Wow, that thing is a real beauty! What was the approximate selling price tag? Just curious.

If you plant a yard, they'll tax the grass.
If you don't play nice, they'll fine your *$#!
My Dad and Johnny went to the F-100 super nats and took a bunch of pics of that truck (in addition to many other trucks!). Love the look, I would not have thought the red instrument cluster would look good but it looks sweet in there!

Thanks for the kind words guys! I tried like crazy to find another cluster bezel and had to paint the old one in the end to get it done. (it looked better than I thought it would too) I also had the same problem with the CC door panel trim, (thanks flashback f100) grille, and the core support which is about the only rust this truck had. The stance is IFS and flipped rear with a 30" tall cheater slick out back and a 27" bias ply front and the price was mid 20's.

and all the other ford trucks my wife doesn't know about!!
Hey Johnny, wish I would have known you were the guy that belonged to your truck. I like it every time I see it! That was my girlfriend you must have seen and hopefully my wife will not see this post! J/K! Actually that was my wonderful wife! She is a team player majority of the time. Travis from Street trucks mag would have been the guy wanting me to logo the window but John Gilbert did come by also and shot a feature on it on Saturday! With any luck we will see it in his mag soon. As far as selling the truck it was built for that reason. I have a small shop and it gets a little slow sometimes so we usually keep a few slicks around to work on during slow periods and then sell them to recoup labor expense. Trying to do my little bit to make these trucks as popular as the 53-56 or more. Who knows?! Anyway good to hear from you again. You coming back with your truck for next year?
i dont think so thinking of planing fam. trip back home to Mass. i sure hope that adding cars to the gig doesnt destroy it let us know how it goes. i was talking to Grant Peterson (classic trucks mag) he thought it might never be the same well see any way it was a great truck you do excellent work take care.
John

man, that semi gloss really POPS.... that's nice. I think I will go semi gloss next time I recoat Aggie. the flat is just a pisser to keep looking nice. Scratches too easy, too porous, hard to keep clean, cant use any sort of cloth because its kinda rough, and cant wax.... looks like crap forever after it gets its first dirt after painting.... looks totally bomb when it first rolls out of the paint stall though...
'63 with 390 & lots of juice. But never enough. Always want more.
That truck makes me tingle. I took a gazillion pictures of it at the Super Nats. Man. I just can't say enough about it. Circled it like a buzzard, just drooling. Very nice indeed.
Hey Mack welcome to the board! Where abouts in TN. are you? Your truck belonged to a good friend of mine. It cracks me up every time I see that video seeing how out of control it is! What plans do you have for it? Oh yea, thanks for the compliment.
