I think it looks killer just the way it is!

well, maybe some headlights...

thanks to you also. headlights are overrated lol jk

well I have done a little bit of pant work just to get rid of that awful red, and taken it back to the factory green with distressing to make it match the driver side. Kinda stuck on what to do to it at the moment. The frame thats underneath it is pretty hacked, so i bought another truck that is basically trashed on the outside but I could swap the frame on. Other option is just scratch build a frame with a mustang II front and bagged. Im still up in the air on having it bagged because of past bad experiences, but I have a friend that I trust to do it right and he does good quality work. So who knows at this point

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59

I know what you mean too, time is really hard to come by and when I have a moment it is looking at someone elses project that I am taking on to finish or do another step of the build, some of my own projects have sat for a year to 5 years ubtouched while I would just make money on other builds and buy parts for mine when I can get to it. that is why after owning over 120 hotrods of all types in my life (52 years old now) that I am finally just gettin tired and keeping this one and "if" I ever get the urge will buy another project like you and get to it when I can. That why they are called projects right.

Yea man its tough, I prefer to build stuff by using money made off of other peoples projects. Its tough working a reg 4-60 hr week and finding time to do someone elses project much less my own. But this one will have to stay on the back burner for a lil while until ive gotten my 59 ford mild custom done. If I didn't have too much done to it I would build this one quick but I have too much time and money invested to stop now
