I found my way back

Hey guys, I found my way back. I joined in 2007 and was fairly frequent for awhile then for some reason I quit logging on and lost touch. my last activity was meeting a few of you at the F 100 nationals in Pigeon Forge for a group photo in 2010 or 2011.

I still have my Yellow 55 f 100 and drive it regularly. In November I purchased the 1951 F1 pictured below.

I have been wanting to log in for some time but because I was absent for so long my profile was locked and I had to request a password from the forum administrator. Sorry I lost touch and I hope to see some posts from familar people along with the new members too. Sorry the picture is so large it is all i had at the moment.

Rick

Welcome back. That is a nice looking 51. But you have to show us pics of your 55 to jog our memory.

How goes it Rick. Glad to see things are still well for you. The F100 Nationals has moved to Lebanon, TN a small town east of Nashville.

Tacson - thanks for the post, hope all is well for you also.
I actually checked on the nationals today, to see how far Lebanon is from Florida and from that past location in Pigeon Forge. ill probably pass this year as I have family commitments the week before and week after the weekend of the nationals. My current plans are to do the long haul of the Hot Rod Power Tour, Wisconsin to Louisiana the first week in June. I did the Power tour in 2011 Cocoa Beach Fl. to Detroit Mi. and its about time for me to do another road trip.

Just wanted to say welcome back! I Love both of your trucks, but given the choice...I would need you to relieve yourself of the '51 I want it.
