Hello, my name is Seth. I registered here a while ago, but haven't been on in a long time. I had two 54 F100s, but had to sell most of the pair. I kept what I needed to build one though. I just didn't have the space to build it along side with my other project. It will be a long term build though, and definitely expensive. So I decided to build another quick project before starting it now that I have a new shop and a lot more space. I just hope this one doesn't snowball as much as the last one. But, I just picked up a clean 30 Chevy cowl, front axle and wishbones, spring, and a set of wide 5 wheels. I've got a lot of other parts for it already. The plan is a budget minded roadster pickup to build this summer as a shop truck and cruise next show season. I have some pictures. Yeah I know, red wheels and white walls. Don't worry, they won't stay that way, thats how I got them. Once I figure out what color I want to paint this thing I will figure out a wheel color. Most likely gloss black or graphite.
You ever go to freak fest or forbidden fantasy?? I meet someone named Seth there a few years back when I helping out my buddies with there bagged trucks and cars.
Freakfest was before my show going time, but I have done several Forbidden Fantasy shows over the years. I run a shop and specialize in chassis building and air ride, so I work on mini trucks a lot, and go to those shows too.
I think I met you then, back in 04 or 05 forbidden when it was a 100 degrees out.. know a bunch of negative chamber and down to earth guys, aftermath.. still like my old steel better thou. Starten to get my buddies to see the light...
The Down To Earth guys are building some old stuff now. 60s trucks, and one is even build a 30s Ford pickup. Cool people. I have friends in most clubs though. Everyone is good people for the most part. I too prefer the old steel though. I will admit though, I built an early minitruck, because it was affordable when I was 16 and a good way to learn. But its time to get back to what I really like. I've had my F100 since I was 14...
