hey, F100builder how did you take the reflectors out of the hood reflectors?

I didn't...Jamie did.

Very nice job on the engine and an awesome shop too. It looks like you have a lot going on in there. Whats the plan for the old 1950's looking pickup?

Thanks! My shop is merely a 3-car garage. I call it my toy room! Of course I've hung a few items on the wall that bring me joy like an old WALK/DON'T WALK signal (a circa 1950's east coast traffic light is ready to hang too!), some Model A stuff, a few old hubcaps, and several Ford pickup grilles.




I've had my '56 for over 23 years now (since I was 15) and I'm going all out on that one. Lots of $$$! It's got a fully boxed frame with tubular K-members, a Mustang II IFS w/ 2" dropped spindles, power steering, tilt column, 4-link coilover 9" with a 3.89 geared Trac-Loc, 11" power disc brakes at all 4 corners, and last but NOT least, a 470hp/483 ft-lb 396ci SMALL block FORD backed by an AOD. I have plans for shaved handles and emblems, keyless entry, power windows, all-new custom upholstery, and a stereo that will blow women's clothes off!
