My old/new project
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.

My grandfather has a orange 69 Ford truck that barely has over a 100k miles on it.

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.
