Nice collection you have there! ?

 

[PapaRaptor]

Awesome collection!!!!! I did the same with my 2012 SVT Raptor, Its going to be a toy I can keep wrenching on playing with. I want to build an old Mustang some day.

Thanks bud! Collection started 12yrs ago when my sons and I wanted a project...70 Mach 1. Cars are a piss poor investment, but oh the enjoyment!

They are but I paid off my mortgage when I sold my 1970 Plymouth, I think if you find one that is all there ( glass, trim, emblems maybe not #s matching, ) you can build an engine,trans and put big brakes on it have some fun with it. I had 5.0 Mustangs, Cobra Mustangs and a 2011 Shelby GT 500 convertible, so it's time for a Classic Mustang.

Nice collection ?

A '71 Convert Hemi Cuda is worth a penthouse in Manhattan.

How much you want for the Dodge?

Badass! You and I have very similar tastes in both how we optioned our Tremors as well as the rest of the fleet. I love it. Looking forward to seeing yours with the McNeil + glass.

Let's see some pics of the highboy!

I’ll definitely post up pics once things get rolling. Truck should be here by end of month, tires, wheels and glass are on the ground and Carli kit should be here by 1st week of March

77 F150 4x4 is original (including dealer graphic package) except for the lift, thru-fender headers and period correct turbine wheels.

Sick looking headers, is that a 351 or 460?

351M w/ RV cam. We are about to do a rebuild and will be rebuilding as a 400M.

I really wish Ford would recast the 73-79 body. My favorite Ford years 73-77

Same here. How rad would it be if Ford made an aluminum dent side reissue as a body in white

Good years! I’m pretty partial to the 93-97 7.3

Tire comparison...stock vs 38x13.5R18s. Can’t wait to get my Carli Pintop and Fenders slapped on!

NOTE: I ended up selling the fiberglass fenders as I couldn’t bring myself to cut up a new truck. Swapped tires to 37x13.5R18 instead.

In the holding pattern waiting on Carli system. I ordered in Dec and was told 12 weeks?

Once Carli package is delivered I’ll drop the truck off at TMX for the full makeover.

NOTE: ended up cancelling TMX order and sourced all Carli parts directly from
CJC. Installation was done by Dana and her team at Woodlands Performance Suspension (WPS) in The Woodlands, TX. Top notch

Hopefully won't be much longer! I can't wait to see it finished.

I am wanting to add these similar lights. (Rigid ‘Flush Mount’ SR-Q Pro Midnights in rear bumper).
Can you please give details on how to run wiring and what mods to wires you did to hook up to Upfitter. Also did you run wire in anything or exposed. I appreciate the help. I'd like to install myself vs pay an additional $250 for install which I have been quoted.
