Thumbs up WELCOME Pa&Nic51

Welcome to the best ford truck site on the net. As soon as you can start your gallery with pictures. Show progress of your work. Everybody here loves pics. If you need help with anything ford people on here will offer help and opinion.

Glad to see you have a 51, a very good year IMHO ! ! ! When you get a chance put your location in the upper right corner. Helps when you want something to know where you are located

Enjoy
