Video: With Frankenstein, The “Honey-Dos” Are No Longer A Problem

frankenstein01How many times has it happened to you? You’re ready to sit down and work on a project, or chow down on some grub, and the wifey has some errands that she wants you to do? It’s frustrating, but you love her and you willingly – on the outside – do them for her.

These Honey-dos can be anything from fixing a closet door to mowing the lawn, or heading to the store to buy her “unmentionables”. We don’t even bother to clean up, we just grab the keys and we go, right? Well, if you had a truck set up like this 1968 Ford F100 “Frankenstein”, our guess is that you wouldn’t mind running all of those special errands.

This beast is the creation of KC Mathieu of KC’s Paint Shop in Crowley, Texas, and is accomplished by melding one part Ford pickup with equal parts Ford Racing and Roush supercharger, and flat-lining it into one bad ‘monster’ truck. Shifting the power is done with a Tremec T-56 Magnum feeding an Eaton Truetrac, and putting it all down on a set of Budnik wheels.

frankenstein04Keeping the power planted to the pavement, Ridetech coilovers hold it all steady to deliver all 700 horses to the pavement. Aeromotive fuels the monster, and Classic Instruments monitors all the vitals in this creation that can only have one name: Frankenstein.

So tell us the truth, if you could hit the road like this for every little “Honey-do”, would you be sitting on the sofa in front of some lame football game, complaining, or would you grab the keys and go pick up one item at a time and bring it back? Yeah, us too. Watch the monster come alive in the video above. It starts slow, but you won’t regret it.
