It has been a long time
Sorry for not hanging out but life has been crazy...
It has been a long time since I have had time to post here.
My life has really taken some turns. I have re-married to a great women and we have bought our first house together. Shortly after we married My father-in-law got cancer and passed and we spent a lot of time driving to and from Las Vegas I changed jobs due to the employer I worked for went under and my new job requires a lot of traveling in fact I am in Seattle this morning and will travel home this afternoon.
My truck is coming along nicely, I am finally going to install the manifold I bought at the last swap meet I went to with Mike and Dan. I decided to make a larger project out of it and have purchased a new carb, cam, ceramic coated headers and have ported and polished a set of heads that go in to the machine shop on Tuesday. My wife bought me a new instrument panel from Dennis Carpenter for my birthday that I also need to get installed.
I had the truck painted about a year ago and had the upholstery done a spray in bed liner and last year the wife bought me a bed cover for it. I love my wife she is the best.
Hope to be more active and I am going to try and make Mickey Groove this coming April.

Wow, it has been a long While, Jon!
Sounds like you got a keeper! Any woman that buys you stuff for your truck shows promise.
When are we putting all the toys on it? An install demo at Micke Grove?

I was hoping to have the engine work done by than but it might be tough to do if they keep sending me out of town.
It may have to go the way it sits.
I put it in the Graffiti car show last year but I didn't care for the people that surrounded us they were a bit stuck up and kept bragging about the $150,00.00 they had dumped into their car. I believe that Elite F-100 is mostly self built drive way kind of people.
