Another newbe from KY

I just wanted to say "hi" from Kentucky.

I've been working on, or around, Fords since before I could legally drive. My current project is actually the first vehicle I ever owned. I got it when I was 15, and have held onto it ever since.

Last year I was really tempted to transplant a 351M, from a '79 F150, but I just couldn't do it. I really like my Flathead.

Right after Christmas (last week) I started a frame-off restoration/build. It is currently just a frame on a rotisserie, getting cleaned, sanded, and ready for paint.

It won't be ready for the Supernationals in May, but I think I'm going to shoot for the True Blue Truck Festival in September.

Wish me luck!

I'm in Eastern Kentucky, right off I-64, near Mount Sterling.
Actually, I'm from Berea, Kentucky, but I've lived here for almost 14 years.

I'm starting to think Kentucky may be a hot bed for old Ford trucks. Wonder which state has the most trucks in our year ranges.
