I'm no hair dresser, but I believe ...

Mr T wears a variation of a true Mohawk ... A true Mohawk is just a strip of hair front to back, the rest is shaved ...

A Pohawk is a Mohawk thats done with Jel and the sides are not shaved!

-Enjoy

Hm interesting, things have names, I thought a mohawk was a mohawk. I guess mine is a pohawk then. I can't shave my head it's to lumpy from hitting my head all the time so I'll end up with patches of hair here and there, the short hair looks much better. Mine did go all the way down the back, but I kept smashing it so it looked like I had a half mohawk half ponytail looking thing, so I cut the back part off. I had to make mine wider so I had enough hair to put in a mohawk. After years of dying my hair and heredity I'm already getting thin hair.

Sorry I can only post pictures on here not videos, it confuses my retarded computer.
Well I frikk'in love the two tone '68. That is why I went Ford years ago. My hair went white. Now I look like a Q-tip.

I used to wear a ponytail all the time, but I got tired of messing with it, so off it went.
I always told people my hair wasn't getting longer, it was just sliding back.......

FE, I'd keep that 68 after getting an engine in it. Those older F250's are still pretty darn good work trucks.

WOW! I just got awarded the premium membership from winning the round 3 contest, and what a difference it makes. No more ads taking up 1/2 the screen, green underlined text that causes an ad to popup if you accidentially move the mouse across, and best of all, it doesn't take 15-30 seconds between clicking a topic and the page responding.
I guess that seals it. When this premium membership is up for renewal, I won't hesitate to pay the fee.

Horsepuller I like the visual "I look like a q-tip" that's funny. Rogue I gotta remember that when I start going bald, my hair is falling back you guys crack me up.

I've had the 68 for over 10 years and it's just time to get rid of it. It's the same thing as my 86, they are great trucks when they work, but that isn't very often, both have been money pits and a pain in my butt. Makes me question getting another Ford truck. I'm not sure what I'll sell the 68 for yet, depends what I'm willing to let go of with it. I have a brand new left fender, have another cab corner to fixed the messed up one and have another box, thinking of keeping the box though, doubt I'll get $300 for it on top of what I'll sell the truck for. I'm keeping the 410 that is in there and throwing a 360 and C6 in there and not hooking it up so it'll have to be trailered. Amazing the tailgate is rusted to crap and bent up and it still works fine. The truck to me isn't that rusty, I've fixed worse. I'm guessing $500 for the truck with the cab corner and new fender and a few extra rims. I'll probably take less. I'm trying to get rid of both my bad trucks (though the 86 is working perfectly now) to hopefully get a good truck, not sure if I want a Ford or Dodge, we'll see what happens if I ever sell either of these trucks.

I should also mention that my dad is pulling what's left of his hair out about me selling my trucks and parts and some other parts I have. He wants to keep everything, I think I'm going to give him a stroke by the time I get rid of everything I want to.

On another note I did get my Falcon working, took 4 carbs and two rebuild kits to get one put together correctly and got it running pretty good. Then the starter went out, so whenever I get money again time for another new part, new parts fail on me left an right, very frusterating. I didn't get to drive the car enough yet for the new rings to seat so I still get oil blowby. Something neat about this car is there are no vacuum lines of any kind, this also has the early air cooled ford-o-matic and has no cooling lines. It also has been converted to the one wire altenator setup so there are literally five wires going through the engine compartment (not including spark plug wires). Nice and simple

Rogue that's good to know, so getting the premium membership is worth it, definitely need to save my money up for that then.

If that 68 wasn't so far away from where I live, I'd jump on it at $500, assuming it was able to start and run well enough to know the 360 & C6 was good.

Yes, the paid membership is well worth the money. Before, this site reminded me of the old 28.8 dialup days. Click a link, go refill your beverage. Click another link, and go flush you beverage down the toilet. Now, it's as snappy as my 6Mb/s DSL, and the threads are full page, rather than 1/3 page with ads taking up the rest of the screen.
I'll be a paid member for as long as I stay around these parts.

Heck, I'd love to get my hands on an older F250/F350 body in decent shape. That would make a perfect spot to drop in a 6.9/7.3 IDI and ZF, then add a turbo......
My first vehicle was a 70 F100, and I have always loved that bodystyle.

I know what it's like to have slow internet. My connection before was too slow to run this site, but now that we upgraded it's like 50 times faster and now I'm here annoying you all Pretty neat too it's based on radio waves, so it needs line of sight and there is a tower about 2 miles from me you can see easily on top of a silo. So we never lose signal, pretty sweet deal for living in the sticks.

Ya the 68 won't be running and driving, I am just going to throw and engine and tranny in it, I just don't want to **** with it anymore. The body isn't great on it, but it's not gone either. The dents on the passenger side look worse then the rust. Another reason I won't bolt the engine in is if it don't sell fairly quickly it's going in for scrap and I won't scrap FE parts. I hate to see the truck go that way as it is restorable and probably wouldn't take an insane amount of money to get it working again. The brakes still work on it and aren't locked up. The engine ran when pulled about 4-5 years ago and was covered the entire time so it didn't get wet or anything. Sadly the way my vehicles are selling It'll end up in the scrap pile, I hate seeing old cars get crushed, but I just don't have the room, time or money for this truck. What I need is a bigger shed then I wouldn't have to get rid of anything. I have some good stories about stuff this truck could do, but I just can't watch it sit and rot anymore.

I has ta hat hair.Always have,always will.lol.

Why do people always gotta mess with other's stuff?We have a not so good neighborhood on the back of our school,and unfortunately the Ag program keeps the animals right on the back lot by this neighborhood.Well, over the weekend some jackholes from the hood jumped the fence and threw a bunch of trash at the animals,and dumped sheep feed all over the sheep.This is about the 3rd time it's happened in the last couple years.We even have 8 foot fences surrounding the pasture but that's nothing for these skilled fence climbers.It's getting real old real quick.

Rant Over.
