Hi all,
I am a 72 year old Australian who spent his younger years wasting his wages on building/modifying cars and has now volunteered to help my son rebuild his 1964 f100 truck.
I have joined the group because here in Australia we do not have any groups or clubs that have ford trucks. Parts are no existent and info for rebuilds the same.

My partner lives in Illinois and on my last 2 visits I manage to locate a brake master and all the relevant plumbing and then next trip all the body rubbers windscreen doors etc..and carried them back as luggage as the shipping costs to here are exorbitant.
Now we take on the rebuild and this is where I will need help fro the members.

Hopefully with some help we can get this beastie up running and back on the road where it belongs.

Thanks
Wizzard

Cool!

Looking forward to pictures!

I've carried some weird stuff on planes before, so I totally understand!

Welcome aboard!
