| Notes: |
Bought the truck in July of 2010 in Vermont. Was a North Carolina truck until the previous owner bought it and drove it north in May of 2010.
Bought it because I needed a truck for working on the house, but wanted something interesting at the same time. When I was 16 I totaled my fathers F100 2wd. When I saw this one with the same color exterior and interior I knew there was no other choice than to get it. |

And this is why its called "Project Snowball".
Due to the installation of the firewall brace, the updating of the electrical and ignition components, and the bit of rust swiss-cheese found on the floor-pan, I am now playing a game of "how far in over my head can I get".
The interior is being removed, completely to make the access to the electrical and firewall brace easier. Along with that it made sense to:
Paint floorpan with POR 15 and POR Fiberglass over small holes
Fat-Mat Rattle-Trap (Dynamat) interior
Restore plastic with SEM Color Coat in Med-Gray
Replace Auto Trans colum with floor-shift
Replace Carpet
Install power ports
Replace CD radio with Knob style head unit
Better integrate A/C controls
Dual coil center speaker (front channels)
Replace 80-81 1/2 slide locks with push button locks that work
