Darksiders eat their young, use GM parts, drown puppies and never call their moms.

Darksiders manifest themselves as serial killers, postal workers and always playing right field.

Don't become one. Be a Ford man--through and through. Friends don't let friends power their Fords with....well, other than Fords.

And here I thought I just did those things for recreation.
I had no idea it was connected to the Ford Truck Hobby.

firstly... Who's Webster ???? and does he have pictures of his truck in his gallery


secondly... Peter, your old sage. your legend as a truckbuilder is only exceeded by your mastery of the written word ( and your memory) I bow before your keyboard !


thirdly... those of us that live on the darkside know the secret of the cookies and will only share that secret with those new travelers that we deem worthy of the cookies. The cookies aren't something that can be searched for. The cookies are just there ... they will let themselves be found when they feel you are ready (usually at a rare existential level of darkside modification) some religions call it Nirvana. And if you try to hold onto them? they are gone. all the ones that you see that disappear ?? where do they go ??? good question... CIAF (Jon) ate them..I saw the crumbs on his shirt

fourly... there are different levels of the darkside and while the purist (restorers) can only see over the fence to the first level (where you only put radial tires on your truck) and get a faint whiff of cookies baking. those of us who breath in the darksider, who let it fill our lungs go on to visit other deeper tunnels that twist and turn and double back. i.e. Fenders with flames..Fenders without ..a definate switchback. Niolon with Volare ... Niolon with Mustang II not a switchback but a profound wandering. Nathan with a stock frame...Nathan with late model frame. Personally I think he just hit his head on something looking for the dang cookies. This is one of the lures of the darkside (besides the cookies) the chance to try other interesting things... it's a place that the purist will never know...so sad It's a siren song that only a choice few hear. (It's got a good beat and you can dance to it... I'd give it a 9)


fively... it's not a bad thing to be a darksider.. don't let your children be afraid of him... he's just another weird guy that likes old trucks. Why I even heard of one darksider that actually put a Mercedes deisel in his traveler. Now that's on the other side of dark ! But he might have been breathing in something other than the darkside !

Sometimes at night I sit leaning against my cow cooker and stare into the dark universe wondering if Fenders is painting flames on military transport vehicles on Oribian 5 or which stretch of terestial autobahn that Kai is terrorizing now. They are not all shooting stars that you see at night. If it's quiet and you listen you can hear the burnouts. I miss those guys. thanks Peter for mentioning their names.

later
john,

I'm guilty on all counts....except for the serial killer and postal worker part...however, I did work for the government at one point for six years (kinda like being a postal worker) and I thought I would need a hobby for retirement...serial killer....who knows.

As for being a darksider I think by the time I'm done my '48 will be Cajun style...

I don't remember how I got them but I've had that box for years. I used to have a few show winning '67 Mustang Fastbacks and I'd guess my wife saw the cookies and bought them for my shop.
