We painted our truck Chili Pepper Red, but when it was all done it came out the color of a Jaguar sedan. So, when sombody asks me what that color is I reply Jag Red. Jag

PS: I always thought that mt54 was for mighty54.

I grew up in Nebraska and love football. If you meet those two requirements, then you are a die-hard University of Nebraska Cornhusker fan. (even though I played for a division II state school - I was a little too small to play for the U) I've since moved to California, but you can't take the Nebraska out of the boy. The Cornhusker mascot's name is Herbie Husker and that's where I get mine. The best thing is the personalized license plate on my '56....California license plate: HUSKR56.

GO BIG RED!!!!

I really have a thing for flathead fords (thus V8R). Infact after I quit drinking eight years ago I got a tatoo of an early ford V8 logo on my right shoulder to remind me every day that there are things that I want to accomplish in life such as rebuilding my old F-1 that I have had since 1985.

Dylan 1952 came from Bob Dylan the Iconic music legend. 1952 was the truck I restored.
The picture of Dracula; came from watching the great horror movie Dracula with my late father who taught me how to drive at age 14 his 1956 ford truck. I have a great authentic signature of Bela Lugosi(Dracula)and hope to find a 56 to restore.
