Big progress on the 57' f100. Next step is to prime the cab and build the rear suspension.

468 hp from our 347 stroker.

She's all buttoned up and ready to be placed in it's home. The fastback will be getting some work done to accommodate the upgrade in power too.

54' ford f100 exhaust update.

Doing a great exhaust with v-band couplers for easy service and removal if ever needed. Full custom pie cut and fitted pipe. Gearing up for a rear center exit out of the bumper. That requires some modifications to the rear bumper fitment first.

What's next?

Wheels and tires are on and give the car a completely different feel. A little more upscale than the old wheels. I'm thinking maybe some interior upgrades next? Steering wheel, proper seats and maybe a carpet kit too.

Just a little truck update.

Got the front end installed, short bed installed and now working on the door gaps before full metal work happens. Waiting to find a good transmission to use. I got my new .gems transmission adapter for the Mercedes engine to ford transmission.

Slowly getting there.

When the Z is cheaper to insure than the Acura...

No really... An Acura Integra is more to insure, what is this world coming to. 🫠😵‍💫

Haha, I'm proud to say my Z is no longer stock.

I am completely in love with this car and how it handles now. All the bushings were completely shot and needed replaced. I went with coilovers and am beyond happy with them. And poly bushings. Together they are a dream team.

Next on the list will have to be wheels and tires.

Leave a wheel and tire recommendation to help out.

Good choices were made...

More parts were brought home. I'll have a half grey and half white Z now. What you don't see are the two other cars also drug home.

Over a year and several hours of work it's crazy how much something can change.

You could say it's a transformation.. 63' f100

Door update.. due to weather I haven't had lots of opportunities to work on them but finally got the chance to lay some primer down. Time to wet sand them flat then spray some color.

Got some good ol door fixin coming along. Gotta make them straight and rust free. Sandblasted them yesterday and today is metal work day..
