I just got this my POS effie back from the body shop on Friday and I am pretty happy with the results considering the shape it was in when I got it.

damn, thats a nice lookin truck, a hellova transformation... anymore plans for it?

 

[justin]

Well a lot of my plans got put on hold due to that body/paint work cost a fuking fortune(it was a little more than anticipated)
But for right now I am fixing all of the leaks in the original powerplant 300/C4 but I have a 351C I want to build and drop in someday. But the 300 only has 92,000 miles so it should last me a pretty long time. I am installing power brake booster, nice set of rims, cd player with new speakers, carpet, basically redo the whole interior(dashpad, door panels, seat recovered, etc.) I am the 4th generation owner of this truck and I am trying to make it into something I can keep for a long time.

Very nice looking truck now. Amazing what some TLC can do to a truck. Glad to see it on the road and looking good vs. being scrapped or parted out.

Thanks, it is costing a small fortune, but I love it.
Rule #1 to any restoration it WILL cost twice as much as you originally thought

a 351c in there would be perfect

It is even better when I pulled it and the 3spd tranny from a 70 mach 1 mustang. :toothless :thumbup It will be at least next summer before I can spend the cash on it, but it will be well worth it.
