THEN WE CAN JUST USE THAT MONEY TO BUY A NEW REPLACEMENT HOOD. OR WE CAN UNLOAD IT AT A SWAP MEET TO SOMEBODY WHO WANTS A HOOD WITH PATINA. IT'S DEFINITELY GOT SOME PATINA FROM RUST, BUT IT'S FIXABLE. BUT THE HOOD, THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT STORY. NOW IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE A BIG EXPLODED MODEL AND A TON OF WORK, AND IT IS, BUT WE'VE GOT A LOT OF GOOD PARTS HERE, AND MOST OF THEM ARE IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE. THAT WAY! (RYAN)> MUSH! ALRIGHT, NOW WITH THE TRUCK AND TRAILER UNLOADED, WE CAN TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT KEVIN DRAGGED HOME. HOWEVER, YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF STUFF THAT PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY DONE AND THE MONEY THEY'VE ALREADY SPENT, AND SAVE YOURSELF TIME, MONEY, AND EFFORT, AND STILL HAVE YOUR OWN TRUCK. SO THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF THAT'S IN GARAGES, NOT ON THE ROAD, AND JUST WAITING EITHER TO BE FINISHED OR TO BE PASSED ON LIKE ALAN DID TO US TO A NEW SET OF OWNERS POSSIBLY WITH A NEW SET OF GOALS. OR HECK MAYBE EVEN IT TAKES TWO, TO THREE, TO FIVE YEARS TO FINISH A PROJECT. NOW IF YOU THINK US SCORING THIS GREAT OLD PICK UP TRUCK IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY, WELL YOU CAN THINK AGAIN BECAUSE THE SAD TRUTH IS FOR EVERY PROJECT THAT YOU SEE AT A CAR SHOW, OR ON THE ROAD, OR AT AN AUTO CROSS, THE TRUTH IS THERE ARE PROBABLY FIVE THAT ARE IN THIS SHAPE, THAT HAVE BEEN STARTED AND STALLED. FOR NOW I'M GONNA LOAD UP THESE PARTS, TAKE THEM BACK HOME, SEE WHAT WE'VE GOT. YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO JUST TAKE IT OVER, SAVE YOURSELF A LOT OF TIME AND A LOT OF MONEY. IF YOU DO A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH AND FIND OUT A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE ABANDONED PROJECTS, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF SOMEBODY THAT'S ALREADY DONE AN AWFUL LOT OF WORK AND AN AWFUL LOT OF RESOURCE HUNTING, GATHERING PARTS, COLLECTING AND DESIGNING A PROJECT.

HE WASN'T GOING TO CHINCE OUT, HE WAS GONNA DO IT RIGHT, BUT HE'S JUST READY TO PASS IT ON TO THE NEXT PERSON, US, BUT IT COULD BE YOU. (KEVIN)> NOW OBVIOUSLY ALAN HAD THE BEST INTENTIONS WITH THIS PROJECT. SO AT THAT TIME I JUST DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO GO AHEAD AND GET RID THIS PROJECT AND GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE. AND THE DIRECTION I WAS GOING I WAS GONNA BE WAY PAST THAT POINT WITHOUT PUTTING A LOT MORE MONEY INTO IT TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL. AND I KNEW WHAT I WANTED TO PUT INTO THE TRUCK SO IF I DID SELL IT I WOULD BE ABLE TO AT LEAST BREAK EVEN OR MAKE A LITTLE MONEY. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? (ALAN)> MY BUDDY THAT WAS HELPING ME WORK ON THIS PROJECT, WE SAT DOWN AND WAS GOING OVER NUMBERS. THIS IS THE CLASSIC CASE OF AN ABANDONED PROJECT THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON JUST DOESN'T GET FINISHED. THE FIREWALL, CUSTOM VENTS, AND THE TOP HAS BEEN CHOPPED AND CHOPPED PROPERLY. THERE'S BEEN AN AWFUL LOT OF WORK DONE ON IT. THIS, ALTHOUGH IT MAY NOT LOOK LIKE IT RIGHT NOW, IS A '55 FORD F-100, AND THERE'S ORIGINAL PARTS, THE ORIGINAL CHASSIS IS IN DECENT SHAPE, A BRAND NEW COMPLETE BED KIT, ALL KINDS OF AFTERMARKET PARTS, GREAT ORIGINAL PARTS, ESPECIALLY THE CAB. AND BASED ON WHAT I'M LOOKING AT HERE WE HAVE IN FACT STRUCK GOLD. AS A MATTER OF FACT, HE'S HAD SEVERAL OF THEM FEATURED IN MAJOR MAGAZINES AND HE'S NO STRANGER TO GETTING DIRT UNDER HIS FINGERNAILS EITHER. THIS GUYS IS NOT STRANGER TO BUILDING TRUCKS. SO WE INVESTED IN A LITTLE BIT FUEL, LITTLE BIT OF WINDSHIELD TIME, AND FOUND OUR WAY TO OUR BUDDY ALAN JACKSON'S HOUSE. SO WHILE RYAN FINISHES UP A FEW LOOSE ENDS ON SUPER DUALLY, I'M GONNA JUMP IN THE TRUCK AND TRAILER AND SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND. AND WE CAN POSSIBLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE HARD WORK THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE AND THE INVESTMENT IN PARTS THAT'S ALREADY BEEN MADE. (KEVIN)> THAT'S RIGHT BECAUSE WE'VE GOT A BUDDY THAT READ SOMETHING ABOUT SOMEBODY THAT MIGHT HAVE HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT AN ABANDONED PROJECT THAT MAY BE WORTH GETTING INTO. BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE THE TYPICAL ROUTE OF HEADING TO THE LOCAL NEW OR USED CAR DEALER.

WITH SUPER DUALLY KINDA COMING DOWN THE HOME STRETCH AND OUR '93 CHEVY, OUR LOW BUCK STREET TRUCK, NOT FAR BEHIND, WELL WE'RE GONNA NEED SOMETHING TO WORK ON. WELL TODAY WE'RE LOOKING TO START A NEW PROJECT. WE FOUND A DISASSEMBLED 1955 F-100 AND WE'RE GONNA SHOW YOU HOW TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY BY REVIVING SOMEONE'S ABANDONED PROJECT. (ANNOUNCER)> TODAY THE GUYS ARE STARTING THEIR NEXT CLASSIC BUILD.
