Teddy J. Tannehill Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I love these old woody's. This one is lookin' great, everything about it adds to its charm.
bpletcher55 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Posted May 10, 2014 FOUND A MOTOR I LIKED ,NEEDED POWER AND SOMETHING MODERN ,O AND IT HAD TO BE A FORD ! IT TOOK SOME WORK BUT SHE IN THERE , I BELEAVE THE MOTOR IS FROM THE REVEL 32 PHANTOM VICKIE . THE BODY WAS JUST WASHED SO THAT IS WAY IT HAS WATER ON IT ,
Modlbldr Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) That looks cool with the chop and color. My only suggestion is to tuck the rear bumper in since you removed the spare tire. You should be able to still do it by trimming about 3/16 off of the splash pan. Later- Edited May 10, 2014 by Modlbldr
