New From Michigan

Hi All,

My name is Connie and I am (like the name would suggest) the widow of a 79 Ford Enthusiast. My husband -- funny story this is-- purchased a 79 Ford F-150 Ranger on our honeymoon. He fell in love with this vehicle as we were coming back from Mackinac Island and a week later we were driving half way back up north to pick it up.

Sad part was -- on the way down, the engine started knocking, so we had to have it towed back to his parents house.

Now, the engine is fixed, however the hubby found out that the trans is cracked, so here we are.

He works all day and my job is pretty slow right now, so I look for stuff for the truck for him while he's working.

Other than that, I'm a full time student so my husband works on his truck almost daily trying to get it done before we move to Colorado at the end of next month.

We both look forward to chatting with all of you.

Regards,

Connie
