My F100's First Show Down Low
Yeah, the updates have really slowed down. Other than getting the painted frame and seats back into the truck I've not made any more progress to date.
Despite not having down as much to the interior or engine bay as I'd hoped by now, I took the truck along to the Geelong All Ford Day on the weekend to get it out of the shed for a change. It was a huge day, heaps of cars and lots of spectators, though disappointingly for me, a real lack of trucks on show.
My truck was on display smack bang in the middle of the FordForums.com.au area, and while surrounded by plenty of other impressive machinery, did garner its fair share of attention. As always, the paint scheme was a curiosity, with punters labeling it everything from 'snake skin' to 'granite effect' and many giving it the usual finger to see if it had any texture. The stance was also well received, along with the Boze wheels and the Kaval pewter shift knob I mentioned in my last entry.
This has given me renewed enthusiasm to get stuck into it, and get some more work finished on it. Thanks to Jason, Tray, Dazz, Suvo and Scott for the great pics.
