Hot Rod Young'n
Whats up everybody. My name is Joseph, im 23 and from NY...I currently have a 56' Ford F-100, which you can say has been modified "a little bit"...I got into Hot Rods a few years ago..When i was younger, i was into the whole import scene (which i still somewhat like)..Being a tall guy (6'8) i needed something big, which is how i ended up falling in love with trucks..Just something about seeing a layed out truck draggin ass across the pavement that i love..Plus all the custom work that goes into the frames to get some of these trucks to lay down amazed me..For there i ended up going even bigger and getting into hot rods..Hot rods are where its at...There is nothing more custom then a fully built hot rod, building it yourself from the frame up..You can truely say you built the car...Either way, unless i get some lessons and welding and everything else that comes along with building a hot rod, i have my 56' F-100 to show on the scene and across around in for now..Hope to mod this some more in the future...
Heres some pics..There are watermarks on them, to be honest i dont trust people on the internet much when it comes to pictures of cars. Ive seen a lot of people steal other peoples pictures and try to play it off like its their car...Uneekvisions is my website which is currently being developed...
Me driving the truck out of a show.
Just to let your imagination wonder how i fit in this truck..Im 6'8..Look at my height compared to this truck, which doesnt have a lot of leg room either..
And finally a pic i couldnt watermark really...These are my hidden grille lights. They are actually above where they actually appear to be. They just shine down at night to give the illusion like they are actually on the grille itself :squint:
