The Cadillac of Fords.... Convertable IDI

What you guys think? Nice aint' it?





More like IDI from Hell eh?

Notice how the front of the cab fell on the drivers side.


Best picture hands down!




Got my hitch off


Box off





I see no reason this wouldn't pass a safety other than my horn doesn't work.

You should see the looks on some peoples faces when they go by, some come to a complete stop in there cars to look at it. lol I had the box standing up right beside it till today. I had to cut the box in 4 pieces to fit it in my F150 to haul it off for scrap.

Donor truck ain't at home yet, have to go get it this week it to strip it. It's stored with the motorhome 10 min away from me.

I have better plans for it than POR-15.

If anything I'd go to the 86 and older model, personnally i'm no fan of the 92+ model for many little reasons. I'm no big on the bricknose either but for the shakes of keeping it as original as I can, it's staying a bricknose.

I LOVE the 70's Dentside Fords
