    bryant, great job! I love it. I spoke to Boyd, we need some electrical wiring on it and he said it has to be road worthy before he can help me register it. But I think you did the hardest parts already.

    mo likes his 15" wheels on his maverick. the 17"s were just for the open road race. the funny thing is that he said nobody approached him and talked to him about his car with the 17s but always get comments when he has the 15s on.

    I don't see any problem at all.....You will need check valves though if that is mounted lower than the caliper/wheel cylinders to prevent the fluid from bleeding back when the brakes aren't being applied I know it's 2 lb's in one and 10 lb's in the other although i forget which goes where

    I like the side profile. . . gonna try to sit the truck as low as possible though....and use skid plates! :)

    I guess this is an early style ford steering? It seems to work ok once I go over it and tighten everything up.

    these old gas tanks will look great as fuel tanks, Bryant already figured out how we are going to make them function as one...

    don't know where I'm gonna put them yet
