    Being new to the F100's what is the benefit from the volare swap? is it simply better handling and ride?

    Truck looks great!
     
  2. Yeah pretty much. Disc brakes, power steering, and the torsion bars allow for adjustable ride height..even better if you get dropped uprights from Fatman fab for $600.
     
  3. Been doing bodywork still. Got an electric dist. for my birthday with every thing I need..also got money.
     
  4. Jon, Just found your thread,Your doing one hell of a job. Like the way it sits,and your choice of motor.

    I sprayed a firewall and fender aprons one time with white..

    Didnt wear the proper protection, needless to say. I was slighlty buzzed, inside of my nose was all white and it glued my nose hairs all together in white.

    The firewall stuff came out great though. :rolleyes:

    Keep banging on this truck dude!

    Paint boogers suck! Man, pulling them things will make your eyes water more than real Texas chili!
     
  18. Guess I'll let the cat outta the bag! Got some new wheels the other day and mounted them yesterday. 15x8 for the back and 15x6 up front..uni lug chrome smoothies with baby moon caps...looks tits I think. :D

    also, two respirators are on there way!

    they are going to complement that dark paint very nicely. Good touch.
