Afternoon All,

I've been lurking for some time now, and I have to say, you've helped me a bunch already. I've learned a whole bunch about my truck just by listening to your successes and failures with your own.

I'm new to the old Ford restoration process, but not new to restoring vehicles. About a year ago, I finished restoring my '70 Olds Cutlass to very near stock condition. I got the bug again recently, and bought an incredibly rusted 56 F100, a truck I have loved the lines of since I was a kid. My dad is semi retired, and we share a love and background in the automotive field, so we decided to take on another project.

I'm going to be one of those darkside guys, I guess. There will be a 5.0 Coyote engine going in with a 5 speed Tremec tranny (which I could only afford due to an unexpected windfall). Anyway, just wanted to say hello, I'll post some pics as soon as I figure out how to use this site. Better with wrenches than computers, I guess.

Bruce

 

Your in the right place, have you checked out the "build thread" at the top of the page? A lot of talented people here.

 

Welcome to FTE! We love pictures, it feeds our addiction.

Here's one way to post pics:

Go to Photobucket and sign up for a free account. Then create an album for your truck. Upload any pics you want to post on FTE to that album. Have this album open on your computer when you want to post pics on FTE.

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...ghtsafter1.jpg

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.

 

Thanks for the welcome, I have seen the build threads, and I agree with the comment
about the talent on the forum.....impressive.

Here's my first attempt at a post, I guess you could say I rescued it, not much good left....

Id just like to give you a warm FTE welcome, Im not doin much do to my truck lately do to health stuff, so following what others are doin fills that void untill I can get back under mine. That said Im very much looking forward to watching your build. As you probably already know there is nothing we cant learn to do with the help of others

 

Heres your pic

 

Welcome to FTE Bruce! There are many friendly folks here with a wealth of knowledge and a love of the old iron! Thanks for sharing the pic of your '56 and your plans for her. Coyote 5.0 and a Tremec 5 speed will be an awesome combination. Looking forward to watching your progress.

 

 

Welcome, it is hard to tell from the picture how bad that the rust is. Lots of parts for the 56's out there including patch parts. Good luck with it and welcome to the darkside.

 

Looking forward to your build. Welcome on board.

 

Welcome to the board!!

We're glad you found our little neck of the net. There's lot of nice folks here who are more than willing to give advice, etc. If you really want some responses just post a thread an ask for our opinion...LOL....we love sharing our opinions.

Do you still have the Cutlass? I've always liked those cars

Bobby

 

Thanks for all the welcomes, I have lots of pics, and will post them as I go, or start
a build thread. Still have the Cutlass, too much into it to sell, so I have to keep it
forever now. It's my daily driver in the summer months.

Doesn't look too bad in the pictures! Looking forward to watching the progress.

It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).
