It's a neighbor of my parents. I don't know all the options or anything, just that his uncle bought the truck in 74 with 8,000mi (someone traded it in a year after buying it new), and has owned it till about 5 years ago, when he gave it to this guy.
It was from TN, so it was already pretty clean. He just had the body sandblasted, and all I have to do is fix all the dents. No rust work, no patching, no grinding, nothing. I'll be doing the paint work too! He knows I'm just a body man, but he still wants me to paint it anyway, probably because anyone else will charge him an arm and a leg! He doesn't want it "Barret Jackson" nice, but just a nice driver. It's going 2 tone, red on the top and bottom, and white in the middle.
I'll be updating this thread with pics, so keep checking back! :355:
He borrowed a sandblaster and did the frame his self in his driveway to save some money. He races super modifieds on the weekends, so he has a BIG ass barn with anything you'd need where we're working on it. Just about everything on the truck only needed cleaned and painted, so he sprayed some black and silver Rustoleum on it all. Came out pretty good! He's also a Ford mechanic, so he freshened up the motor a great deal...
