My wife and buddies always comment about me not wearing shoes. I hate shoes.

 

Me too! I hate wearing shoes.

 

Ahh. I remembered someone in the past doing it and saying the kit that's out there is junk. I found the thread. It be you. At one point in time I started dinking with fabing some 97 T-Bird regulators to fit in my 68 F250. Switches huh? Think I'll revive an old thread of mine maybe it will help you figure out which switches to use.

 

Oh yeah? How 'bout Shooz?

I went with the Autoloc switches so I could use my stock window handles.

 

Over the top amigo, over the top... Your ride will be a super sleeper, but those wheels will give away some of the surprise. If it were a sailing yacht, the word would be "Bristol"...

It's been a awhile, any updates?

 

Kinda. I ended up recovering my stuff from the painter. The bed is still not painted but I did get the doors painted. He re-sprayed the fenders and started sanding them but I just took all my paint and parts and left. Dude wanted me to pay him way more than he was worth and it was like pulling teeth to get him to do anything. Also decided to ditch the 700r4 and go with a GM4l80e with a compushift controller. I have about 90% of the truck wired and all the AC ducts run. It's not easy to run four Ac and two defrost ducts with the recessed firewall and reworked dash. Not very much room left. I had to get real creative. I'll post up some pics later tonight.

 

Good deal amigo, I have been wondering too... keep us on the same page, when you can. Your thread is one of my favorites...

Not too much to really show. I got the panels that go behind the seat covered in some extra black leather I had. The only reason I didn't use the tan leather was I did not think I would have enough since I am going to do the headliner and one extra set of door panels.

 

Very nice work!!!

 

nothing but the best work of course, looks sharp as hell man. I love the speaker idea, very cleaver indeed.

 

Thanks guys.


After I pulled my axles to measure for new ones this morning, I got started on the tailgate. Got everything cut out and some of the major dents out. Need to go buy some steel now so I can get this thing back together and give it a different look

 

Good Morning 100,
Since you are working on your factory tailgate, I have an idea, which may, or may not work if you are inventive. I have thought of using a coil spring, off one of my air chisels, and work it into the bottom ends, of the tailgate, and see if it would assist in the lowering/raising of the tailgate?? The idea being for the spring to take up some of the weight as the gate is lowered, and to provide a bit of 'push' or lift, when raising it. Ford engineers have done this on the new $2500 tailgates.
It is just an idea, but it may be worth a 'Shade Tree' try... you never know, you might blaze a trail for the rest of us...??

That, my good Amigo, is a darned good idea. Specially on this build. Hio would be All Over adding it to his Compilation Sticky I'm sure. I think I just heard Randle saying "if I wasn't working on the Mustang now.......".
