I met Darth Vader

I am in the teardown phase of my 1952 F-3 and am working on finalizing my build plan. Just as I have settled on what I want to do with the old girl, Darth Vader comes over and sits next to me while sitting around the fire at Truckstock. He also goes by the screen name of ford-fun, this guy is so "dark" that I was urning for cookies right there and then! "Darth" drives the yellow '54(?) with the red rims that is in the pictures from Truckstock and is one of the nicest examples of new/old grafted together that I have seen in person. Then he pulls out his phone and takes me through many images of total darkness and I have since been feeling the force pulling me in......Help me!
Thanks ford-fun for turning my build plan upside down, I'm going to need a bigger cookie jar now

There was some bad influence at Truckstock.

Cookies AND bikinis?... Oh my!!!

That FunFord likes his Crown Vics. After sampling several trucks at Truckstock I think a hotrod in the shed with the mostly stock F3 might look pretty good.

You're toast with these influences...if the cookies didn't do it, the bikinis will put you over the edge.

Go buy a small block ford!!! Or maybe a big block???
