Newbie From Va.

Post by VABowler »

Hello all. Just found this site last night. I actually was looking for a place that might have a way to do some visualizing so I could try some paint ideas I have. BTW, is this available here? Anyway, after looking around some I decided to join in.
Just for the record, I'm the PROUD owner of a 1970 Ranger XLT. Although it looks rough for now, I've spent quite a bit of bucks putting on fresh parts to keep it roadworthy. You know the drill. Anyway. just stopped in the introduce myself and say Hi. I look forward to navigating this site and learning all I can from everyone here. And maybe, I can help some too. :thup:

Welcome from California! Feel free to browse around the site - tons of info.

What colors were you thinking about for your truck? I have lots of color combo's in cartoon form on my CafePress site - the link is in my signature below.

Post up some pix of your ride when you get the chance.

Thanks all for the welcome and the how do's. And Mugwump, I am heading for your link as soon as I post this. The old girl has 2 tones of green now.( Looks like New Lime and Cactus Green judging by the paint samples I found in the brochure listed on the 1970 Ford Lituature page in the site announcements ) Thinking about a gloss black for the exterior along with a nice argent and black scheme for the interior. I saw some wheels that i liked on the Cragar Wheel site. They were silver D window style. Thought they would look sharp with the afore mentioned color idea. I am always open for suggestions though.

67 mann, bowling " Lefty " is better than paying for a sub. It hurts more when you have to pay and don't play.
