Re: Bob's Retirement Build - My '55 TF

I was going to lay out the build chronologically, but I guess I can let you in on some of the details. In a nutshell, it's going to be a casual hot rod. My wife actually bought the truck, and it's hers. It has a fatman front end, '69 Nova 4:11 posi, shaved firewall, 4-wheel power discs, 700R4, clipster/Patroit headers, stainless Pypes exhaust, 383 stroker (ported, balanced, 1.5/1.6 rockers, Comp Extreme Energy cam, the usual stuff). 11-speaker sound system (JL, Polk, etc.) with equalizer/center channel, DVD and rear view camera. Vintage Air. Fair bunch of fiberglass work inside. Been lowered about 8", I guess. As I tell people who see the truck for the first time, it doesn't have a lot of truck parts.

It also has 2003 Astro van buckets, C5 Vette taillights, frenched antenna, shaved drip rails, Mustang gas tank, American Auto Wire, but nothing too exotic. The interior looks too much like Ogre's (place Ogre smiley face here), but it's at least a little different. When I get a few minutes I'll continue the saga...
