Idea for my next project

So I've had this 54 F100 since I was about 14. I originally had two, but some shady stuff went down and I was left with a littles less than one. Basically I have all the sheetmetal minus bedsides. Both frames gone, but I planned on building a frame from scratch anyway. So I was playing with photoshop just now and came up with this.

If you don't own one of these, or like them a lot you'll probably miss a lot of the modifications.

And I'm not sure on the color, its what the picture had to start with, but I kind of like it. But I do know I want a cream grille, and wheels and likely most of the interior as well, with a green exterior. Just not sure on the shade, maybe some light flake. But I want something understated, that will catch the eye of an Effie owner and pull them in, but appear stock to the average eye.

In the end it will be about 9-10 inches shorter than a stock laid out truck, height wise and 4-5 inches length wise.

I probably will have something on the door too. Either my shop logo or the logo of my dads candy shoppe. And I want to incorporate little stuff from my bike building experience in it. Most of that will be in the interior and engine bay though.

What do you guys think?

i like it man i've always been a fan of those trucks

looks good, my boss is working on a 56

nice. whats up w/ the filler being so low?

lol I was just going to ask that. maybe there is another one on the other side and he is going to use it for exhaust..lol But seriously please run a front bumper, I have built a few of these trucks for customers and the ones without front bumpers always looked like they were missing something. My humble thought is that front roll pans are plain wrong (especially on 67-72 chevy trucks) but again is your thing. I do have a couple of parts trucks, so hit me up if you need some of the small stuff.

Looks cool, & with you doing it,it'll be great!!

I say run with it Seth!!! I love seeing the old trucks and stuff with a modern touch. I wish I still had my old 52 but I'm sure its eating up the asphalt somewhere in OZ.

Thats where the filler is stock. The gas tank was below the rocker stock. It wont be there however, not enough room anymore.

Like what?

Its sectioned. The cab is moved down 5 inches, but the fenders stay in the stock location. Hood stretched, and sectioned the same amount the cab was moved down. The rear fenders are sectioned and shortened. Chop top, shortened wheelbase.
