F100 Update!
Hey guys! I finally found some time to work on my project truck.. As it sits now, it is just a frame, axles, and cab basically.
About two months ago, I had found a guy on CL selling a rad support, front fenders, doors, rear step bumper, and hood. I wound up takin all of this off his hands for $120 and about an hour drive each way. All of the parts are rust free and in good shape with very minor dings and dents. I will be selling the bumper, drivers side door, and maybe one of the hoods as i have two. If i cant sell em, Ill use one as an experiment and make a cowl induction hood for it.
But anyway, over thanksgiving break, I pulled off both the front fenders and inner fenders, and put the new passenger side door on it as well. The door still needs some adjustment but it does close so ill worry about that later. Now since im working on this outside with no garage, Ill prob leave the rest of it til after the winter. Which by then, I think I am goin to pull the cab off it and get the frame sandblasted and then paint it with POR15. And speakin of sandblasting, I saw Harbor Freight sells "Abrasive Soda Blasters"...? Has anyone used one of these or own one? Are they worth it, do they work good? Ill try to post a few pics of the truck currently too.
