Another H-town newbie
Hello everyone. I just want to introduce myself. I have always been a car guy, but I am no expert. I worked a little in body shop back in H.S. days (over 25 yrs ago). I do have knowledge, just not a lot of experience. I just bought a wrecked 68' F100 SWB. It was hit hard in the front. Frame actally ripped. So, I have aquired a 67 frame w/ title, needs a bit of work. Also, found clean 67 front clip. I have a 92 5.0 w/ 5spd, so will be using that.
Tried to post picture, but says file too large??

Re: Another H-town newbie
also from the Houston area!
Come join us sometime at Otto's BBQ Saturday Night Cruise-In at 11222 Fountain Lake Drive in Stafford. I'll post the new theme night schedule when it becomes available sometime this month. We'll probably start the meets again soon, whenever the weather will be nice and above about 60°. Truck Night, '60's Night, '70's Night, and Ford Night usually has myself and a couple of the other Houston bump owners in attendance!

Re: Another H-town newbie
Ozblitz, I posted the new schedule for Otto's Saturday night cruise-in on the Shows & Events forum. I will likely be there on '60's Night, Truck Night, Mustang Night, and Ford Night. Hope to see you there!
