1966 F100 Build-PROJECT DISRUPTIVE

Once the wheels were prepped with a red scotch bright I needed to figure a way to paint both sides. I saw on the inter-webs that a guy painted wheels on a long board.  He was able to get both sides. The front wheels are 7" and the rears are 8" .  I got an 8 ' deck board and cut it in half.  I took 2x4 pieces and made the deck board 6 1/2" wide   The 2x4's actually provided extra height so the rims would not hit anything.   So now,  what do you do after they are painted?   I opted (after looking at hanging them with wire etc) to take two pieces of plastic pvc and make two rails on two cement blocks. The two small "rub" areas will be on the back lip anyway. I propped up the middle just in case! Checking to see how it would roll.... Took some automotive wax and degreaser and cleaned off any dust from the scotchbrite.  Painting the wheels in a 55 degree garage was going to be fun.  I took all my sp...

I saw many posts about insulation and what guys were using. I opted for the peel- n seal from Lowes and the foil style bubble wrap. The truck cab was covered first with peel-n-seal then 3M glue applied and bubble wrap applied. The Doors also were cleaned and a large square of peel-n-seal was applied.      

I am just now posting this info about how I turned my garage into a paint booth. Just a word of caution...If you have a gas water heater or any open flame in your garage you may want to reconsider this option.  I found an explosion proof tubeaxial fan on Craigslist for $120.00 I divided my garage in half so I can paint then have a clean area to park my parts that I painted,  The first task was to build a filter box to house my exhaust filters. This filter box sat in the rear of the booth and next to the 36" exit door.  The fan was mounted higher on the box as you can see. The box had mesh screen behind the front filters that heald then in place. The exhaust filters did a nice job of filtering the heavy particles.   I bought a donor door to fill the opening. Then I cut the 18" hole in the door for the exhaust. When I was done I replaced the original door.    The garage was cut in half and I created a plastic doo...

Project Disruptive by its' name, causes on to believe that we do not fit the mold.  Yes, going the shiny 20x12 Torque Thrusts may be tempting we are opting for the more traditional route. Looking at F100's on the inter-webs I found a truck to model after.  It uses stock Ford wheels and 57 Ford Fairlane Wagon Hub Caps, Dog dish, poverty cap, whatever you call them.

Looking at some F100 Jag IFS posts and other F100 forums I decided to go with the Wheel Vintique series 62 - 15x7's up front with the standard 4 1/2 BS and the 15x8's with I believe the standard 4" backspace   They all arrived shipped for around $430.00. Now on to test fitting before painting. Very ...

So I made a trip to Dennis Carpenter and got a table load of chrome and rubber goodies. I got hood chrome, door knobs, headlight rings,  window fuzzies, etc More installed goodies to follow.
