The orange ball is rumored to be back today. Don't forget about the all discounts today.

I worked about 9 straight hours yesterday around the property getting caught up since it has rained the past few weekends! I want the homestead to look nice for the holidays and when people come to visit after the wife has the baby.

When Mr. SUN finally got here I was able to get the wiper switch replaced and put some brighter LEDs in the dash.

Well guys, I am glad they are forecasting sunny this weekend. Youngest daughter is getting married Saturday at 3. It is an outdoor wedding. Wish me luck, hopefully My wife, and I will survive.

Chief, the floor looks good, and ditto on the yard work, not done here.

Big Texan, hope the hand heals fast, those are the worst when you use the hands for a living.


At least I got some grinding done on the bed repair. Long way to go.

Forecast is for sunny but it looks like old man winter is fixing to give us the first good slap of cold weather.
I am going to try and finally install the new grille on the 79 but I am not going outside when it's below 45 degrees. I hate winter..

Hey bob when you get done with your bed I will bring you mine to repair..

Now Jacob for the next week or so you know will hit that cut on eveything to remind you that you have it. Oh the battle scars of working on vehicles. Gotta love it.

Hi fellow GA FTEr's

I don't how many of your guys are near me but I am in middle GA. I have a lovely 1973 grabber blue 302 f100 long bed that I am working on. You can look at my gallery and see what I got. I have had it since last Easter. My end goal is to have a nice truck that has more character then the late model stuff that rolling down 75 that we see daily. Its my first truck, ford, and classic that I have had the pleasure of owning. I hope to swap the original 302 for a roller engine add a/c and an AOD transmission.

Right now, I have decided to swap the C4 for the aod since it seems like that will be the best bang for my buck.

Pepe da pickup.

I love the turbo. Advanced the pump timing today. Hit 70 no problem. Driving the same route I been using 60-65 uphill less than 2000 rpm. Checked MPG 17.5 not bad for a truck that weighs almost 7000#

That was the day after. Cut it Wednesday, and today I already have the scab. It went through the fat layer, and was about 1/4 wide when I pulled it open to look inside

This aint my first rodeo with a cut. Almost lost my middle finger with the half my pointer finger earlier this year. No big deal, I didnt loose them.

Its funny that everyone in the shop was worried about it, and Im yelling "im fine, I aint making any money standing around"

If you ever have a cut or gash that shop rag and black tape will not stop the blood flow. Pour sugar on it will clot right up. Been there done that
