Hello From San Diego
Back in college I had a 66 F100 Step-side with a 460 that was bored over and could outrun everything except a gas station. Didn't help that a buddy and I had mounted a hot tub in the bed.
Anyhow about 2 months ago, I got run off the road on my motorcycle by a dbag in a Jaguar doing 80 around the bend in a residential road, on the wrong side. The resulting injuries and time in hospital left me stuck home (which I still am) watching reruns of all the car shows and scouring ebay and CL for my own project. I started off looking for an early to mid 50's, but found a barn fresh 57 with very little rust... As a former Fire Fighter the fact that it had started off life as a Fire Service vehicle didn't hurt. I am going to start a rebuild thread elsewhere.
Originally I am from Toronto but have lived in San Diego for about 2 years now. Love San Diego and looking forward to meeting the local members and helping out on some projects.

And there are lots of pics and the story of a somewhat epic trip home for you all.
