Bigrick31's Sick New Project

elderado, as of now i have a 72 f100, but im lookin to sell it and buy a VW bug. pre 68 i believe. not a super, i need a standard to do what I want. do a dropped axle up front, stretch the pan a bit, chop the top, make a coupster out of it.
my dad has an older bug i beleive its a 54. convertable. he just put a new motor in it. but i think hes in it for restore.

 
o yea and i just hooked up my wiring harness in the nissan. just gotta splice a few wires that broke off. and i also put 4 more ports in my air tank so i can mount my valves straight to the tank. after i finish splicing the wires i cna start the truck again and hope it still runs.

 
is your bed welded shut? i am thinking i will put mine in the color primer i want the final paint to be when i can tear it down and all, I want to clean the motor REAL good, and frame REAL good and just drop it a good bit for now. I can do a axle flip and get 5-6 out back and figure if i want to do beams up front or something, I really dont want to buy new ones lol

 
rick, im getting a two car garage woohoooooo dads giving it up!
Sick! yea my bed is all welded up minus the tailgate/roll pan skin i want we also put seam sealer on it. now i just either need undercoat or spray in bed liner and it will be looking really clean. if i can find my soulder gun i can get it to run again then i just have to weld up the battery tray re locate the air tank brackets and weld in my new firewall tubs.
