I think i am going to want more Horsepower so give me some ideas on how to gain some cheap horsepower. I am thinking of going with a flat black paint job for now. I just want to get it on the road and drive it then later on down the road i will make it a perfect show truck. You guys have any cool ideas for my truck any thing at all i am open to ideas. Thanks for looking and replying.

Here is my 55 F-100 with a flat black paint job



However, it doesn't look like that right now, i have it torn all the way down to the frame.. (again). The first time I did that I installed a Mustang II front end (as well ast he 302/c4 combo). Now I am boxing the entire frame (done) and creating a tubular x-style cross member (partially done..as seen below)



I think its cool to run into people with the 53-56 fords.
