Hi all. My name is Eddie. I am from a little hole in the woods called Rose Hill, N.C. I recently became the owner of a hacked up, ratty 1966 F-100 that my dad thought was cool. Her bought 2 of them, out e for me and one for my brother that he intended to restore and pass down to is. Unfortunately he passed on Christmas Day 2012 of a heart attack so we got our trucks early...way early. Nothing had been done to either of them. I posted pics of mine in my profile. Some body work has been done to it since that was taken and I am doing everything myself, along with my wife and stepson. It will be painted wild pomegranate red in a single stage and debadged and shaved. The interior will be completely custom. The glove compartment, ashtray and factory radio opening have already been shaved and I am going to fiberglass up a console for it with some bucket seats. I have been rescuing pitbulls (have 3 mixes living in they house now) and now I am rescuing this truck. It was a junkyard special. My goal is to make it MY truck, one of a kind, the truck I want. I know I will find haters because its not going back to original, but it's my truck and there's no point if it's not going to reflect my personality.
