Weather has been nice, except this week its been a little breezy, but seems windy only when I want to work.

Goodmorning everyone,

Hope you have a Blessed Sunday

Just gotta love puppies at 4:30 in the morning.

I received an email from Bruce. Apparently his computer isnt allowing him to sign onto FTE, so thats why he's been missing in action. However, a special thank you to Greg for stepping up to fill in.

Yesterday, Jimmy & I went to a friends shop down the road to check out some of thecclassic cars he's restoring. Jimmy saw his 67 Mustang &
asked about. By the time we left, they had struck up some kind of a deal. Our friend needs some motorcycle parts & welding done. So, we'll have another project to work on soon!

Enjoy your day!

 

Good morning Nevada, happy Sunday! Donna, nice Mustang! I have a 68, you guys will enjoy that!!

 

Hey everyone,

Pkease give a warm welcome to our newest Chapter member....
John In Vegas. Welcome to our craziness!

Please introduce yourself & tell us more about you & your vehicles. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. If one of us don't have the answer, we'll refer you to someone who does.

Again...welcome aboard!

 

Thank you. I am John in Vegas and currently have 2 F250s, a 73 with a 360 and T-18, and a 93 extra cab, 7.5 auto. The 73 has a few problems with the engine, its missing and there is valve tapping. Still runs and I didn't pay very much for it. I was looking thru C/L for a travel trailer and came across a 75 slide in camper for cheap, so the whole set up is kind of a vintage match. I bought the 93 because I didn't want to trust that engine for travel. Well I was browsing for an engine, I came across the 93 with a 7.5 for a little more than an engine so I thought what the heck. I knew the 460 would get worse mileage, but was I surprised just how terrible! Oh well, at least now I have something to tow with if I decide to get a huge trailer.
I like Jeeps and dirt bikes and have too many of those too.
I am looking forward to contributing some of my limited Ford knowledge and gaining even more from the Ford crowd here.

Welcome aboard John!

I was able to get the Bronco tub in primer and started blocking it out. Plan is to have all the jambs painted next weekend so I can hang the doors and start blocking them into the rear quarters!!!

 

Good morning Nevada, hope the weekend went well! Dave, truck is looking awesome!!

 

Morning FTE Nevada family and friends. I hope everyone has a great day.

Hey Pat, looks like Dave is a bit ahead of you on his project. You better get to work
Dave, looking good man.

 

Yeah, he's just a tad bit ahead.......like years ahead.....LOL!

Morning Greg, how was your weekend?

 

My weekend was decent. Minion had a friend sleep over, so the giggles echoed through the house non-stop. Always makes be smile to hear her laugh and giggle.

I have a 4 gauge 1970 cluster for the truck on the way that should arrive today or tomorrow. I am hoping it will fix my speedo and fuel gauge issues. Only other thing would be the gear in the transmission. I plan to grab a new voltage regulator for it before installing the cluster, just to be sure.

You will have to let me know when you get around to going through those boxes. With the weather changing I don't know if you ran heat for the shop yet.

 

I'm going to pick up a propane heater this weekend. Just started getting things welded back together. If I can most of it in, in the next few weeks, I'm hoping to mock up the 79 dash, to make sure it's all going to work!

 

I am eager to see pics of the dash mock up. Glad to see you are not going to let something silly like weather stop you.

 

Well, I should be able to work, until it gets really cold. I'm debating wether I should wall off the one bay of the garage with plastic or not.

 

Speech day...and I'm not even close to being prepared this time since I was out sick past two weeks. UGGGGGHHHH!!! Nuff said.

 

Good morning Nevada, welcome to Tuesday!


Mat, good luck, man. I HATE speaking in front of people!
