Welcome back to BodeVision, your go-to channel for captivating automotive content! In this exciting episode of our shop truck build series, we continue our journey of transforming a 1968 Ford F350 by body swapping it onto a modern Lincoln Towncar chassis. Join us as we showcase the latest advancements and upgrades in our project.
First, we address the importance of rust prevention by laying down primer in the cab. I start off with the application of DTM Epoxy primer, ensuring that the fresh metal remains protected from corrosion, prolonging the lifespan of our beloved truck.
Next, we venture into the realm of custom fabrication as we embark on building speaker panels. Experience the thrill as we cut 18-gauge sheet metal and skillfully bend it using our bender. Adding a touch of uniqueness, we enhance the panels with stylish dimple die holes, creating a visually appealing backdrop for our audio system.
Moving on to the engine bay, we push the boundaries of customization by custom fitting trailer fenders as wheel tubs. Watch closely as I meticulously cut out factory metal to make extra room for the wheels, accommodating the vehicle's new bagged suspension system. Once the trailer fenders are welded into place, I fashion custom sheet metal pieces to fill in gaps, creating a seamless integration.T
Moreover, the added metal in the engine bay enhances the strength of our hood hinges, ensuring stability and durability. Witness the remarkable progress made as our project takes shape, bringing us closer to the vision we set out to achieve.

The more I look at this, the more those town car wheels are looking mint for that ride. She's coming along nicely Bode! 👊
dude mad respect for cutting all your metal by hand and working in the back yard you do some amazing work. this auto fusion project is amazing and I love that you utilize everything you have on hand. Keep up the great content I cant wait to see how this truck turns out.
It's coming along great. Love the attention to detail bro! Can't wait to see the finished product, but I'm thoroughly enjoy the progress and updates!
Nice! Happy Saturday brotha first comment
Man that vice stand with accessories has been coming in clutch lately. Truck is coming along nicely 👌🏼
Those factory wheels are perfect for this build!!!!
I love how much time you spent on getting your shop optimized for getting work done on projects each day. You make so much progress with the space and things you have. I love the vice/bender/cut station outside on the concrete pad. I love all of it!
Thank you!
@@BodeVisioni am a scriber and i wanted to know how can i get my car painted by you i see you do grate work
Don't forget some magnesium drag blocks for the back, so you can throw Madd sparks when droppin the back while driving. Drop and Destroy 🤟😎
Yo bro I found your Channel Through the boostedboiz been watching ever since you did Wago's paint job. I'm loving this autofusion series bro can't wait to see the finished product keep up the good work. Also you definitely should keep the Town Car Wheels on this thing. They will look sick AF paired with whatever paint you throw on it if you just polish them up a bit.
This thing look soooo cool Love it!!! BTW keep the wheels 💪💪💪💪
This is amazing work, good to see what you can do with the tooling that you have. Would love to see more builds like this in the future, keep up the good work. 🇦🇺
Quarter to 9 = 8:75 🤣I love it!!
Yo!!!! This thing is coming together even better than I imagined. Phenomenal work man 🔥🔥🔥
When u said utilize my brain instantly went to the movie idiocracy......
This is gonna be a sick shop truck. Definitely gonna keep watchin this series just like all the others. Awesome work brother!
Speaker boxes look awesome. Love the Dimple Dies. Only thing is they are gonna suck for sound. I suggest gluing a piece of black carpet inside to cover the holes. That will get your bass back.
Only found your channel about 4 days ago. Binge watched every video you had on this project in a few hours. To say I was excited to see this video in my feed is an understatement lol.
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome content... not sure if its only me but there isn't video only audio
I Had this problem caused i think by an advert . I ended up watching the video on the desktop version
You said it.... "it just keeps getting better and better!" VERY KOOL!
Craftsman for sure, how about a video explaining your journey how,who etc?
Too Wicked!....those Trailer Tubs come in handy for anything it seems like!!...Are you planning to do Custom Retrofit Headlights on this too?
Dang! This is coming along super sick! Great work!👍👍
Damn Adam you doing the damn thang with the shop truck looking better and better every time 🤙🏼 #bodesqaud #projectshoptruck
Hey Serj, be careful welding around the battery, even some dry cells emit hydrogen….
Love the truck videos
@BodeVision your intros always crack me up😂 Great hook to great videos. Keep it up man!
Honestly, you Gotta keep the patina!!! Loving your speed hole (dimples) on the speaker mounts. 😂
Looks killer dude. I'm doing a similar thing with a much smaller truck.
Love to see Ole School metal fab! I got bucket seats from a 2010 Crown Vick cop car in my 1972... so now I'm thinking about fabing a center console :)
Loving the progress. What welding helmet are you using I'm thinking about upgrading, but don't want to spend 2-300 on a helmet.
Tailer fenders… like cainting the page?? 😜 digging the build bro haven’t missed a vid
Lookin' great brother!
Great video like always, why not go with hydraulic hood supports?
Best Sunday morning content but Bodie pick up the camera more and show more information
The truck is really taking shape now Adam, you did a fantastic job fabricating the inner panels under the hood as it just made it look so much better👌
Looking forward to the next instalment👍John UK
Be careful welding around that battery! Any gases escape from the bat goes boom!
Very well done with the build and the short videos are not a bad idea, this beast is gonna be slammed and sick looking. You gonna stick with the patina paint scheme or change it up a bit? And honestly I wouldn't mind watching 30 minute videos just so you can pack more progress and build info in them bud. Absolutely insane how the auto fusion series is going.
Been watching for a long time. I think this is the best project you’ve had on the channel.
the truck looks fantastic you do outstanding work keep up the good work
The Shop truck is looking great As Ford!!
Only channel that i smash the like button before i even see whats going on in the video. Youre killin it bro. Keep up the greatness.
You should film registering, titling and getting insurance on this ride. Would love to see you tell them it’s a Lincoln town car.
Starting to see your vision come to life bro, mad respect. Peace n love bro keep it rad stay safe and build on l8z
Adam you truly are very talented on all your projects. Can wait for next video.
I got a question when you do a build like this how does the title change work
As a person who has a great interest in audio and knows quite a bit I would recommend let you use plenty of sound deadening around the speakers and behind them so they don't sound metallic when they bump
Flare the inner edge of the tubs. If you need to move it at all when aired out it'll eat those tires up. PS I like the Lincoln wheels on the truck
You making it look so easy lol but I know it’s alot of hard work and it’s paying off looking great
Love it. Always wanted to try the trailer fenders for a wide body dtm style body kit.
I assume you are gonna be putting different wheels on there and that fit is tight on those. Are you gonna make sure they have plenty of room for other wheels too?
I’m my opinion this is your best build yet, your killing it!
Are you going to fix that rust hole on the passenger side tub, on the outside of the bay?
So damn good anything less than a 20 min video makes me so sad. Cliffhanger master
I'm loving it more by the minute def great work them tubs right in the money
Can’t wait to see this thing on some cool wheels gonna totally transform it 👌🏽
Can’t get enough of this! Probably my favorite thing you’ve done in the last five years.
I am absolutely loving this build
l am wrapped in your skills . You make this look easy.
It’s coming along nicely 👍👍
Looking sick Bodi! I F,in loveit!
Coming along nice brother 👌
Looks amazing my dude!
This thing is freaking sweet❤
Good job Bode! Looking really nice...and trailer fender, nice , do the same in the back....?
Yes they’ll be integrated into the utility bed
Loving this build!
Looking fantastic man!
It's looking great
You make this look too easy
Really looking good... does truck have a name? All my vehicles have a name... I just bought my 15th vehicle and her name is six... being a 6.0 powerstroke
The slam box
@@BodeVision I remember hearing that now. Looks good
Looking so great
Smashed out!
Looooookiiinn gooooooood..,LOL...😆👍🙏
Great progress
It looks sick!!
The fitment with the tubs is perfect. Do you plan to pull motor to paint the tubs and engine bay?
Everything is removable and it’ll be painted prior to final install. Motor will stay
Looks badass
I would have never thought of using trailer fenders for the inner fenders, ready made!
Old skool. Like flippin a wheel barrel upside down for a cowl hood
Bad Ass!!
Will those rear airbags be able to support the weight of the utility boxes?
The boxes won’t weigh more then the motor and trans and from end
Dope
👊👊👊👊
Very nice progress Adam. I love this project! Have a great one, Dutch regards Nico.
The fenders turned out sick! Love the way it's all coming together!
Lookin good bro. Im doing a cab swap and its a lot more work than i thought...I'm nowhere near complete. Appreciate ya, thanks for the inspiration
😮💲
Inner fenders look great. Once ur done you should put U-Haul stickers on them.
Great job man. I’m ready to see the paint you choose
Good work. Loving this build.
Love the progress bro .Keep it up looks fire❤.
Those speakers should be upgraded as they have no real magnet and won't produce any real sound.
They were in the car and they produced sound just fine before I removed the deck. Also with this being a common size I can easily upgrade if necessary
@@BodeVision always upgrade audio while it's out, nothing worse than taking car apart again later.
Save time and replace them now than later.
They won't run well on a amp if you ever amp up or change head units.
Most after market head units have twice or more power output than a stock radio etc.
@@Andrew-vd2ko - I believe the stock radio in this Lincoln Town Car is an “Alpine Pro”. I would think an Alpine brand would be a half way decent system.
@@dbode4072 check the rms rating, most likely to be only 5 to 10 rms per channel not a 15 to 20 as per most other after market.
Even alpine did low output systems for car markers.
Great progress !! Always good to see how you're tackling all the different challenges you face ... and you're handling them with ease (at least, so it seems). Awesome work. What are you going to do with the body? leave it kind of in a rusty, ratlook kind a vibe, or are you going to give it a very nice paintjob? Curious.
I’m probably going with a patina style paint job
Yo, intro question..next video lol
what do you call a stinky queef?
A tuna toot.
A normal truck bed would look so sick on that when it’s aired out
I hate the shallow tray look on a bagged out bed tho- utility is truly useful still
