I'm jelous of that AlleyCat I need a part time job but i don't think any around here are hiring. Plus I'd probably blow all my pay check on parts :lol:
I just blew the last 3 checks on a 69 F250 highboy. :lol:

BTW, as dumb as that sounds my regular job pays the bills. The junkyard job buys extra stuff that I couldn't otherwise afford.

Re: 70 F100 Project Big Burtha Interior paint and flywheel

Post by FordTruck »

The project is back on! :thup: I ordered a flywheel from rockauto so it should be here by thursday and then friday night the truck goes out to the race car shop to be put on the lift so I can get the flywheel/clutch swapped out hopefully in a saturday :pray: . But til then I changed my door panels and wired up the F600 cluster but changing the door panels hatched my bright idea to paint the interoir black becasue someday the trucks gonna end up being blue.

So heres all I got done before it started raining.

Hopefully by the weekend I'll get to try and drive the new big burtha!!

Re: 70 F100 Project Big Burtha UPDATE 3/06 Daily Driver

Post by FordTruck »

After getting the flywheel and right clutch on the truck I got it all put back together and thrusday evening me and my friend chelsea drove her home :D and I'm still finishing up other little ods and ends but man it feels good to be driving her around!! I still want to swap my F250 CS coil and leaf springs on it and I need to get a gas gauge working then it should be good to drive for awhile. But it'll never be done :lol:

The 4spd is home for good!!!

Probably about the best I've ever seen it look :drive:

Thanks Alleycat it feels good to be driving it around I'm slowly starting to trust it again.

Basketcase I know how you feel if I would have payed closer attention to the flywheels I probably could have been driving it along time ago.
