Do I do it or not?

**X-Runner** · 02-05-2009, 11:27 PM

Im really considering selling my other projects for something new. A 1953 F-100 to be exact. Not sure if I want to yet or not but I like the body style of the truck. What do you think IA?

The truck

What it could be.

I love the look, just make sure you are prepared for the vastness of the project.

**X-Runner** · 02-05-2009, 11:34 PM

Oh Im ready for that. I know there will be lots and lots of replacing rusty metal etc.

**Revmaynard** · 02-05-2009, 11:36 PM

Get on yo Mopar first! Lol Mopar or no car!

**sexytime** · 02-05-2009, 11:45 PM

Would be a "do things as money allows" type project. It would be hard but I really like this body style truck too so thats why Im not sure

**Revmaynard** · 02-06-2009, 12:05 AM

Imo it's easier to work on something you already have even if you sell it when you're done. lol

$100 for that or $1000+ for another rusty truck

I think you will be hard pressed to find one that isnt rusted for a decent price.

I have this too, its sitting in my yard as well as the Mopar

**Revmaynard** · 02-06-2009, 12:25 AM

Buy that and hold onto it. lol You know what I say first! Put a nice stout 440 in yer A body and roll out.

**X-Runner** · 02-06-2009, 12:27 AM

See above post lol. Highly doubt I will ever do anything with the Barracuda honestly.

**Revmaynard** · 02-06-2009, 12:28 AM

**X-Runner** · 02-06-2009, 12:30 AM

You buy it and give it the love the classic car deserves

**Revmaynard** · 02-06-2009, 12:33 AM

Done that once already, not my time to do it again......yet.

If I made the money to do that car right (body work and such) I would have it. My dad had a 69 numbers matching 440 that would check out, as well as a 65 with a slant six he drove daily for YEARS. Not as desirable to people, but it's something I hold memories with. lol

i say u should do it man, it looks nice when its fixed up, meanwhile, primer it down and get some rims

**redrumracer** · 02-06-2009, 02:32 AM

well if you have a muscle car then ditch that rust bucket and work on it. a nicely redone dodge is better than any ford anyday.

well hell thin air is better than ford
chevy ftw

**antiv6** · 02-06-2009, 06:30 AM

if you think you can restore something like that go for it. Those trucks are awesome

It has probably the same amount of rust as the truck...
