Henry should have made those pickups with a chopped top right from the factory.........they look so cool like that. Coming along pretty well, looking good.

I don't follow many build threads. This one I like because I am a junkyard dog too. Finding a decent used drivetrain for a couple hundred bucks is always cool.
I started my build figuring a year would do it. I think that was about 4 years ago and I am half done now. The little stuff really eats up the budget, bolts, welding supplies, stuff like that. I quit keeping track and decided I'd rather have the car done like I want than save a few $$ along the way. I have spend probably $200 on just the grade 8 bolts.

I also found it was cheaper to go all new on front discs than doing a rebuild on the old drums. I think I have around $150 into the new rotors, brackets and calipers/hardware.

Yup
that chopped roof gives the ford a mean/cool look that just makes you wish it was yours!
