I just received the 1st 2 of 4 shipments today - I just pulled the rear end from another Truck
I'm not going to say what all is going to happen, after it's done I'll do the big reveal and ya'll can guess what's different
For the few that know, hang with me please

 

SBC and an automatic with PS, A/C, and scraping the ground, right???

When I saw the thread title, I thought that you got your engine started this morning!

 

i got a 48 f3 rolling chassis here in Wheeling, need anything from it LMK!

 

Ross - I said please don't spoil the fun - Bummer

 

It's been running I'm still driving it now - Maybe for another week or two.

 

I didn't say anything about the 20's and the tubbed rear end... ooopss

I'm excited for you, Dick!

 

I spent most of the day deconstructing a 48 F1 Panel truck frame - I'm taking all the body mounts, spring mounts, crossmembers, the rear end, shock mounts, brake line holders - Anything that I can take off is coming off
The frame was wrecked, cracked and gob welded back together - The frame rails are going to the scrap yard.
This may or may not apply to this project as with the next 52 F1 Panel frame that will be deconstructed in the same manner.

I knew it, I KNEW it

...........a few too many of the purple pills I think........

 

Hey Dick,
You can always go with those cow ***** that hang down off the tow hitch - very popular down here in Texas. You get extra credit if you light them up purple at night or paint them a nice bright color.

Might not look right up there in PA. Look forward to seeing what you are really up to...

In KY they hang a certain veiney appendage .... less tasteful then a cowbell..

 

Won't be able to hang anything off the back - Smooth

 

I got some more shiney bling yesterday - This sucka will be so brignt ya won't even be able to look at it in the dark - Or maybe not - I dropped off some things to be painted, stopped by the mech-a-nicks to talk about whats going to happen and also dropped in on the engine builder to egge him along
Hope to get the transmission parts on order either today on Monday and to finish up the brake brackets for it.
If in the future someone drops in and asks about mods to a F2 it's not about me.

 

It's in the shop, the black curtains have dropped around it, the alarms are armed - This is the beginning of a journey to the un-dark side.

 

The Darkside, it gives me images of Luke Skywalker as he'sbeing turned into Darth Vader and breaking out of his confinement.
