1961 Ford F-100

The story

Just bought it on Ebay of all places. It's definitely a diamond in the rough

My original plan was to do a complete restoration, however, given the condition, and the mixup with the model and year (they listed it as a '61 250 as it has f-250 emblems on the side, however, the plate in the glovebox says it's a '61 f-100, and the grill is from a '62...very annoying), I plan to rod this badboy out.

So the plan is to restore the body, and drop something like a 427 into the engine bay, while completely customizing the interior (we'll see).

The only issue atm is a nice garage to call my own :-\ · Stephen Aiken
