Happy Hump Day afternoon all. Got to work this morning at 7:20 and 2 driver's were waiting for me to let them in. They know 7:45 at the earliest. I like to sit in my van, listen to talk radio, and enjoy a smoke. They buggered up my whole day. It can end soon enough. Have a good one guy's.

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good day.
Another nice day here which I spent chasing down another 64 Ford, this time a Galaxie 500 2dr ht that`s between a fairly good parts car or a poor resto project. Once I get it home, hopefully tomorrow, I`ll decide which way to go. Likely it`ll end up being another big money pit.

Hi Morris. No new projects here. I'm trying to cut down, although I guess I'm always looking. The weather here for the last couple of weeks has been great. Can feel some real warmth in the sun now.

Evening everyone! So I found some tickets to go see Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line and Tyler Farr live in Winnipeg in October!! Might have paid a little extra to get good tickets but it was a my anniversary gift to my girlfriend and she is worth the extra money . Enough with the mushy stuff, I'm excited for mud too! I love getting my truck dirty but I hate cleaning it after words . I wish I could just pay someone to do a reaaallllllyyyyyyyy good job at cleaning but that would never happen. I should hopefully have my lift kit and have it installed on my truck by the end of this month, if all goes as planned. Only problem is I keep changing my mind on what size of lift I want. Any recommendations?? I know most of you guys are old as dirty but back in the your younger days how much lift would you chose. Sorry for the old crack guys I just in a good mood if you cant tell.

Oh and Morris, congrats on your new Galaxie

Thanks, now I have to decide how much money and time I want to sink into it. If not it`s a heck of a good parts car.
I really like seeing a lifted F350 but for my personal driver I like little or little lift, my 2012 FX4 F150 isn`t bad but some days I`d prefer a lowering kit for easier access to the box.

I Know you feel about ease of access to the box. My 2010 F150 had 6" in lift and I was so glad I had the tail gate step but loading stuff into the back was still a chore. My F350 stock tail gate is probably an 1" lower at most so lifting it is going to be a big pain the butt for loading stuff. That is the big reason why I can't decide on what size of lift I want. I would love a 6" lift and 37s or 38s but that is going to be a big pain to load and unload stuff.

Kind of a cool dreary day here, woke up to a covering of snow but it didn't stay long. Now I think I am coming down with the flu the wife and kids had this week.
