Projects 61 Ford unibody build

One more I need to stick the front on and do a full of it.Next is the back bag brackets then I can roll it out side if its not 30 deg.

Jake

 

I am glad she still had the rear bumper on.

Jake

 

Sweet!! Those wheel openings are just perfect for being bagged!

 

My buddy next door helped stick the front end back on so I could get a pic of the entire truck.I hate that I chipped the bondo off the door guess it was hit at one time and the repair is really bad just makes me want to get the door skin on faster i guess.

Jake

 

Need to take about 1/2 in out of the front cups to get it to lay all the way but its really close now.

Jake

 

Thanks the rear was centered on the original placement of bump stop then ended up 1/4 back from there front is moved forward about 1 1/4 .

Threads like Rynos 61 build and advise and more resent flatout65s build of his 61 uni and advise is a huge help on decision making and placement of parts.

Thanks guys it took me years to get another project truck glad I did now the hard part is making it run and drive lol.

Jake

Thanks man.i have a few things to tweak but I am happy with the way it's comming together.

Jake

 

Thanks! I'm on the hunt for a 61-66. Had a 64 and sold it to fund another project.

 

You should be able to find a good one down in Texas.

Jake

 

When I got the truck someone along its life had replaced the front cab mounts and just put them back where the cab had settled over the years so the front fenders has some gap at the bottoms with no way to adjust it out so I cut out a section of the front of the frame where the core support mounts to give me some adjustment room.

Jake

 

I have tried to up load more that one pic a post but it won't let me do it sorry ?

Jake

 

Put a 12 in door skin on the passenger door.

Jake

Jake

 

Had to cut rebend the top of the fender for the tires to clear I will weld it all back to have a stock appearance .

Jake

 

Sweet! Making good progress ! Any ideas on paint yet?

 

Thanks not sure almost everyone really likes the color it is now.

leave it the stock color but with a white top maybe with some kind of pearl or white flake or pearl.

Or just leave it like it is but fix the rust holes spot it in put some pinstripes on it.
