1956 Ford F-100

What started out as something the would make people cringe when they saw it under construction, ended up being quite the crowd pleaser.  If I were to offer any advice to anyone considering a similar build, it would be,

“Don’t do the chop and section at the same time if you’re not sure of what you’re getting into. It could be very easy to lose your motivation and give up from seeing just the cab in eight separate pieces. Do one evolution. Get it solid. Then do the next.“


In NJ, blue lights are reserved for Firefighters
and you have to have a permit to run one.

I no longer own this vehicle, but some of the images and their descriptions below may help understand why I don’t relate to people who say they don’t have the resources to do something – whatever that something is that they may dream about.

I understand that some people choose to focus on the obstacles in their way instead of the goal. Some people will even continue to throw obstacle after obstacle in their way so they’ll always have a reason not to progress. I’m not going to try to change anybody else (it’s enough work to focus on myself), it’s just that I don’t relate to it ;-) …  It may not happen in the time-frame we’d like, but if you don’t keep at it, it won’t happen at all:
