Projects Got My New Daily Driving Project, 1959 Ford F100

Go north 99 out of Fresno past the San Joaquin river and there will be a turn off to Firebaugh, go east till you get to town and there will be signs from there. Eagle Field is pretty close to I-5 so you pretty much cross the valley. It's easy to find.

The only thing new with mine is I bought complete Volare suspension for next winter

 

Eagle Field!

 

Hey thanks. I may make it. But I may do the final paint this weekend> I'm bustin my @$$ to try and get it straight for paint! Well.... Back to work I'll give you guys an update before I wet sand it.

 

Well Igot the second coat of primer on today. This one is a beige primer... And honestly I really like this color. Kind of Classy. Here's some pics...

 

Rattlecan or you have a compressor in your garage? I need to paint mine soon but the cost of materials is killer

 

I actually work at a paint and body shop. Did all the body work here at the house and had it sprayed in a booth with the compressor.

I should be getting my flake on this weekend or early next week.

 

Lucky! I was thinking of flake originally but now im gonna go with a white top and a super secret metallic body color! I need to find some whites pretty soon, it's gotten hard to move forward though with the whole unemployed situation!

 

Well just keep keepin on man. Sell anything (parts, ect) you know you'll never need to get stuff for your machine. Believe me I was there and was a 99er. I had a nice lifted newer truck for a daily and sold it to keep this hot rod addiction in my veins. I just can't stop. haha I have a 56 GMC I have to get on as soon as this one's painted.

 

Got the back end lowered today. What do you guys think?

 

Looks good! What did you de arch, or remove springs? I need to lower mine too.

 

Dearching is the way to go. And you can remove the springs too.

 

Looks Good! when you get it flaked, what wheels you gonna run?

 

I'm actually thinking about...... flaking the wheels to match the top. I don't know if it'll look good but i never seen it before so I wanna try it.

 

then put a chrome baby moon hubcap on them...

 

Great colors...........looks great!

 

Looks great.

 

i love your truck man!

 

man that truck is sweet! i love it

 

Kracker.
truck is looking good man!

 

Alright.... Since i've had spare time on my hands and the painter's been a little busy... I decided to sand smooth and paint the inner fenders and fire wall... Then I had to do under the hood as well. Here's some pics...

 

Well i'm here at the shop gettin ready for my flake. A lot of masking. I'll post some pics after I get it home.

 

SWEET! Should throw some lace on the roof.

 

Here's my Flake. Boy does it look good! I'm stoked!

 

Sweeeeett!!!!!!!!

 

So far... So good. Thought this comparison would be interesting...

 

Looking good.

 

Should be wet sanding the truck tomorrow for the main color. I decided on black since it's free and the funds are running short. I'll be posting pics when it's done.

After I got it home from the flake the radiator sprung a leak. At the top going down a middle row. Is this fixable? I guess i'm asking what's fixable and what's not on a radiator. Thanks.

 

are you going to flake the wheels the same color green? that would be pretty cool. Truck is looking very classy
