  • the reason why i dont work on my festiva.

    this is my 66 ford f250





    the front bumper is 6.25in off the ground

    note: the yellow festiva hood in the background9soon to be cowl induction)
    I got this truck 2 years ago for my 16th birthday. Since then i have performed some major modifications.
    - A 3in body drop
    - Front suspension off a 73 suburban for disc brakes and control arms
    - 2in drop springs and 2.5in drop spindles
    - 400cu out of a 71 ford galixie
    - mini tub the rear end
    - B&M floor shifter
    - Ford 9in rear end with 3:73 gears

      My dad sold a ford unibody a few years ago that he got from his dad for $50.00. I nearly collapsed when he told me. He just wanted it out of the way.

        NICE! I love the stance of the truck. That body looks great just how it is. No rust holes, but nice aging. Perfect for the rustorod trend. Just do the mechanicals and leave the body for the most part as is. Plus it saves you 8k in paint work.
        Hey, it would be cool to have a section on here for peoples other rides.

            my plan is to leave the body in that condition which is pretty good because it is from TN. I'm am just doing the mechanical and safety aspects.

              im pretty keen on the "rusty" look, most of my cars had this styling option, but i usually put on rustolium ( yeah thats right, i went deep into my pockets for this aftermarket part) i did it for the aerodynamics and horsepower gain of rustolium
