Re: Project 56 F100
Some of those 5 minute jobs that take at least 4 hours are being encountered on a daily basis, therefore things are slow.
Here is the AC connected and pressurised

I repositioned the AC receiver drier behind the grill to make the engine bay look a little tidier.



Now it’s starting to look real pretty.


I’m just not convinced with this bumper bar, I would like to try a more luxurious bumper bar like off a later model of maybe a customline, it’s got to be wide enough. Bit like the ring bro’s 56 bumper.

So it’s back to the grind! Having fun.

Re: Project 56 F100
Looking good there , but i'm curious if you had any difficulties fitting the front panels together ?
The hood latch panel that runs across the front is supposed to be on top of the front fenders , well both mine were .

Re: Project 56 F100
That looks fantastic. I someone wasn't familiar with F100's they wouldn't know it didn't come that way.
