It's a cool car and cool build. I would have named it something female though. lol
There’s a story behind the name. I don’t normally name my vehicles but this one is special. My dad bought a new a body 50 years ago before he passed away and I’ve always wanted to build one. This one kinda fell in my lap and I was fortunate enough to get it home to start the build on March 4, which would have been my dad’s birthday. Fred is short for Frederick which was his middle name. My grandparents used to call him Fred which is why I decided to name this car Fred.It's a cool car and cool build. I would have named it something female though. lol
That's pretty cool. My 75 F250 Ford truck was the first vehicle I ever named. I named it Gladys. That was my mother's first name. Her middle name was Nan, which she went by because she didn't like Gladys, but I always liked it.There’s a story behind the name. I don’t normally name my vehicles but this one is special.

I never named my vehicles. It was stupid to me. I just call my car a *****, SOB, etc….It's a cool car and cool build. I would have named it something female though. lol

Car is coming together!, nice work, think you might have a shot at taking it to renegade raceway for the mopar drags in June?Days 11 and 12 were pretty productive. Got the engine compartment painted F4 green, installed the engine, trans, headers, fuel tank and started routing the under hood wiring as well as mock up the exhaust. While installing the headers, I found out that I must not have had the engine sitting in the car just right because now they don't fit. Had to open up the holes in the fender wells and pull the power steering gear box. Decided rather than beat on the headers, I am going to convert to manual steering and wouldn't you know it? Someone put up a brand new PST manual box for sale on the forum today just as I was about to order one. Snagged it up and ordered a pitman arm and universal since I plan to extend the steering column myself.
