Million Dollars In Parts Later
I absolutely love the content of the guys! Why is it exactly though that the narrator uses that silly, contrived MMA voice affectation to do the intros?
I have a 56 Ford truck f 100
Can’t find rear Alex stop ( rear)
Frame has 2 holes 3 7/8 inch center s thanks
👍👍
The only thing original is the VIN number.
Perfect way to kill a vehicles look put ugly black rims on it
In France y love it the fleap sead the truk is look the beautiful style good cars yeee
Why do people fill in the cowl vents?? It's one of the coolest things on these trucks.
A top chop looks good on some vehicles…but not on 53-56 F-100s. It makes the truck look longer and destroys the proportions. A good example of a stock vehicle that looks like it was flipped over and slammed on it's roof is the newest Camaro. It has ugly proportions.
A lot of trucks like I had sit a long time because of money and equipment. Your shop has the equipment, shop, manpower and money to get the job done. It takes years for individuals to get enough money and find competent bodymen and mechanics.
How many hrs in the body and paint work?
Why not just take your money and buy a new car? I'm a purist why ruin a good thing?
18:05 Pulls up till there is tension on the Scott towel then lifts. Aggressively yanks up on the other towel before any tension and rips the ends off. Yep, he did exactly what the manufacturer of the Scott towels said to do to make their towel look so tough in order to get that sponsorship! I imagine if he lifted the other towel till there was some tension, it would've managed to lift the hub assembly before it tore. Even though the other towel is clearly not as tough as the Scott towel, it was not a fair comparison based on inconsistent test factors.
Please show all shops names for others
😁👍✌👌🖖😎
So much for straight panels lots of bog ha ha
I was excited this build until ya'll put the 6cyl in it that's when I quit watching
tail lights are dumb and should of never lowered it,, and please tell me you didnt shave the door handles

Its like restoring the soul of the vehicle.
A very well put together informative video, you guys got it together . I have the exact same truck. It took 20 yrs to finish on my own. I restored several other cars as well. Keep them coming.
