Im new here but not to forums, ive been on two small engine forums, one for riding mowers and modding them (yes there is such forum
) and a go kart forum, just because a few friends are there. Been on them for over 2 years so i get the hole being nice and forum humor, but each is different in what goes and doesnt, so ill just watch and see what the vibe is here. Little bit about myself, im 17 going into senior year in early September, usually dreaming in class about all the cool projects id wish to have work on and enjoy.... I personally havnt every been very "branded" with old vehicles, like mid 80's and under, ill take whatever, my truck just happened to show up, and i bought it (ill talk about it later). I like all kinds of vehicles! Large or small cars, 4 or 10 cylinders, crew cab or single, carbbed or efi, lowered or lifted, ratty or show truck, i dont care, and most of all i can appreciate someones hard work even if it might be goofy looking...
My dad nut and bolt restored a '69 rag top lemans in the 80's-90's and sold it a few years after he completed it. I live in the finger lakes region of new york since i was like 5, and we have a 2 bay garage, nothing fancy here! Sure we have more tools then the average, and some specialty tools not many have, like pullers engine hoists, torque wrench, average gear head spot.
I got the truck in june for $1K across town from a redneck and brought it home with some hot rodding things in mind. Its 2wd so i wasnt going to lift it. I knew about the hole gas monkey deal, so i thought a lowered f100 with new drivetrain would be sweet, so thats the direction. Truck has rot in the pans, mounts, and bed, but otherwise its straight. Musta been a heavy duity tow package, its got a 9", c6, and 360, witch was the main reason i got it. He just re did all the brakes on it so i felt a little bad taking all that off.... a little.
Ill start up a thread more in detail! I was wondering what you guys prefer about large amount of pics? Doesnt look hard to upload them, just i have aound 20-30 to post in the begging to get everyone up to date.
Thanks!
