Long time Reader, First time Poster

Hello, been lurking around reading for a while, figured I had better get this first post out of the way. I am blessed with a 1974 Ford Bronco Ranger, Completely original and stock with 302, automatic C4, power steering and we don't need no stinking power brakes. I also have a 2002 Ford Excursion Limited w/ the V10 gas hog 4X4 as well. Surprisingly, when I want to save gas, I take the Bronco! Thanks for the message Sean, I just found it, and perhaps I will be able to make it out to Long Beach on May 4th.

No, it's all local. We pick up the finished product at the racks and take it to the gas stations. Chevron 76 Vons, Sams clubs, that kind of thing.
