54 Ford F100 Build

Here's the truck. It's ugly on the box, but I see the potential.

Glued the rear fenders on and stuck the body together to see what I'll be working with

It's neat that it has an actual frame, and I got the leaf springs and axles together.

Got some paint on the frame and started on the motor, it's a monster.

I got to looking at it, and the front end sat a little tall for my taste, so I decided to move the axle from under the springs to over the springs to give it a mild drop.

Cut the axle off

and mounted it above the springs

Wasn't too fond of the chrome wire wheels but didn't want to bother trying to find different wheels, so I painted the insides.

Wow. I'm liking this one and really want to see what you are going to do with the body.

I dig it.

Cool project !
