Re: restoration frame off?
Please explain "real cars " for me.
I am not clear on what you meen by this statement.
Are you infering that SYTY's are not real ?
Or that the cars your brothers build are alot better than our trucks?
I just want to understand what your saying.
I have to say that your ambition is refreshing and I always encourage people to try something that interests them,
That said the market is week for these trucks for some reason and owning one is more a labor of love than an investment. What could it hurt? If you do all this work and finish up with it at the very least you will have a very nice truck that is fun to drive and in my opinion looks badass.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Re: restoration frame off?
You asked for advice and you got it.
What is your motivation to do this? Money? If so, just sell the truck right now, stock... Save yourself a tonne.
You need a passion for these trucks or you're going to be disappointed.

Re: restoration frame off?
Very nice on the cars!
Two of my favorites.
David from what I have read and found by him answering my questions in the past is a very,very knowledgable guy. Not only in the SYTY circle. He has been nothing but helpful to me and countless others here. I am still a noob and have been here for a few years and trying to learn all the time. It seems this list does see its share of hot dog new guys that may start out with the best intentions only to end up like David describes. I am not saying this applies to you or your truck. I am only stating what I have seen. I am sure as your project progresses you will need some answers or help and more than likely Quatrajet will be of great help. Just sayin!
Keep us posted.
P.S.
I want John Forces mechanic to build my next motor!

Re: restoration frame off?
3k for a good paint job, 2k for a new motor, and then add all the other crap to finish off your "restoration", so at the very least your into it $6,000 plus the tons of hours involved. Unless you paid $1500 for the truck, your not going to make any money.

Re: restoration frame off?
You're dumber than a box of rocks. There's an art to reading. Words, and combination of words, have meaning. I suggest you hang around long enough to learn what people here do and don't do, before jumping to conclusions, and people ignore you. You're going to NEED help from people that know THESE trucks. These are NOT GN's or BBC's.
I often write my posts in Third Person, Present Tense, particularly when writing about myself. I'm not a narcissist. So I don't talk too much about what I can and can't do. I just get it done. Hint: I don't use John Force's mechanic, or anyone else, for anything.
OK. I'm done. Good Luck, and Good Night.

Re: restoration frame off?
My suggestion is to go back and re-read post #12 there is alot of good info in that post!!!!
The more time you spend on here and searching you come to the realization that these trucks are a real PITA!!!!
Ask me how I know I owned mine for two weeks and blew it up:rant: Figured I would be down for a few months and took me a year to get it back running. My goal is to keep it reliable and ENJOY it!!!!

Re: restoration frame off?
This is such damn good advice that all noobs should be required to read, memorize and recite 10x before being allowed to post. With all respect to the OP, your thoughts are helter-skelter. Rims? Restorations? I like your enthusiasm, but take it step-by-step. Putting a truck on stands is the fastest way to lose interest on a project.
On the other hand...the best prices/deals come from the dreamers that have mothballed their trucks. Dave, let him be! :rotf:
