Did not see anywhere special for introductions. Hello all. Just wanting to take a look around a bit. You seem to have a different set of skills and information that I may or may not find useful but have thus far found interesting.

I'm just a shade tree auto junky. Mostly started out with tractors on the farm and branched out. Thank You

Greetings and welcome!

If any of that branching out headed even remotely towards sports cars, GT cars, or rally cars, then I think you will find a home here. If not, many of us like tractors, trucks, motorcycles, and other things along those lines, so it still may be worth sticking around!

Welcome!

I like that F100 project! Do you have any more pics?

Interesting choice going with an FE, what are the specs?

Thank you all so much for your kindness. I drag raced a Z28. Does that count. Lol. I was looking into a Miata but i didnt fit 6'4. Thats why i mostly have fat boy toys. I desperately want a 3000GT though.

360 bored .30 all oil galleys beveled Flat top pistons. Total seal rings. 428 crank. Edelbrock performer aluminum heads ported and polished. Headers. Quick fuel 850. .hydraulic roller. 594 .598 cam MSD 6al digital. that's the gist on engine. It's rowdy and running. It is the factory block but that's all.

One wire altenator. Shift kit. Upgraded valve body on C6. Yukon Grizzly in Ford 9in. Calvert Trac bars. Hurst pie crust cheater slicks on Pro Comp wheels. Factory Vinyl top and rear mounted fuel tank.

This truck was a mechanic that used to help me when i was 16. He bought it new in 1970. When he was dying of cancer he offered to sell it to me but I couldn't afford it my brother bought it and sold it back so that no one else wld buy it. All work has been performed in my garage. Farmers Machine in Evansville did the engine work.

No tanks. Every vehicle has a name... Some vehicles get a giant Tank decal in the window and you get a new nickname.

Welcome Frank! I would love to see more pics of the F 100. I've got a soft spot for 'em.

We have all skills and information. or can point you in the right direction. Seriously, ask anything, someone can help. Does anyone remember the guy who needed laboratory quality animal blood on short notice?

Welcome to the madness, indeed!
