4th bump, but new to Fordification

Post by rinobump »

I bought my first bump in 1993, a 1970 f250 longbed with a 390 and c6. I put some miles on her, she never let me down. I sold her to buy my 70 mach 1. Boy was that a fun car ! We got pregnant and I thought I needed to "grow up" so I sold the mach 1 for a sum of $4200 in 1995 and bought a ..........4cyl dodge caravan. This thing couldn't get out of its own way. Time went by and a few mustangs went by (66 hardtop, 68 hardtop, 2005 mustang), my daughter grew up and I figured out I wasn't ready to let the classic car thing go just yet. So in April of 2011 I bought another 1970 f250 longbed with a 390 and auto trans. Drove it, fixed it up a bit and traded it for a 67 f100 that someone put an interceptor in, as well as floor shifter. Then guess what ?? Wifey became preggers again. Only this time I sold the truck so I could buy a 1970 f100 custom with the 360 and the T18. Baby Chloe was born in November of last year. And I still have the f100, no mini van baloney this time ! I have been reading this forum for almost two years. Figured I would join and be able to say hey and ask a question or two. Hope to talk to you soon....

Welcome and congrats on the little one! Two solutions for your picture problem. One, crop or resize them in an image editing program, or upload them to a hosting service like photobucket. Flickr makes it too hard to directly link to them, so I don't bother.

Make a Photobucket upload all your pics there, then copy the image code and paste it here.
