My 1959 Ford F100

Being new to the F100's what is the benefit from the volare swap? is it simply better handling and ride?

Truck looks great!

 

Yeah pretty much. Disc brakes, power steering, and the torsion bars allow for adjustable ride height..even better if you get dropped uprights from Fatman fab for $600.

 

Been doing bodywork still. Got an electric dist. for my birthday with every thing I need..also got money.

 

Jon, Just found your thread,Your doing one hell of a job. Like the way it sits,and your choice of motor.

 

Thanks man.

 

Jon, when are you going to be in paint ? Looking forward to see what it comes out like and what colour you chose.

 

Ha very soon. Got some more bodywork to do

 

Looks great, You'll be proud when you finish the build.

 

Looking forward to it.

 

Wow what a great build.
Looking forward to see the end product.
Really nice job so far.

 

Well been filling in bed and roof seams..almost done. Painted my hood...also got something up my sleave for the truck..will reveal this week hopefully...stay tuned

 

dude!!!!!!!

WEAR A RESPERATOR WHEN YOU ARE SPRAYING!!!!!!

that is all keep going with a cool build

 

Great work..
I drove my buddy's 60 to a funeral yesterday...big block mopar on a volare K-member, push button torquflite. Nice truck!

 

Amen! Just because you are spraying outside does not mean you are not breathing that over spray.

 

Thats a nice truck. and Yeah I probably should have..oops

 

I like the truck! Cool cool!

 

I sprayed a firewall and fender aprons one time with white..

Didnt wear the proper protection, needless to say. I was slighlty buzzed, inside of my nose was all white and it glued my nose hairs all together in white.

The firewall stuff came out great though.

Keep banging on this truck dude!

 

Paint boogers suck! Man, pulling them things will make your eyes water more than real Texas chili!

 

Guess I'll let the cat outta the bag! Got some new wheels the other day and mounted them yesterday. 15x8 for the back and 15x6 up front..uni lug chrome smoothies with baby moon caps...looks tits I think.

also, two respirators are on there way!

 

they are going to complement that dark paint very nicely. Good touch.

 

Man your truck is coming along so nice! The new wheels look great! I can't wait to see the paint done!

 

what tires are they?

 

I like the wheels!!!

 

Firestone radials 205/75/15

 

front and rear?

 

Yes

 

great thread!

 

It's painted! Not perfect but I love it..I'm very proud of myself..also pinstriped the FORD letters..

 

Great job!!! Looks awesomeee!

 

Oh hell yeah! Looks great Jon!
