The timeline and plans reflect the owner’s original account.
Mike had owned his 1977 Ford for about five or six years when he shared the story. He built it exactly as he wanted: Cummins power, a five-speed, custom-cut Alcoa wheels, fresh paint, a new interior and a custom flatbed.
The experience he chose was its smooth cruising, something he found hard to put into words. There was no new build phase on his list. He wanted to enjoy it, and invited readers to find Dented and Driven Garage on TikTok as well.
