Seen a 34 ford that was floating around the media with a bbc and twins, cage, and chute. Id love to do a project like this. Very unique and eye catching.

Well guys, its been year, and I'm still rebuilding it SMH. Haha good news is its coming back better than ever.

So far I've finally painted it (was epoxy primer black before), with PPG Ford Black and PPG Matte Clear, It was my first paint project and I did everything in my 2.5 car garage.

Welding In Body Panel Support 1" Square Tube (so low it would ripple body panels when going over bumps)



Sanding Body Work



Shooting Base!



Finished Paint Job.



Came out really well for my first job, and good lord I cannot believe how much work body work is. I had many imperfections I missed, but overall for it being my first time, I was really happy. Considering my 25 gallon compressor failed in the middle of the job and I had to switch to a pankcake which was a nightmare since no way in hell could it keep up.

Also coated interior with Duplicolor Kevlar Bed Liner, looking back I would have done something different texture makes it look like a fiberglass body now. Ohh well live and learn.



All of this work has been completed in the last 6 weeks, I'm rushing thru today to finish getting everthing else back to gether, I'll be taking the car to the Street Rod Nationals in Springfield MO, this weekend!

Wow, just wow! I am actually just starting my BS in computer science. Hopefully I can build a program like you have. I am very interested in what was involved in the making of the relay board, I mean how it receives the bluetooth signal and routes to the relays... newb programmer here... LOL.

Looks like these would work too. Just have to write a simple program to operate them.

I was able to get everything installed and running. However realized I had an oil leak, after 2 weeks of messing with it, ended up being a hair line crack in the block. RIP. Time for a new motor.

From the oil pan surface to the main cap ... another problem and another problem.
