Bob- no more mud cow path to the barn! You won't know how to get the F2 out of storage from the shock.
That is a great looking place. Wish you both the best for making it a successful business venture and great home you will enjoy. Have fun

I went out with a neighbor this morning for breakfast and afterwards he wanted to check out the new place. He an old car guy and knows a heck of a lot more people than me in the hobby. As we were leaving he was pointing out a half dozen or more homes of old cars that are my new neighbors. This could be another added bonus.

Congratulations and God's blessings on your new place. I am pleased to hear that your deal went through as you hoped it would. As nice as your old shop was, it doesn't look as though you will miss it. Jim

Great looking place Bob & Michelle. Congratulations on finding what you were looking for & completing the deal. I'm sure I'm not the only one on here who is envious about having that amount of space to play in. We have a three car garage & often joke about wanting three more stalls.

Rest assured, you are not. I'm not going to even show the pictures to my wife lest she get ideas! Beautiful piece there Bob.

I'm hoping. We'll just have to see how the next year goes. We really scraped together everything we had to get this place but it was everything we were looking for and seemed like it was meant to be. I really enjoyed hosting TS '15 and would really like to do it again. '48-56 FTE is like an extended family, a really great bunch of people and I want to see all you guys again.

Bob plan a TS on moving day. Then load up all the fat fenders and take a road trip to the new place !! Think of all the help you would have and no moving cost! Win win for everyone.

The only problem is finding a truck that I won't mind hacking up. I just remembered, Andy, my youngest son, is going to get a beater truck that's sitting behind his girlfriend's mom's barn for free. He just wants the engine out of it.
Bob - returning to your first post, did you find your donor cab? If not you're welcome to hack up the cab on my 50 F-3 MH. It's become a mechanical donor for my 51, so all the sheet metal will go. Nothing is nice enough to generate revenue, so you're welcome to as much or little of it as you want. Stu

Hey Bob,
Congratulations on your new place. I'm jealous - all that room..... I wish....

Ok let me show my ignorance of all farm things - "Really nice looking place! A shame to cover it with hay burners." Is a hay burner a cow?

Looking good up there in Wisconsin!!

That would be pretty cool to see a parade of old Fords pulling up to the new digs.

I'll talk to Chelle to see how bad she wants the truck bed. Andy has lead on a truck a few miles away, a perfect candidate, pretty much a rusted out hulk but he's planning to try to flip it. I guess he doesn't remember how I helped him with his truck.

Ben, I depends who you're talking to. To the average person I suppose they think anything that eats hay is a hay burner but to dairy farmer a horse is a hay burner, something that consumes but doesn't produce anything. A big waste of hay to them.
