please give a warm welcome to our newest member 78Bruiser-give it up for the new guy

 

welcome aboard! pull up a chair & tell us about yourself!

 

Thank You!! Well I am a Central New Yorker transplanted to Southern MD enlisted in the U.S. Navy(14yrs and counting). I love Fords mainly the classics. I built and raced a '00 mustang and when my new bundle of joy came into the world my loving Wife told me to get rid of the car. After some tears the car was sold and I found the '78 F100 for $500 and I was given the go ahead. My step Grandfather was a Ford man working with Geof Bodine during his dirt years and I don't even have a clue of how many years as a Ford Parts manager. I learned all about the classics from Grandpa traveling to car shows and working on Mustangs, Trucks, and His pride and joy The Galaxy. I guess you could say I have Ford Blue running in my veins.

 

Welcome, glad to have ya.
