  • Hey guys, This is one of the harder videos to edit. We went out to @HolleyPerformance Ford Fest & brought out Snicker's our 1978 Ford F150 4x4 with a @MastMotorsports 7.3L Godzilla & sent it a little too hard.

Your rigs aren’t sitting in the garage under a cover. Shit happens. You didn’t get hurt, you’re healthy…you will, like all car guys & gals, pick up the pieces and rebuild. Good luck.

    Your truck your channel, but I hate to see this done to an original truck with custom paint, burn out competitions like this will definitely drive up the prices for people with clean survivors. I had a hard time finding a cheap 70's truck with a rust free bed in the 90's when I bought my first F150 so I settled on an 83... but at least you find them and drive them better than rusting behind the barn.

Just FYI, all the beds are interchangeable from 1973-1996. Go to pick 'n pull and get a newer bed, then hang dentside quarters on it. (you have to get full quarters, obviously) I'm glad to hear you plan on rebuilding it. Maybe put a locker in it next time.

    He planned it!!!! Why did he say at the beginning “ pray for my quarter panels “!!!! He put an old tire so it would blow up!!!😂😂😂

    Wow. That was crazy cool to see. I couldn't believe how that tire did so much damage to a beautiful truck. Can't wait to see what you do to it in the future.

      That’s why open rear ends and oversized tires are no bueno for burnouts. It puts double the wheel speed to one tire if the other is planted. You could see it ballooning big time before it gave up. Idk what his speedo was reading but that tire would be doing double that.

    Poor Snickers! I love original vehicles, especially ones that have original custom paint!
    As the saying goes, they are only original once!
    I have mixed emotions over this one...If it were mine (which obviously it isn't) I would be pretty upset but then again. I wouldn't have entered such a one of a kind time capsule to begin with...but that's just me.

    That's crazy, thought you hit a pole when I saw the photos last night. The way snickers, kept shutting down was almost like the truck knew what was coming. Are you gonna keep the same paint graphics?

    • @FordEra
      @FordEra  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yea the problem was because it kept shutting off it made me madder haha, stupid thing now i am 100% keeping the paint scheme

    It was so crazy to see in person but I still don't think it should've won the burnout contest just because the truck destroyed itself. There were so many other better burnout performances. Glad you guys had fun though.

    I hope the old dude you bought it from doesn’t see this. Probably break his heart. A friend of mine back in 1980 bought a pristine 68 cougar XR7 with a 390 from a neighbor,an older man himself,down the street with the understanding that it would be in good hands. He destroyed it over the course of a year. They were devastated watching it slowly die. They offered to buy it back for same amount even though damaged but no dice. About four months later he lost control in the rain ran it into a ditch at 60 miles an hour destroying it completely. I came by to see how bad the damage was and the neighbor he bought it from was walking away with a defeated look on his face. But hey it’s just a car,right?

    That was a badass burn out show Solomon. But it put a tear to my eye to see the right quarter panel explode into pieces. Can't wait for the rebuild bud. Gary Behrens (Blue Mules one and two)

    What's great is you can still find panels for trucks! That tire must have been pumped up to have blown the side of that truck off and kick it 4 feet in the air! EPIC!!

    Imagine building a nice old ford that took a lot of hard earned money and time for some of us. Just to be more excited of a rebuild at the end that just goes to show how much of work the guy who owns it actually does compared to all the rest of us.
