New here 1963 F100 rat rod build

Post by 1fordnutt »

I picked up this all original 2 owner 63 Wrongbed and I'm making it a rat rod. 6 cyl 3 on the tree. Real patina weathered paint. Everything works except the speedo. Enough talk on to the pics :lol:

Bring it home.....

All I've done is paint the wheels and white walls. Lowered it 4" and took off that old school brush guard....
