Call me Elder Kevin

Nah. I'm not embarking on a Mormon mission. Just hit the 500 post mark and earned a new title. Only took 2 1/2 years since I'm not a terribly prolific writer. I'm out in my shed working on my truck instead of talking about it. And if you believe that ...

You awoke the Grand Mastas for this? A mere 500 posts?

"The Earl" and 'fenders can do 500 posts on a long weekend without even uttering the word Ford Truck.

Let there be silence from you Noob!

Been there, done that, got the tee shirt. No big deal and with that said I'm one post closer to a GURU. Now thats some hot *****.

Seriously congratulations and the check is in the mail.

Now see if you can avoid the pitfalls of falling off the face of the earth for nearly a year like I did and soon you will attain the most hign guru status. No I wasn't in jail.

Yah, Yah, that's great......


But in the time honoured 48-60 forum tradition of high jacking threads -

DARKMAN!!!

I noticed you back the other day!!! How ya been?

I know you're a cop. I know you live in Pennsacola, FLA.

I know Pennsacola had a bit of trouble with wind for a wee while this past summer.

How are you, the family and the truck?

With all that O.T. you got after that bit of wind, you'll be able to pay someone to finish your truck for you.

Seriously, how are you? Did you suffer any personal loss? I would hope not. We worried about at the time.

Kevin, Congrats on the 500 post milestone! I have your site bookmarked to keep my inspiration up when my resto-rod project seems to be dragging. I hope to meet you this year at the Supernats. Later Steve

Can I trade you a fender or something for about 400 posts? I used to have a lot of posts under my former name here, but I didn't post for a while, lost it, and couldn't get it back.

Counting my posts,

Paul

From those of us who are still relatively still fuzzy cheeked here,

Thanks to all you elder , postmaster, guru folks for keeping us on the path of proper Ford truckdom and for giving us a poke when we need it and a pat when that's needed too!

Congrats from a mere pup

Bubba



that's with 3 b's

Wink Here's to Kevin!

Great job Kevin! I still check your site weekly for updates. If I ever upgrade tranny's, you can have my original 53 3-speed. I have no intention of EVER reaching the 500 post mark. I haven't had the greatest luck with posting on this forum, but I still enjoy reading and learning from it.
