bored-Heres my Ford rigs/projects in various stages:

the '58 f700, as a temporary lowrider, awaiting a 4 door stretch and custom box and frame. Not much to this rig yet:I love the huge fenders:what i want the body to look like when im done, and I like the solor scheme too. my photoshop of a derelict.you all have seen this one, its still at my moms house awaiting finishing interior, bumper/frame and rear dually fenders:

and the dually fenders being made, I am forbidden from welding where i live now, so I have to wait until moving to finish them.
This bone stock 79 is in the paint shop right now, getting a tan/gold metallic base/clear. (all of my remaining money going to her at the moment) bought for $590 a few months ago, then sold my '73 crew in the background to fix up a daily driver bronco.And the tow rig/daily driver/camping/work/toy:

Thanks for the updates!
That Centurion is one of my favorites. You can do all the welding you want here. I'll let you park it at my house, and I'll even drive it for you.
The 58 isn't going to be a 4X4?

I'm only a little over an hour away, if you want to bring 'em up sometime you can weld 'em up here in my driveway. I have a Millermatic 35, but only Co2 right now, you might want to bring a bottle of 75/25...

I could bring them up, but i need one more passenger side 73-79 f600 fender. I have all of my own stuff to weld with, I could just bring it. It would be cool to have a decent place to work on things. where do you live Cloverdale?

That thing isnt going anywhere for a while. until I find out where im going to be living, its staying in Las Vegas at family's house. The 58 will eventually be a 4x4, right. As of now, its in pieces in a shed. Im gonna bust that project out as soon as I get a house and finish the 78. Modesto is kinda far from me.

Dan lives up by Clear Lake.

I really like that '58. It is a great truck. Keep the photos coming.

Yeah, as Karl said, I'm at Clear lake. My driveway's not too bad a place to work when the weather is decent. Kinda sucks when it raining or 110º though...

Well I snuck out the welder last evening and welded up a rear dually fender for the '78, came out pretty good, just need the truck now to finish it, still not sure if i should weld it to the bronco's quarterpanel, or bolt it on. my computer is broken (crushed by fist) so I cant upload photos atm. I could take a trip up there, when are you around mostly?

It varies. I'm out of work and doing a lot of odd jobs to bring in a buck now and then, so I'm in and out a lot. Just got back from LA hauling two VW buses on a two-car trailer behind my '68 F250, got to go up to Chico to pick up two more and haul 'em to Woodland tomorrow but AFAIK I'll be around this weekend.
