Cosmetic Surgery

[Glass]

First, id like to disclaim...I dont know if i have been watching VH1 too much, or if i have watched the movie 'face off' too many times.

But, I have realized this world dwells big time on appearance...and, i dont have enough money for plastic surgery for my tall white ass.....so i have come up with an idea involving the 2 vehicles below, one being my 79, and the other.....

The guy wants $2000 for the truck, which is a little much, so my plan is to save up $1200, make him a cash offer for it, and if he says no, ill find another one that may need a little more work, but im already going to have a ton of work anyways, so i really dont care.

It looks like with a month or 2 of steady work, some frame shortening, and knocking out everything from the frame down, new suspension, rebuild my diffs, axles, tranny, t-fer case....re-do the hubs....new steering components...that I could be driving a 4x4 1950 Ford F1...

So, whattya think.

Alot of money, alot of work....and it would be all worth it.

sweet idea, does the other truck run?

Go for it.

Sounds like an awesome project.

The other truck has a running flathead V8 in it...which i could probobally put in something else, or sell for cash to build this up....Ill probobally spend the 100 on patch panelf for the bed of my truck, cherry it out, and sell it, long with the rest of the sheet metal of my truck, .... to try n get money for it. This is something that probobally has been done before, but its something that i havent done before, so...I want to do it...Ittl be a few months before i have the money to buy it....But i decided...This is going to happen, ive been thinking abouit doing it for a year now.
