FIRST DRIVE & FINISHING TOUCHES! CHEAP BUDGET F100 CROWN VIC SWAP!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 вер 2023
- Next project on the channel that is really exciting for us, 1959 Ford F100 Long bed and 2010 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor chassis swap. In this video, it is a compilation of multiple 30 minutes a day videos of finishing touches knocking out the nitty gritty tasks that round out a shop truck build. We end this series with our first drive. This series of videos will highlight how to do this conversion as simple and cost effective as possible. We are shooting for $2000 initial budget to have a running driving shop truck. In the future, we will make improvements after we enjoy it for awhile. Also, you know me, this is staying patina!

This is one of my favorite truck conversions on UA-cam. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if you posted more rolling videos, I like seeing this truck moving down the road. Metal fabricator for 30+ yrs, you're giving me a lot of inspiration, I've always wanted to do something like this. Your vids are a big help and make me think about stuff I didn't think about before.
Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate you following along!
Drive the heck out of that thing! Sweet❤
Thank you! I'm planning on it!
Like that patina , cool ride 4 sure , need to take it on Hot Rod power tour 👍👍😬😬😬😬
I was thinking about it!
Hey brother, I’m Glen from a little North of Houston.
Just wanted ya to know I have very much enjoyed watching your progress with this build.
My dad was a machanic from WW2 on, and had two auto repair shops when I was a kid.
He had an old 59 Ford pickup sitting in the back of the shop for years, well long enough for a tree to grow up through the engine compartment.
Anyhow long story long, he put a 440 Chrysler engine in her, and painted her a bright gold.
I loved that truck, but he sold it so we could take a vacation when I was 13.
I was thinking about exactly what you are doing, and found your channel on UA-cam.
That's a really cool story, sounds like you need to build one just like it! Thank you for following along!
This is my favorite patina truck. You did such a great job on it man! Killer!
Thank you very much!
You can’t build a rig without boopin! ❤😂
😂
really nice and smooth ride, she looks great, all details fit in... Congratulations...
Thank you!!
The truck turned out amazing. The seat is perfection!!!
I'm happy with it! Just wait till you see the finished interior in the next video! Thank you for the support!
Wow. What a nice rig! Great job!
Seat fits like a glove.
I was surprised how well it fit too! Thank you!
I have ocd, when I look at your bed and see that hump in the middle my brain goes that should be flat, make it flat!😂😂 surly there's away to make it as it was or atleast resemble what it looked like 😂. But nonetheless I have been hooked great project cool truck I love it
Thank you! It could be made flat and full depth, but not with my strict budget. Or it can be made flat but only as deep as the highest section which makes it almost useless. This was my attempt at a compromise! Thank you for following along!
@@BestDamnShopAround yeah I totally understand, we can't all be bill gates... 😂😂 some of us gotta be normal haha, but yeah man props to you 👏 the car looks mint 👌 it doesn't look weird, it doesn't look like the bed has been shorten it looks awesome man keep it up👍
@@levelzyung7454 i appreciate the compliment and support!
In the computer world green is ground. I didn’t think anything of it. “If you can’t figure that out…. We’re all in trouble!” No joke right! Haha
I had no idea! But I also have no business messing with computers haha
@@BestDamnShopAround LOL, you sound like my brother! That “Victory lap” aka first drive was epic. Such a cool ride!
@@troysgarage victory lap is so accurate! Lol I'm going to use that!
Your crimping on the ring terminal is correct. Split goes to rounded area of the crimper, non split goes to the point to "push" the metal into the wire.
It's the little things people overlook!!
Nice vid!!! 👍👍
Really enjoyed watching this truck come together over the last few months.🙂
Thank you for following along!
@@BestDamnShopAround 😊
Love the build. Cant wait to win it when u give it away!
Hopefully one day the channel will be big enough for give aways!
beautiful!
Thank you!
I was taught to crimp the way you showed. I usually use uninsulated connectors and use heat shrink looks cleaner.
Glad I'm not crazy! 😂 Agreed, heat shrink definitely looks cleaner, didn't have any uninsulated ones and this being hidden I let it slide!
Sweet truck 👍
I appreciate it!
Awesome build. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for tuning in!
Love it. Awesome
Thank you!
If you decide against the rag, a fuel cap would make a good seal to hide a hard wired battery maintainer port.
Good call!
you need to start selling builds or offering services to do this for folks. ive seen plenty do this and looked at 3 builds to buy. def would buy one of yours.
I appreciate it! I usually sell my builds after I've enjoyed them for awhile. Problem is I end up with more time in them than other people so I have to charge more. Few people can tell the difference in quality.
Man, I need that as my daily!
It's going to be a fun one!
Sweet truck. Have a link or description for the glass conversion headlights?

Thank you! Here's a link, hopefully it works!
@BestDamnShopAround
Link worked! Thanks. Subscribed on my TV, but can't comment there. Looking forward to your next project.
@@user-rb1jj5cy8y thank you!!
Bad ass man great work!
Thank you!
I know this 100% makes me sound like a car Karen…but after tearing apart dozens of rusty trucks, it’s so grating to me to see people plugging in weatherpak connectors with no dielectric grease haha! This build is super cool though! I love every second of this series!!
I honestly didn't know you're supposed to put dialectric grease in weather packs, learn something new everyday! Thank you for following along!
@@BestDamnShopAround you’re probably not…it’s probably overkill…I’m just weird about lube 😂😂😂
I spit on my connections
@@300whiteout9 🤣
@@nickwolf3405 🤣
I vote weld on a gas cap and ditch the rag. That little cup will be full of water if it sits outside.
Good point!
You’re my hero! I just picked up a 59 and a p71 cv. What was your final budget ? I’m aiming at about $3500. I plan to use the f100 steering wheel and modify for a floor shift using the original shifter. Looking forward to any more videos on this one!!!
We've got two more videos planned, one of interior upgrades and the second of the maiden voyage. Probably also doing a complete cost breakdown as well. Ended up with right around 2,200 total.
Never would have considered a rear super crew seat for a front seat. Are you going to leave the rear glass? I would til it just wouldnt hold anymore.
The seat was a gamble but it worked out well, super comfortable and it's hard to beat a flip down armrest with cup holders! Yes, the back window is staying until it falls out haha
Do those light bulbs plug right in?
Sure do!
Can you provide a link for the sealed beam conversions that you used?

@@BestDamnShopAround thanks for the help.
@@jeremyclinard186 any time!
Did you incorporate the overdrive cancel button somewhere?
Thought about it but haven't got around to it yet. Still a work in progress!
How tall are you? I'm 6'4" and always looking for a seat that gives me a little more room in the cab.
I'm 6 ft with a long torso. This combination puts me at that perfect arm out the window cruising height. My head is nowhere near the roof and I don't feel like I'm looking out the top of the windshield
Curious if you had a total cost to build. Looking to something with a 48 f1 your videos give me motivation to get it going.
I have two more videos planned for the series. First will be an interior video and The second will be an entire price breakdown. So stick around and you'll see how i did it for less than $2200 cash
Damn good build! Out of curiosity, since I’m assuming the f100 didn’t come with a title, is the truck technically registered as the crown Vic?
Here in Georgia we don't require titles for vehicles older than 1985. So it is registered as a 59 F100 because that is the then on the cab.
@@BestDamnShopAround that’s bad ass. Glad it worked out like that. Look forward to binge watching the rest of the videos until current lol
@@Fahrenheit_Motorsports thank you for tuning in!
Point the camera out the front 👍
Good idea!
It turned out sweet, does the A/C work? I’m sure it’s another bug to work out.🎉
Haven't tackled the ac yet, but I will soon! I'm too old for no ac 😂
@@BestDamnShopAround you and me both, although now a days I only use it when I feel it’s necessary. It’s like having an airbag, you don’t want to use it but it’s nice to know it’s there. Job well done sir.
@@miguelpagansr6128 💯 agreed! Thank you!
sometimes OCD is a good thing😂
True! 😂
where's the seat belts
At that time it didn't have any, but it does now!
Can I make a suggestion? Have someone or yourself hand brush on your logo on each door.
That's a good idea!
@@BestDamnShopAround Great! Now find a set of those 17” Mustang wheels. Then I say for the exterior cosmetics it’s finished… (just my worthless .02 cents) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hold up....IS IT SLOW?!?!?! Couldn't tell when you punched it but on camera.....shhhooowwwweeee looked slow...maybe needs a turbski
Everything needs a turbski! Lol to be honest I wasn't punching it very hard, I'm very timid with new builds! But just imagine it's about the same speed as a bone stock 2010 crown Vic police interceptor, maybe a couple hundred pounds lighter.
All crown Vic’s are slow my guy lol
@@kixtonjordan9521 faster than the stock straight six 59 F100! Lol
@@BestDamnShopAround 😂😂a lot smoother ride also
@@kixtonjordan9521 bingo 😂
Please with that silly lowering crap.
@@hunkydorian what do you suggest?
Stop driving an automatic with two feet
Why's that?
Only time two feet are appropriate is to get the tires spinning 😂. good looking build!
@@Jimbosmax thank you! I developed the two foot habit from racing go karts and it's stuck with me for life 😂 also everything else I own is a straight shift so my left foot feels lazy not doing something haha
Needs a proper paint job. The "Patina" look sucks.
If I could justify the investment I would!
@@BestDamnShopAround It's called sweat equity and could be done easily for $300.00. Give it a shot.
@@davidleland8729 👍
Wrong your just wrong. To paint this would be criminal not to mention a major unwarranted expense
@@samdavis3813 And you are truly nuts. Go take a chill pill and get a grip!
