The gold rims look great! Especially with the green paint. If you want to repaint later I suggest the same pretty green the truck is now.

If I wasn't painting mine with rattle cans I would paint Frank the same color.

The grille/bumper are hideous and need to be thrown away. Send them to my house and I will dispose of them properly for you.:p

The rear bump is decent and is going on the black truck. I’ll order a new roll pan for this one (race truck/weight reduction.) The front bumper isn’t very nice and will eventually get replaced....

Nice platform to build! Jealous cuz $500 ain’t buying anything close to rust free where I’m from non running or whatever. Gold wheels do look good especially with polished up trim rings and center caps.

I’ve had like 30 mustangs (I love em), but decided to take a break from them for a while... I had a bunch of random parts that have been eating up shop space, so I tossed them up on the local mustang forum for sale or trade. None were big money parts, and almost listed them for free but you have to take everything, but decided to list them for cheap or trade. So far I sold one part for 20 bucks (hey, that’s free money for truck parts, and trade a few others for some gauges (afr, oil pressure, temp) and some random gauge pods (1 for sn95 mustang, one for civic eg.) hopefully I can get 10 bucks each out of the pods. Lol

Now I need a tach, speedo, and voltage gauge. Trying to get all the small parts while I’m waiting on the perfect engine to pop up (low mileage 6.0) lol

Me and the oldest boy got the bed pulled off. The lighting in the garage sucks, I've been meaning to pick up some new led shop lights, but somehow I never do... I just keep dragging around my trusty ol construction light thingiy. I was hoping to get the rear bumper off to, but it was dinner time, and I'm fat so....
Need to decided if I'm going to run the stock tank or switch to a fuel cell.... was going to run the stock tank, but I'm starting to lean towards a fuel cell....
I got to run it by an inspection station to get an id/od so I can mail off the title (something you have to do in Missouri with out of state titles.) While it's on the trailer, I'll swing by the car wash and blast the engine bay and frame the best I can (I picked up some purple power to be soak them. Hoping to get the frame painted Sunday or Monday. I'm not going for prefect, but while I have easier access might as well make it look a little better....

If it's going to be street driven, I'd stick with a stock tank. A proper fuel cell has a metal case and a rubber bladder, and you're supposed to remove and inspect the bladder once a year. The bladder is supposed to be replaced every five years. The plastic circle track fuel cells don't have that requirement, but aren't as durable and typically don't have any certifications. Expect them to last about five years. The stock tanks aren't sexy, but just work good, so long as you swap up to a Vortec fuel pump.
