    This one Belongs to my good friend Mel. He has owned it going on 32 years. We started this together in my shop back in 1997, painted main body early 1998. He stops by to give a hand when he can so I helped him do this frame off 1956 Belair 2dr hd top. It is powered by a LT1. So going on 21yrs its finally on the road but need to run a few AC lines then charge system along with final detail. Just another backyard paint it outside job . .Bit at a time. His dream car! Word is NEVER give up . . LOL I do all the time, easy to say.









    This pic was in 2002



    This one in 2011. Getting there but still so far away.

      The one that started it all! Dad's new 1966 F100 early November 1965. I learned to drive in it that fall as a young kid. Yep that's a bear in sled behind a total antique snowmobile

          Still trying to finish truck. Getting close to first start.
          Have set many days when I thought I could get it up and running. Once again hoping by Saturday afternoon. Having to fab/make or modify about every part that goes on taking 10x longer than I think.

          The fuel system was quite the chore. Modified stock tank to work but yet make it appear stock. Fuel log is from a 427 SOHC. Although it appears to be feed line it’s actually the fuel return line in disguise.
