My dad and me owned a 1978 ford pickup. Had the inline 6 and the 4speed manual overdrive transmission. We called the fast 4 speed. Geared faster than the old 4 speed manual. Always started out in 1st gear. We still got a lot of work out of it.
Ten years ago I was given a rusted out 65 mustang convertible. I took my plasma cutter and cut the car up so a friend of mine hauled it to the scrap yard. I kept the drivers side door tag, left front fender vin number. I ordered a new convertible chassis and built a new 65 convertible. Added a four link rear suspension mustang 2 front suspension. Built a stroked 289 block to 347 cubic inch. I was 70 years old when I built my 65. I was approached by a guy who wanted to buy my car as it was and he and his 15 year old son completed the car. I tried to use all Dyna Corn sheet metal but had some Taiwan metal I had no choice to buy. I’m 80 and still in my shop everyday. Working keeps you healthy. Good luck to all you car builders.
Love your Truck brother. I have the same Truck in Australia those side runners. What are they? OFF? If you can send me the link where you bought them I’d appreciate it. Cheers Michael.
The product looks great but the video is a waste of time if you aren't going to give us the price. My time is valuable and hunting around begging for prices isn't something I do.
Are old bodies that hard to find these days? Maybe the fastbacks, but not hard to make a coupe into fastback relatively to building a complete body from scratch.
69 FB ...but 10k for fiberglass parts just seems a bit stiff. that car as it sits will need an enourmous amount of work done to it to safely drive daily. More thousands upon thousands of dollars in parts & labor etc then legal stuff. 6k? sounds fair
I knew at 1 time where 3 of these original "Ponies" were just wrecked and rotting away but still running at the time,......... if they only had these options back in day when I was still in high school. Now you take a totaled, twisted, rotted wreck and just re-body the "VIN" and enjoy............... this is how it should be. AWESOME work!!!
