Hi Dad! You may not remember me but I just wanted to tell you I love you
Man! :] No son has had a better Dad! Where do we live now?
The '41 military vehicle. Willys wasn't able to keep up production so
the US contracted Ford to produce the same vehicle. Is this correct? What
are the differences between what Willys produced and Ford?
We can't split the list! Look it brings Families together! Thanks Ken if
not for you I would have never found my Dad!

I say go for the four different lists. That way we have a variety and it
keeps things interesting. Plus, we might even learn some things we didn't
already know about other Fords!

Bret,
I weld everyday for a living what you need is a wire feed mig machine
and use .023 wire also make sure you get the correct contact tips. This
is going to be your best choice it's easy light weight and very
versital.

Subject: Hood ornament on 61 F100

Hi All,

I posted this a week or so ago but I think I messed up the address or
something because it came back to me but I never saw it in the digest.

I recently bought a 61 F-100 Unabody.

It has a little chrome plated jet plane on the hood in adition to the
expected "gear and lightning" emblem. I've never seen one of these
before on any F-100.

Is this little jet plane a factory installed item? I don't think it is
but I don't want to throw it away till I know for sure. Can any of you
Effy experts help me out here.

Subject: Electrolisis derusting process

Hi All,

I've been cleaning up the original wheels from my 61 Unibody, and have
used a process called Electrolisis which removes ALL rust right down to
a beautiful light gray bare metal.
This process doesn't damage the metal in any way like grinding or
sandblasting does.
It's also cheap!

I was wondering if I should post a "how to" to the list?

Let me know what you think.

Yes I for one would be interested in knowing how this is done.

Thanks Sam

Don, so far most of the postings I've gotten say "split it". However,
I asked for feedback so I could gauge from the responses whether this
is enough of an issue to vote on. I won't make the decission, the list
members will. It looks like within a week or two (I've got other
items with higher priority) there will be a voting form on the web
site (and alternate email voting instructions) along with a user
survey. Just like the last two times, full voting results will get
published on the lists (minus names/email addresses).

The Jet Plane was not an option that I know of. It almost sounds like the
hood ornament off of a 1955-1957 Ch*vy B*l A*r.
