My current project progress

Don't really know how to upload photo's to post, but I'm slowly building a 78 F100 for my daughter as her first ride. Photo's are in the my Gallery.
Current state.
Engine overhualed, front inner clip painted & detail, frame painted, bed removed and under painted. These next few months will get interior done. Only really rust is floor boards due from windsheild gasket leaking.

Great pictures in your gallery, it's amazing how the paint on your motor makes the accessories pop.Your frame looks really good, curious, is that the original location for the fuel tank.You must be stoked with all your progress,nice work, nice truck.

Thanks for the comments; everything is going pretty well, considering the skill abililty I have, the gas tank is in its originial position, recently purchase new filler hose fuel lines, boy the larger one cost 20 bucks for alittle over 14" long. Right now using a spray paint can cap to cover the inlet tubing.
Thanks again

Just wanted to post alittle update as of today; I've change out the rear bumper to an 80's style and now cutting out floor pans for new one I purchase from lmc. Once I get the floor pans cut out; I'll post so more pic's. I got to fine out how to post on forum and not just gallery.

All you have to do to post a pic from your gallery is click link [forum codes] right below the pic and a box will pop up with some url addresses. Just highlight the top one and right click and select copy then just go to post and right click and select paste the address you just copied will appear and when you click to post voila the picture shows up.



Great looking engine!! I can't wait to see what all you do to the truck.

Here's the lastest work I've done; its a mid 80's style bumper I got from Pull-a-part and modified it to fit. Thanks to Jsutton for teaching me how to post in the forums. I learned pretty good, for a guy who stills listen to an 8 track in his daily driver. lol
But he didn't show me how he pulled up one of my engine pic and paste it?

I just click on your username and go to your gallery. Then when I look at your pics the [forum code] box is there so I just clicked just like I told you to do. You can do that to any picture that anyone has in their gallery.

Oh I see that's alot easier & faster than going thru edit gallery and then scrolling down to pic's. I just try a thumbnail photo; it works. JSutton thanks again. Been on here for years and still learning.
