Many years ago, Glenn and his father completely restored a 1956 Ford F100 pickup truck, and right after they finished it, the truck was stolen. A local gang had taken the vehicle, removed all of the identifying numbers, and banged it all up. It was later found in a total state of disarray. This understandably caused great heartbreak to the father and son. They thought about starting over, but came to the conclusion that they just didn’t want to go through the entire process again - a truly frustrating position to be in. Fast forward to 2020, and that's where Classic Showcase stepped in to help recover a dream that had been lost...
Classic Showcase previously restored a 1954 Jaguar XK-120 for Glenn in 2018, and he was elated with the results we acheived for his Roadster. With that, he decided to commison us to help him with the second attempt at his family's Ford F100 dream project. This restoration effort is a welcome and unique addition to our usual British-German-Italian marque work, as Glenn is also requesting a number of high performance as well as comfort additions to this build. From custom wheels to a fully modernized interior with Bluetooth functionality, this F100 will be full of the classic styling of the period but with just enough modern touches to create a truly one of a kind classic Truck.
Various views of the F100 right after delivery and partial disassembly. As you can see, the truck and most of its components were in pieces, with a number of extra parts included. Our team immediately started dissasembling and organizing the F100 components, getting them ready for evaulation and eventual restoration in the approproate department.
