Yeah I definitely gives the truck a way better look now that the tires are where they're supposed to be. I started mocking up the engine tonight. I'm not quite making sense of the motor mounts that came with this kit. Also the oil pan is coming in contact with the rack. So we are switching over to a fox body chassis oil pan with the small front sump and the rear bigger sump. The engine is sitting in it and it looks pretty good it's just not 100% perfect

Got the new fox body style pan and pick up. Truck on its own weight, motor is mounted. We are changing trans from a c4 to a 4r70w, so I will built a bolt on mount for that after it's back from powder coat.
Looks better with an altitude adjustment!!

Making excited for working on my 50! Oops, I havnt mentioned that on here yet!!

A tad low to drive around here but it sure looks good! Neat how those factory Mustang headers fit like they are made for it.

It will be picked up, I like it that low but also probably too low for easy cruising hahaha. Yeah the headers fit good! Not sure that's what he is running yet or not
 
A recently late friend of mine had a 53 with a LT 350 in it. It sat low like that, he really had to watch speed bumps or it would drag. He wrecked it not long before he passed away, his son is supposedly rebuilding it.

Cool to hear his boy is going to rebuild it!!
 
Looks good to me! Thats the thing with coil overs, you can always change the ride height with some simple adjustments...

Yeah it was sitting about perfect until I put the engine in it LOL. Just going to tighten them up a little bit and we should be good. I did lower the back to try and match the front but they have super cheap coilovers in the back. Pretty sure they're the same ones I had on my gasser. Way too much spring
 
Yeah, well built stuff

Motor mounts are done. Rear control arm gussets are done. Frame trimmed and capped. Also played with bringing back the paint

There ya go, shinin' up old paint jobs again :D[cl
Last week I saw a Bronco with the exact same color and graphics as Berta - thought it was you for a sec, tried to get a pic but he took an off ramp and got away - it even had almost the same weathered patina...[P

Hahahaha, I just can't help myself.

Dang, wish you could have gotten a pic! That would have been cool to see!
