Hello!
Greetings everyone. My name is Gerry, though my good friends call me G. I just bought a 1968 Ford F100 Custom Cab from a friend with intentions of spending the next 10 or so years restoring it. The engine is very strong, though cosmetically it is in dire need of a makover. Beyond doing routine maintenance on my everyday vehicles I am not necessarily mechanically inclined. I've always wanted to get an old vehicle and restore it, so at 40 something years of age I am fulfilling one of my life's dreams. I have found the posts on this forum very informative and hope to take advantage of all of this available knowledge. It will be a pleasure talking in the near future. Thanks in advance. I have posted my first "before" picture" Take care.
G
