More destruction...

I managed to pull an hour or so for garage time last night... Still gotta get the other side off and clean up my mess...


What do you guys think these sides are worth? They need some bodywork, but they are 100% RUST FREE!

In the past 30 years about 90% of Fords are still on the road, the other 10% made it home.

Actually, most guys would say I am on crack for my bedside delima... When the chassis shop welded the doors up, they warped the sides up a bit. I am no body man, and I hate using excess filler, so I opted for new bedsides. If you get the proper years, you can get them with no gas door on EITHER side, so it's my interesting way of shaving gas doors.... Yea, I'm probably on crack, I know. LOL

Anyhow, the story on my ride in a nutshell:
It'll be a show truck
It'll be a brand new truck
It'll be a street legal and street driven truck
It'll have a 406 sbc TH400 combo
It'll have a T76 turbo on blowthrough
It's already been caged and minitubbed.

Oh yea, the fiance and I hit the garage tonight also, got the other side off, front panel off, base unbolted, and I started smoothing the welds on the base where we moved the fenderwells in.
