Ok I don't even know how to assign points but how about extra points for not having a dog box, or tool box in the bed cause there is no room to fit with the radiator, fuel cell and battery plus rear of roll cage, and points for NOT having a gun rack cause you don't have a rear window to put it in.
And extra points for having a Ford engine with 2 or less parts actually made by ford. and I think not having any carpet or sound deadener in the cab should be worth 25 pts atleast. lets see 20 points if your suspension doesn't even resemble stock anymore.
And lastly 75 pts if your truck can go from zero to 60 in less than 4 seconds in mud. And another 50 if you can do it with the front tires off the ground.

I'd call my project a low income one, $5.25 an hour and i'm only making a $125-200 a month. I'm also doing all the work myself. My truck is dirty most of the time, just can't resist going down those muddy roads. Electronic ignition was just something i thought of cause it's on a 57, only point distributors then. I really don't have to worry about picking up girls cause my gf loves me and my truck. I also have a working jack on board along with the necessary tools. I guess the only thing i care about anymore on my truck is it being reliable and it holding up to the 800 mile trip i'm going on in 2 years. The only thing i really do deeply care about is my girlfriend.

Not sure how to rate the points but I have a bench seat welded to the floor (previous owner) which by the by has 4 seat belts on it. There has to be credit given for the truck being used as a weed killing vehicle for all the oil it leaked out on the side yard. And how about a little something for that 8" steering wheel and non self cancelling turn signals? And I know someone out there still has an 8 track in their truck. I found one in our local junk yard that I almost picked up and installed but it looked pretty rough. Someone out there has a stack of Abba tapes collecting dust just waiting to be played!

SUV= negative points (See-soccer mom). I like the points for a jack and tire repair/plug kit. BUT, what kind of wuss-bag dog rides in a box in the back? That just ain't right. How many points for a camo flag on the hood, with camo flames going through it? My Ford is too clean to get any points, but my Chebby gets lots.

and around here anyway, the coon hunters keep their dogs in dog boxes in the back of the truck.
More points...
5 points for dirty jeans/bibs if they got dirty at work (negative 10 points for oily looking pants that have been made that way by the manufacturer).

Ok, I'm definately not macho, even though I drive a lifted Bronco. I even got a sticker made up that says 'Chick truck', after I had too many guys ask me if it belongs to my significant other.
Anyways, I think that a too clean truck is not macho. Trucks that are slammed to the ground are definitely not macho.
As for men. I think that a man that gets his hands dirty is macho. I also think that some hair on the face and cowboy or work boots are macho looking.

I guess i don't really worry about being all that macho, my gf/wife is happy with me the way i am, i don't need to impress anyone to make her happy. She once wanted to steal my truck before we went out but now she just wants me with it..lol.. we liked to joke about that type of stuff. She loves my truck for what it is and loves the style of it. Machoness is not important to her for she loves me for who i am.
