Looks good!, Im gonna be doing the same since my down n dirty mock up is still sitting right next to me as I type..I keep telling myself not to mess with it right now as for the dog house, I have an awesome MRS that has never once complained when I bought or drug something home...She listens to my hairbrained ideas since Im a designer and fabricator whos brain never shuts off.. Although honestly, i do wish she would stop me once and awhile..but Im not gonna tell her that!!!! haha

I had to buy 5 corvette builds to get a started street shark... now that i have one, its going full drag race mode (will open up the rear wheelwells for proper slick location and put proper wheels under it).

  17. I just sectioned a 53 f100 myself haha. mine currently has a blown olds sitting between the inner fenders but thats not definite yet. Once I finish my fender mods, Ill be chopping the top and finishing the hood. Ill eventually post a build thread
  18. I love EARLY 70s mavericks and Comets..The 5mph bumpers wreck the look from 74 on haha. My father bought one new in 73 during his senior year of high school. VERY shortly after he took delivery, he put the 4 speed and 9inch out of his friends totaled Mach 1, put a cam in it, and did a few other things. Car ran in the 12s and he daily drove it until 76 when he bought his "highboy" pick up. The Comet was then given to my mom to drive daily to school. He ran cragars on it usually, changing it up to painted steelies and dog dish caps here and there.... it ended up with endless lined panels for a bit as well. It was cinnamon brown with brown interior. He still has it but its waiting its turn for restoration. He also has a 71 Maverick were collecting the parts to build a early prostock tribute car out of...
