Got the '66 almost back together. Even polished up the grill. Now I won't need to turn the headlights on. It wore me out so I think nap is in order!

That's ok, Steve.Just make sure the tracking device is destroyed and give it a proper burial (cremation is ok too) The feds have been giving me grief about not having a proper license for that anyway...

Steve, want to take a road trip sometime to Penn Yan? If I remember beyond CRS there are some 66's over there. I think I have a 66 door in my stash and son bought some new door paddings/panels.

Ken, according to Ford's website these are the dimensions.

Edge Length - 188.1" Width - 78.4" Height - 68.6"

Flex Length - 201.8" Width - 75.9" Height - 68.0"

Explorer Length - 198.3" Width - 82.5" Height - 70.0"

So your memory is correct, the Flex is 3.5" longer than the Explorer.

One of my customers was the Head of School at Northfield Mount Hermon School. He was personal friends with Edsel Ford II who recommended he check out the Flex. He and his family absolutely loved it...came back and leased a second one. Of course...the school paid for the lease.

Thought you were shopping/looking/dreaming/thinking ahead....or

Looked at a nice 96 F250 S Cab the other day. 82,000 miles which is 10,000 less than my 87

Off to get the wife's car from the recall. Should be done by now, But, will call first.

Always dreaming....lol.

Ironically my '10 has just a couple of hundred under 82K on the clock now. Heading over to Geneva after work to get the oil changed in it at the dealer. I figure that while it is under warranty, may as well have them do the basics so if anything does arise, they can't blame anyone else.
