Hey Jake! I've been following your build over on the HAMB. Always too scared to comment on that forum... Looking forward to seeing this truck finished up. The 60s f100s are really growing on me.

Yea the truck is too OT to keep adding to the tread there now so since I really like the builds and builders on this board I will keep up dating here since I have not found a good Ford site.

They seam to be popping up now and since porter built has a drop member for them and Delmo is building one up also maybe there will be more intrest in them.

Yeah this is a good site, and delmo has become my favorite builder. I almost feel like snagging a uni while they are so cheap. I have a feeling they might be popular in ten years.

Looking forward to the rest of the build. It looks so sweet laid out, and the new wheels were a perfect choice.

Looks great Jake! My first complete paint job was on a '62 uni in that same color. Digging this one for sure.
