53 Ford F100 project

[ronniemckinney]

It's still got a long way to go but here are a few shots of the F100 me and a buddy have been working on. It started as someone else's project I got off e-bay and once I got it, I didn't really like their work. As you can see from the photos, we've cut the body about every which way you can!

A few more in progress shots with the curved firewall starting to take shape.

More shots of the curved firewall and yes, that is part of a wheelbarrow being used for the recess.

Nice Work, keep it comming.

More shots... Like the truck wasn't getting small enough after chopping it 6" and narrowing it 10", we bobbed 4" off the bottom. It seemed a lot easier than a true section through the middle of the doors.

Nice looking 56 in the background.

I wish it was mine! My buddy has owned that since he was 15 and we are both in our 40s now. It has gone through a few looks over the years but I think the current one is my favorite.

We built our own rockers and it was easier to flip the truck than for my buddy to weld laying on his back. I'm running 49-54 Chevy spindles, brakes, wheels, etc.
