New member from Nebraska

Post by rsjoons »

Iam glad to be a new member and want to say that I find this site very interesting and informational. I was absolutely DUMBFOUNDED when I was looking on here as a non member a few weeks ago and found a photo gallery and write up on a 1971 F100 that I purchased back in July (2011). I couldnt believe it. On the Home page if you click on Photo Galleries and then go to the very bottom of the page, its the truck marked Low-Mileage1971 Ford F-100 Custom LWB Gallery. I must say it is a beauty and looks even better. The old man that owned it let it sit outside for almost a year and the paint started to fade and it got light hail damage. Its been in the body shop since September and is almost done. Complete repaint and new tires and front and rear window moldings. I will have some questions for some of you Pros out there later and will post new pics when done. The story the man who posted the pics and original info. on was accurate. Bye for now....and I'm looking forward to being a member now. I have a few friends who are current members and been bugging me to join.

Hey there! I'm the guy who did that write-up and took those gallery pictures. Let me tell you, you have one of the cleanest bumpsides I've run across in a long time! Congratulations, and welcome to the site and forums. Did you buy this one from the ad in the Omaha World-Herald?

So where in Nebraska are you from? I'd love to check out the work you're doing sometime.

To the Administrator.. I am from Omaha and ran a WTB ad on Craigslist and his son called me. I was getting tired of all the crazy calls and junk people were trying to sell me when I was specific on what I was wanting. Finally, I reluctantly returned a voice mail (thank God I did) when this guy said my Dad has a truck I'd think you would be interested in. I just took the new tires to the body shop today cause the wheels just got refinished..WOW!! is that thing gorgeous! Can you tell me how one sends a private message on here to an individual? I would like to ask you some questions without boring all other members.
