AIRBRUSH This company truck

This is my project truck that I would like to show its progress over the years.

I wanted something to show what Airbrush This is about and also something to take to car & truck shows. The little red Ford started as a 2 wheel drive, then it got lifted 9" and is 4 wheel drive now. Then it was lifted again to 12" and new 4 wheel drive system. And then it was taken to the paint booth for a new paint job!

The body work took 30 days and the actual airbrushed paint job took 15 days to complete. It was well worth it though! I wanted something that would show my attention to detail. The door jambs, ceiling and even inside the gas cap lids are painted. Detail is the key word!

Well, my new project. This is the truck ready to be transported to the shop of Harold Keiser for a nice little 351 V-8 to be dropped in. Just a little thank you time to Harold. He is the master of Ford vehicles. He did an amazing job of taking out a fuel-injected 300 straight 6 to a carbureted 351 V-8. It is not an easy job to do the swap out and he had a major project on this truck. Thank you again Harold, I am still amazed!

Tailgate . . . Even the roof in the cab is painted.

Since then, the truck has been on the Daytona Speedway, in parades carrying parents and there children and even parked next to my favorite (the General Lee) at the 75 Chrome Shop Cruise In 2001. But don't think this truck doesn't get used, it is driven daily. I can honestly say "Built Ford Tough" !!!!!

Pictures from the 2004 Christmas Parade along with my good friends Rick and Deb with the Gator"scale" Jeep. We also drove in the Ocala night parade in which we both put christmas lights around both vehicles. Good times!

The truck doesn't see much mud since it was painted, but as long as it can launch and pull my boat out, I am happy!
