Low budget Garage build "Ted"
I've been reading this forum for a while now. I've been working on my pick up even longer. I think I might have figured out the hardest part of the build.....posting pictures haha. I hope this works!!
The last time I drove this little guy was '99. It was parked in the barn sense then. I am a total restore rookie with "some" mechanical sence. It has been a lot of fun to see it come together. My little girl for some reason named him "Ted". I have know idea where she came up with that. Anyway, hope this turns out ok. Last edited by stevenfromtexas; 07-16-2017 at 11:53 PM. Reason: rotated picture |

Re: Low budget Garage build "Ted"

Re: Low budget Garage build "Ted"
Looks like a great project, but in the title it says low budget and it is down to the frame Good to see the kiddo out there helping you out.
As for the pics, when you take cell phone pics turn your phone to the left where the volume button points towards the ground, perfect every time.
