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.

Re: 61 Ford unibody project

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

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).

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.
