Nice looking COE Mixer Man. I like the bent up grill. It makes it look like the truck is talking to you.
Are you planning on making it a functional mixer truck?

Can you tell me more about the Lexus Front end, Is it going in your F1 ? I was not aware the lexus is similar to the Crown Vic. Please keep sharing information along with plenty of pictures as you continue.

I can't say that I'm a fan of black wheels, HOWEVER, the black centers with the polished rims and that color combination is sorta like an interception and a return for a touchdown. nice job. By the way, I am still looking for replies to my "Who are the real Ford guys?" thread. I only have a few days to finish up the project

That's the oem grill with the recess modification done to the headlamp buckets and 56 trim rings. It's posted on the HAMB site. I think I might have seen it trickle around here once as well.

You really have a nice truck there, the two colors blend really well and the wheels and stance give it that menacing attitude.
I am not a fan of green or big wheels but in your case I will say you nailed it they just work. You have the eye

Thanx
Was able to cross the blower off my bucket list. The blower was originally planned for my panel, but put her here. It is a 33 chevy five window, 57 392 chrysler hemi, gmc roots blower. Drove to Hanford 50-60 miles to get an ice cream at a little car cruise in, I figure that Ice cream cost me a 100 bucks. Tuned it way down and do local things only. Put a trailer hitch on the panel hopefully it tows it. I am glad to have that out of my system and building my panel to be able to drive.

Hahahaha. Yep, that's the plan. To return it to original operating condition, but with a 12 volt system and a few goodies and mods thrown in.. I have seen pictures of a couple of these that have been totally restored to "as new" condition. I'm not going that far, I'll leave that for the next guy.
