Well, I thought I had a build up on this already started but, I could not find it.

Anyways, Jason is an old customer of ours, he bought his Sport Trac new, and we bagged it in 2001, a few years later he wanted to body it, and he thought he would save a few dollars by taking it to another local spot, it was conventionally cut there, and he drove it around for a little bit until he desided to put a 302, Suicide the doors, and build a back half.

Fast forward to 2010, and Jason hadn't driven his truck in well over 3 years, instead of giving up, he picked up the pieces of what was left of the truck at the other shop, and brought it to us.

We never thought that wed still be working on it 9 months later, but when we really dug into the truck, the best thing to do was build a 3/4 chassis, cut the floor and firewall out, and build everything new so he could have his head room back.

He decided he wanted some 22" Raceline Deceptives too.
