Going to do a small dump run today to get rid of some stuff that I picked up on sunday.
Interesting is more fun.
I hauled a couple of loads of mulch for a customer than 3 loads of base gravel for my son.

I've got it running pretty good now but still has a little miss in that one cylinder that has the lowest compression..
I hope my 302 will be ok in my 53 M100 resto rod after sitting for about 5-6 yrs, at least it`s been under cover the entire time.

I need that for my old trucks, any particular brand that is better Colin?

Speaking of interesting, this is what I dragged home the other day










Its a Ford, has 4 doors and a few bullet holes in it, still enough metal to shape it into a decent body shell. It won't be staying a touring car but will be some sort of vehicle when I decide what to do with it.

That a neat start of something pretty cool Perry, especially if you leaving the bullet holes.
May always seems to go by fast, I like it better than when winter drags on tho.
Hello Grant, what`s powering your 56?
John, you have a 351 in your F100?

Turns out that my Ford Touring car is an 1920s Overland Touring car. I am now further educated.

I`m pretty sure that`s more rare and it can be Ford powered.

Good evening folks,

Life is getting interesting around here again unfortunately, may be time to play out my options.

Overland is part of the *****'s family and technically it could be said that I have a ******, can put a Ford into anything.

May be seeing some overnight thunder storms during the next few days.
