The Lowe's store in my town was out of square drill bits, too!

And when are you going to return that lunch tray back to the school cafeteria?

Would be cool to have another KY Chapter meet and hang out.

Hey, Wes! Great to see you.

Yes, a meet and greet would be great. I'm actually a little more flexible than I used to be. We should try to get some folks together.

Yes. The body of the ashtray too. That is Motorcraft Argent. It was actually you that recommended it, or maybe endorsed it, in another thread.

I live where I work, and we have a dining hall. I found that tray in another building and picked it up to take it back. As you can see, it hasn't made it yet.
Technically, it has never left the property, so it's where it belongs.

yes, I did endorse it. I bought a can from my local Ford dealer. It does match perfectly. Before this I used Dupli-Color argent and the color matches but it is a little bit too metallic or shiny.

On my 54 I already have an interior dome light that came in Deluxe Cabs. And I have a transmission from from a 70 F100 and a glass pack instead of stock muffler..... almost there.

That was from a couple of years ago. It's the only picture of the dining hall I had handy.

You could also use that dining hall tray to sled down the snow covered hills!
