|  Back from the painter (35 Ford)
Well i got the call last week, she's finally ready to come back home after a 9 month stay!! Luckily he didn't charge me any storage fees while i was bit and piecing the payments  Quick specs: 302EFI & 5sp from 86 Stang, of course worked to 400hp. Fully boxed frame and center cross members. Stang front end, bagged. 4 link rear, bagged. All original metal (except for hood), rear fenders and running boards welded on, chopped 5", hidden hinges, shaved doors, slightly tub'ed. Power windows, door poppers, A/C, and all the interior amenities. After all the excitement, i realized i didn't bring my camera so all i got is these crappy cell phone pics..   The Ford emblem is the third brake light and it has sequential tails in the lower bar..  I got scared and maxed out the bags so i didn't scrub the roll pan getting it on the trailer Lowered down, the exhaust is about 3" from the ground. Still need to finish some wiring and the whole interior, great winter project for AZ Just thought i would share the last 5 years of my work..  |

| Wow, that is very nice!!! Paint and body is the biggest pain and it always takes the longest time. Nice car and color. You have to keep us updated as you complete it.   |

That looks awesome, nice work. What size tires are you running, in the rear? It looks really bad ass, even if it is a ford  |

Sweet ride. That's just plain smoooooooooooth. Kudos to you and the paint/body guys on one fine ride.And yes, the paint and body work are the longest, and generally, most expensive part of any restoration or hot rod project. For anyone out there pondering starting their first 1:1 project vehicle, take whatever you think it's gonna cost, then double it. Then you MIGHT be close. 100g's in a car like this isn't hard to hit, if you have everything done by someone else. |
