I have no problem there if it can be in the copper form LOL . Heck i'll give ya four hand full's . That truck is a shiner for sure may need to be under glass when your done . It's being done with just the right look .

Thanks Bobby. The whole plan for the truck was to have it look like it was built in '72. Friend of mine accused me of "pimping it out"..... probably true, but in stock form the bumpside Ford's are just such plain jane looking things, thought it needed a bit of pizzazz to separate from the farm trucks!!!!!

Now that the outside of the box on the '71 is looking good, thought I should do something about the inside. I made a template with some posterboard and copied it onto some .090" aluminum.... Gives the inside of the box a finished look... Still have to do some sanding on the panels, then decide if it's polish or paint for the aluminum... Next thing for the box will be some nice wood and divider strips for the floor....

looking good Dave. Better watch it, you may end up keeping her after all this work!

Sheesh Dave, it's almost ready to hit the road! Nice work!

A man with a plan . Nice touch in the bed closing off the sides like that and with aluminum . But i think polished would be sharpest but it is alot of work .

Well, it is aluminum.....and the dash is polished aluminum..... Have to see what kind of mood I'm in tomorrow.....

I like the aluminum touch Dave, nice. Thats going to be a really clean look, anywhere else getting the aluminum sheeting?
How is the red race car coming along? I still want to see a pic of it whens it's done

I have the body done, last I heard from Lyle and Ronnie they were still waiting for the last of the parts to show up and a bit of delay on the shop that's building the 'glide (yup, a supermod with a glide in the 70's) to get it done.... Anxious to see it all together myself!!!!!!

That was a thought, too......but I have other things to get done this month, too!!!!!!

This looks great, Dave! Drive it around town for a few weeks and let it get some public exposure before you sell; you should have no trouble. Very unique build! Right now I'm finishing a few things on my 95 Aspire, and I bought a 94 Sundance for my oldest daughter because her car got flattened in her driveway when a storm blew a tree over. I got this cheap but it needs some odds and ends before it's road ready. Then I STILL have to get to my son's 94 Firebird (anyone ever changed a heater core in one of these? The Haynes manual doesn't cover it.) Then MAYBE, POSSIBLY, I can work on my Plymouth again. It never fails; when you have time to work on them you dont have money. Then you get a little cash to put towards it and all your free time evaporates. Frustrating..........

I know exactly what you mean, Falcon!!! Keep trying to work on my own stuff, and I never really seem to find enough time to get things finished up....

My brake fittings for the front lines came in yesterday, switched from the nasty rubber ones to some braides stainless -4 lines... Need to pick up a master cylinder, couple fittings for the intake manifold and go for a drive around town then get it sold and on to other projects.... Like to also get the 'maro done and sold and get Tom's coupe put together before the bad weather gets here.... Then just a few other things to do before it gets cold like finish painting the house and garage, change out a couple more windows, and the usual fall work... Oh yeah, gonna be gone a couple weeks for my nephews wedding and a bit of snooping around in the Austin, Tx. area.... Other then that, not much going on here!!!!!!!!!!

Dave, I'm sure glad I don't have to deal with the winters up there anymore, here some of the houses have their water meter above the ground, a few have the water main running across the ground not buried. I am going to screw my snow shovel the wall, it is retired for good!!! If it snow up here, I'll wait it out, I am in no hurry anymore! We owe nobody nothing, for anything!!! Feels GREAT!
