February chat thread

A few hours late but here it is.

Had another great weekend. I love being home on the weekends. It is time to slow down a little. Spent too much time chasing a dollar and not living.

Taking tomorrow off. Have a few things to do.

I am getting things together to start on my 1951 F100. I have big plans. Just hope I can put the cash together to build it. My 79 bronco will be for sale soon. Great body. No dents. A little surface rust. I also have a 5.9 Cummings to go with it.

Right now I am looking a fat boy frame. Complete rolling chassis. Mustang 2 front and narrowed 4 link rear. I want to build a street rod that sees some track time. Engine plans are a 800 hp big block ford.

Yeah, buddy! When you get going on it, start a build thread so we can watch it come together!

She needs a lot of work. It was my dads truck.

When I start I will do a build thread. Should have started years ago.

I like the rat rods also Todd. But this one I want show quality. Daddy always wanted it painted a blue color. I'm not sure what color.

Not really decided on an engine yet. I just want strong and fast. Need to do my research.
