When your NOT working on a Jeep what are you working on?

[msmoorenburg]

So since the Dark side project is on hold till the lift kit, painter, other goodie show up. Here is what i've been doing with a buddy's truck


Its a 73 Ford F100 with a Crown Vic sub frame swap. He inherited this truck in gibbets. It was disassembled 13 years ago and stored on a back porch.

Enjoy

So it appears we are going to relocate the sub-frame about 1.5~2 inch back it looks too far forward to us

The donor truck showed up so it will be getting a triton 5.4 with all the trimmings.

Very cool. I wish I still had my '71 F-100 Sport Custom. Got totaled by dumb woman who pulled out in front of me on the hwy.

Aw, ya beat me to it Matt. I was gonna start one just like this.

Been doing a little up keep on my grandpas old '94 silverado. Just washed, waxed, polished chrome, lubed rubber and plastic on the exterior and tried some clear coat on the tail lights (really faded, it helped a little but not much). That is all for now.

Its a rubbing compound made by 3m. Works great but sure is pricy. Only place I've ever found it was at auto paint stores. Last bottle I bought was over $40
