Looking for a place where there is little to no snow, no tornadoes, no flooding, no forest fires, hurricanes....you get the picture. I want to drive the trucks year round....lol

No flooding, tornadoes seem to go around us, too far inland for hurricanes, never know about forest fires...Bikers seem to ride year 'round.

My brother lives in Albuquerque where Bobbytnm and AlbuqF1 live. Pretty much the best of everything. They do get some snow (but mostly in the mountains), no flooding, very little humidity, no hurricanes, and even in the summer it gets cool at night. About the best area that I know of, and several old Ford people there already!

Seeing as the gallery pics of my panel build has been deleted from the powers that be I thought I'd show a little something I did on the panel here. When I bought this Holley system I purchased it in the Satin finish to save what would have been an extra $1000 by the time it arrived with the exchange rate. I was a bit disappointed in the satin look because it was more of a rough sand casting. So seeing as both projects are finished I thought I'd try and make some improvements on it's looks.
This is how it turned out, required much sanding and probably could have had more but decided I had enough sanding to suit me...lol

I was wondering if the old ram horn style exhaust manifolds would bolt up to the Vortec heads..might be making some modifications to the front cross member and need more room for my steering...
