Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Is this truck already done? And every couple days you post some pictures making us think you're just blazing through this build?

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

The pics I just posted are from sat and Sunday.Some times I will work on it after work for a few hours.

I wish it was built already so I could enjoy it my goal was to have it done by the end of sept but don't think it's going to happen I told my self 2 years should be enough time but it keeps evolving and more gets added to the list.2 years should be the middle of October.

Mine is the same way. We thought it would be a quick 6 month, slap it together build, but we're already at almost a year and a half. Now it's evolved into a full build. You're definitely a lot quicker and closer than we are though.

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Got the drivers side spotted back in.I did not feel like pushing it out side lol.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

And the drivers step.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Fixed the rust and made my own ends on the rear bed mount and made some compressor mounts.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Everything in its place.

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Looks great!

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Thank you.

Jake

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Man you are really knocking that thing out, looks great.

I've been reading a lot about plasti dip and I'm considering doing mine in that. I was just going to reprime it because its looking a little crappy lol, and I wont be painting it for quite some time anyway. Saw the plasti dip, its fairly inexpensive way to get a decent looking protective coating that should last until we decide to paint it (if ever lol).

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
 

Thanks,I am trying lol I went and checked on my motor yesterday I mean they have only had it for 4 months ha I need to get it in so I can plumb and run lines ect befor I can finish up the bed floor ect.

I have a friend that bought a truck that had plasti dip on it took 4 of us all day trying to get that stuff off so he could do some body work and ended up priming it white.i would suggest priming it a color because if you prime it you don't need to be a painter it's easy even with a gun and its just primer you can always sand it off.Good luck with what ever you do.

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
