Hackster's Autocross Track Day Truck (Garage Build)

[hackster]

A few of you guys followed along with my ls swapped f100 build. The builds here are amazing and guys have more money into their wheels than I have into my entire builds.

But you guys do give some awesome feedback and have some builders on here that have some amazing talent and I appreciate your pointers.

Follow along as I try and get this thing done in time for Thunderhill OUSCA



Truck was found behind a friends shop with some locked up brakes and a little frontend damage but all in all, pretty ok.

Its a start and was extremely cheap.

Wanted to make sure I had a good straight and square frame so once I got it torn down, I sent it off to a local frame shop.



Donor car.....I am using everything from this car, engine, Transmission, rearend and rear suspension.



Stripping down the framerails for some new front suspension



Plating in the framerails before setting in the front Crown Vic setup.



Rear lower control arm mounts



Bolted in and ready to swap ends. Oh yeah, I am doing every last bit of this myself in my small shop with just a few tools, you could call it an extreme budget build.



Starting on the rear, I spent a ton of time on the back of this thing, good to go back and see where I started.



Thats a better working surface



Mocking up the mustang rearend and rear suspension



Rear end pretty mocked up and ready to weld it out. 3 link with a panhard bar. QA1 adjustables, double in the front, single in the rear Factory mustang Sway bar. Should handle extremely well.



Rear suspension all welded out, you can see the frame plate are in on this one and the rear shock towers are in as well. They should fit under the bed....should
