My old/new project

[89five0Gt]

Well, for some reason I've got in a car club and now I'm going to try and make a "show vehicle". Its mostly local ppl that I've known for years. I've been taking my mustang to the local cruises but its not what I consider show quality. I have started cleaning up on my 71 Ford truck. I've been claiming it as my truck long before I could drive and done a few things to it throughout high school. I'm going to start off with some new wheels and hopefully a paint job next year when my camper gets paid off. I have found a 429 BB but I have not fully decided yet on what I want to do.:popcorn:

Just talk to a guy and I'm picking up some newer model Lightning seats. Mine are in great shape but it'd be different, and it was at a good price.

:(Well my truck caught on fire this past weekend. Not to bad but its gonna need some work. The fuel filter developed a leak and shot gas on the header.(thats all my dad and I can figure out) and poof. We finally got the fire out and my ford sticker is burnt off, some hoses melted, breather and some wires and its pitch black under the hood. We turned it over when we put the fire out and saw it spraying gas on the header. It will be a while before I can get back working on it since I left it for my dad to drive. Oh well.

Not cool! That reminds me- I think I need to get a 'stinguisher mounted in my car.

Well I ended up buying a 429BB . I'll have it ready hopefully next summer. The faster I sale my car, The faster I get the motor the way I want. Then it'll be ready for a paint job

I have always liked that body style of truck. I had a '70 about 15 years ago that I loved but a neighbor loved it more than me :jester:

Good luck with the project.
