hola well i'm the newest guy it seems, well my names Matt i live in southern cali and i just turned 18.i drive a 1950 ford f-1 truck with a 351w engine,fordomatic trans, and a olds rearend. i dont want a fancy billit rod. i just want something thats low and built to haul ass.
what part of so cal? truck sounds swell, any pics? i had the pleasure of flat blacking one of those a few years ago, at a body shop in grass valley. man i loved that truck(it was a customers). i can still remember how it smelled inside. jeff
yeah i have a couple of pics. i live in carson (where the good yr blimp lives) it's right next to long beach
wicked, it says right by his name where he lives, smart guy. and you call yourself an english professor. and you only remember that truck because it smelled like bloody tuna. anyways welcome new guy.
Yeah,the truck is in good shape....but has been apart for 10 years and 4 moves around the state,,,,a few parts are missing. I have always like this model and it was reasonable,,,, Brought it home and put it in the barn. ....future project! HRP
Well, keep us in suspense, what DID it smell like? Hydrazine? Winona Ryder? Dead animals? A meth lab? Come to think of it car smells might be a good idea for a thread...in tech week. Well back to the Ezra Brook 90 proof.
yeah thanx, i got some plans for it, idont know if i want the front and back pinstriped or if i want to paint some flames on it. what do u guys think?
Welcome. Nice truck. Have a similar project myself. You might want to check this thread out: F1 Customs
Welcome to HAMB, its good to have some more people my age around here-shows thst the hobby isn't dying or at least that I'm not the only one! lol
Bien Venidos, joven. That ol' F-Truck oughta haul a lotta asses. Nuthin' wrong with billet, if its on someone elses ride, right? Look at the bright side, if ya build one with a billet gas cap, then all ya gotta do is change the cap. the PknBner
yeah nothings wrong with billet hehehe. right now i'm tryin to find a job so i can buy another ride so i can send this baby into some brand new primer and perhaps flames or scallops. i saw a pretty sweet 51 with some wild flames at the primer nats, i want to keep the body styleing the way it is because i love that front end since i was a little kid, i just want to slam it and give it a lil hair cut. it used to have merc tail lights untill my older brother took them off and put them stock ones on it.
