Voodoonoodle's 35 Hot Rod Truck Build

[Voodoonoodle]

I've been ogling this truck for about a good five years and previously bought the digital version of the build manual a while back and have went through it a good number of times already. Finally, on 11/14/2024, I submitted my order and have a completion date of 12/21/2024. While I eagerly await it's arrival, I've been channeling all my energy into transforming my garage from a chaotic mess into a masterpiece of organization. Up unitl this point in my life, I've been all about motorcycles of all varieties (from custom built choppers, to a number of sportbikes and track days) and loved to wrench on them. But as I get older and arguably wiser and a little bit of nudging from my wife, and also losing several friends and aquintances than I care to remember, I've come to the realization that maybe I should choose something a tad bit safer. So, I have made the decision to take the plunge and attempt to build a FFR 35 Hot Rod Truck. No purchasing a car and just slapping on shiny accessories and calling it custom for me—unless they’re exceptionally shiny, of course. After all, I’m going for a car (or truck in this case) that even my future grandchildren will marvel at (or laugh at) someday!

Hopefully I won't ask too many dumb questions or embarass myself too badly, since I'm not entirely familiar with the ins and outs of the car world, and feel motorcycles are so much more simple compared to a car.

With that, below are the following options that I have ordered:

- LS Install Kit
- Automatic Transmission, 4L65E 98+
- Paintable Tilt Steering Column
- Moser Rear End
- Platinum Gauges
- Black Vinyl Bench Seats (Plan to have re-upholstered)
- FFR Powder Coated Frame
- Wilwood Front and Rear Brakes in Black
- FFR AC/Heater Kit
- EFI Fuel Option
- Aluminum Bed Kit
- Brake Reservoir Kit
- Electric Power Steering

I'm contemplating running 19x9.5 front and 20x11.5 rear wheels. I also am planning on doing a Black and Blue color theme, using a Dynamic Blue Metallic.
