    Hello all New to forum thinking seriously about building 35 truck

    Thanks for letting me join.
    I'm located in Florida panhandle, Former Ford Sr. Master Tech, current ASE Master Tech & in my 20th year teaching Automotive at Technical college. Spent 20 + years building and drag racing and rebuilding a fox body mustang mostly heads-up class drag radial stuff.
    Current toys are a 1969 Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet Mustang and a 2022 Shelby Gt500
    I'm here searching information and ideas on builds, particularly the hot rod 35 truck, I want / need something else to build and keep busy.

    Thanks,
    GP

    I completed a 35 Hot Rod Truck a couple years ago. It was an interesting build. The extended cab version, now standard, came out after mine was built. Limited interior space was the biggest issue for me. There's a build thread in my sig line below. I documented my build pretty thoroughly.
