Customs Historic New England Kustom F-100 found

Good looking effie. How much chop? How much wedge in hood ? You dont see tucked fenders to much anymore.

 

Love the stance that front end looks great. Attitude for sure. Its great to see someones vision in the flesh

 

I remember seeing the Panel truck in Hot Rod around 79 or 80, whatever happened to it?

 

No bags for sure. I don't believe in bags. Lower your car and drive it. It is chopped 4in and the hood is sectioned 3in in the front to 0 in the rear.

The panel was built at the shop he worked at in Ct. The guy that owned it was from Mass, I think. It was on a Corvette chassis. It was in some magazines I think. It was called the Vettetruck.

 

Not really sure, I'll have to do some checking.

 

Very slick old truck. I've always been fond of that model of F100.

I have always thought that vintage datsun grille looked kind of cool. the headlights have a cool tunneled look on those..

 

you gotta go with the original paint !! good luck..nice truck

 

Wicked f'n pissah! Mike I am glad you got it , it is in good hands and I know you will do your Dad proud. I say you go with the original paint as well, painting it in another color or style would be like painting the "Ala Cart" black. Bring it back to your Dads original twisted thoughts!

 

Gentlemen, keep your eyes on this thread.
I was over to the Garage last night to have The Kid do a little work on my truck and he let out a few ideas on what he is going to do with it.
Oh Boy, I can't wait to watch this one come back to life!!

 

Cool for you, and your dad, Look forward to the next photo shoot Thanks for sharing, Slim

 

Good to see someone following in his Dad's footsteps these days. Give us follow up pics.

 

Nice truck, always enjoy reading about family projects being passed to the next generation.

 

Thanks guys for all the kind words about the truck. I am excited about starting to work on it. Not really sure where to begin though. I will keep everyone posted as work begins.

 

awesome story awesome truck!!! good luck!
