My poor slicks!!!

So I had to move from Santa Rosa, California to Spokane, Washington this summer and I had too many projects to move all the way up here. I had to leave my two slicks (as well as my Fairlane and Customline) in Klamath Falls, Oregon with my Dad. I showed up for the Thanksgiving holiday to find my slicks covered. I am hope I can get them moved soon, kills me to see them out there in the elements like that. BTW, the 72 F100 is my Dad's. I gave it two him after the California DMV tried to get 700 bucks back reg on it (only paid $200 for it).

Not a good way to store 'em but sure makes for a nice picture. Will have to use the first one for my wallpaper on the computer. I would be more than happy to give the 66 a warmer home back in San Jose.

You should be ashamed of yourself,,,,, I just might have to call TPS and report you!!
TPS (Truck Protective Services kinda like CPS,,, but for trucks!) Hmmm wait a minute,,, I think I am a member of TPS,,, YEP sure am,,, I guess I will need to come take them into protective custody!! tsk tsk tsk
I think I will start a foster truck group for transgressions such as these!
(says the guy with 6 trucks and only one covered!!)
I feel your pain!

Keep perusing Craigslist for 66-67 T-birds, sometimes you can find them cheap and the owner doesn't know what engine it has. Look for the Q in the VIN.

Nice shop Hooch!

What is it, approx 60 x 40? Did you build or was it there?

With a larger lot and home I would assume you are a bit away on outskirts of Spokane?

When do you plan on getting the Slicks home?

They are approx 10hrs or so each way from here?

Yes, shop is 60x40, was already here. Indian Trail area of Spokane.

Hope to get slicks (plus Fairlane, Customline, and 63 Galaxie) over the course of next spring and summer. About ten hours is right (add 3+ if traveling with my wife and kids)
