"Phord" 1964 Ford F100
Hacked off the front and welded on a....wait for it...."oh no you didn't"...Chevy Nova Subframe. Chevy 350/350 combo, disc brakes, power steering, tilt column out of a "oh my god again?" Chevy van. Some cool duals shootin out just behind the doors!
Was white...then flat black....got a wild hair and slapped on some black epoxy with a brush, mixed up some Hugger Orange with a little black and used a roller to apply. Then followed up with some flat rattle can white and black. Got a big pile of wet sand paper and sanded it all down, followed by 3M red pads. Kinda wanted to see if i could re-create that "found it in a field look". May have gone a little overboard but I like it. Gets some double takes when I roll by and of course the usual question..."when ya gonna paint it?"
Up next....Red Metal Flake Roof....
Let's see....repainted some of it white, some has the original "patina"....added two rusty bottle openers, I know it's kinda over done but no true blue ratty rod wouldn't be caught dead without that accessory. Tossed on a Mexican Blanket for the bench, Red Flake wheel, Mermaid gear selector, an old timer Tach on the dash, and drum roll please.....rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....a Tiki interior light!
