Here is our '54 Ford F-100:
It has a '73 LTD front clip, all metal tilt front end, '63 T-Bird engine and tranny, '70 Granada 8" rear end, shaved door handles, vent windows eliminated, frenched '63 Galaxie tail lights, frenched antenna, chopped 4", '85 Tempo tilt steering column, tilt/swivel bases on Tempo bucket seats, bear claw door latches, hand formed aluminum console, hand formed tail gate, roll pan, LED third brake light molded into back of cab, We fabricated a power brake unit from a Mazda/Torino combination and mounted it under the floor, like the original unit, except it's power, power cowl vent. We also fabricated liners for the fenders to eliminate the possibility of rock dings. The dash was shaved and filled with lead, hand made aluminum instrument cluster. The firewall was also straightened and all filler used was lead. All the brake lines, fuel lines etc. that were visible were polished and look like chrome. We used lexan for the windshield after attempting to cut 5 glass windshields ( now I wonder why I wanted glass so bad). Most of the fabricating and finish body work was completed by Dennis Graff, presently employed by Masterpiece Rodding in Denver.
Here are some photos of our son's '67 Ford F-100:
This '67 started life with a 352 CID V-8 with a 2bbl. Our son rebuilt a 410 CID Mercury. This engine developes over 400HP and likes to EAT anything with BOWTIES!!!
Here is a photo of a '49 Merc that belongs to a friend of ours in Box Elder, Montana. This car is heavily customized and is beautifully done. Chopped, slammed, and shaved. That's the name of the game. This car was also completed by Dennis Graff.
