40 Ford update (sort of)

Well here's a few pics of my 40 project. It still has a little way to go yet before its road ready but its getting closer. I did manage to take a little stroll around the block in it last weekend. These pics were taken right before the HAMB drags during my week long thrash to get it there...yeah it didnt make it.
My comp has been down since June and I just got it back running a couple weeks ago.











As a little reminder, this is what it looked like when I got it in May of 05.

 

awesome

 

Nice... is that a corvette wheel?

Thanks

I like it. another cool 40 from Missouri.

 

Cool man

 

Looks good Troy.
Don't put the hood back on man!

I set mine on the car just to get it out of the way the
other day.
Sandi walks into the shop, so I ask her how she likes
the look of the 4D with the hood on?
She says "It looks like an old car that needs a paint job".

Thanks guys couldnt reply earlier on for some reason kept showing some kind of error.

Brian...yeah thats an early Vette" wheel. Used a GM shaft inside the Ford mast.

Visor... funny how it can go from hot rod to old car needing a paint job with just the addition of a little thing like the hood.

Assdragger you know if have to finish that T it is going to be Planet Green. BWAAHAHAHAA.
