Hey ya'll just thought I would say hi. I am a high school automotive instructor and an avid car Tinker. I am a christian and I have just acquired my first Ford 1970 Custom F-100. I may be asking a lot of questions. so pleas ebe patient with me, most of my previous projects have been old muscle cars and some OBD II racing vehicles. Anyway I hope to post pictures later as we are just starting the project.
Thanks,
Newbie from Mississippi

re: Newbie from Mississippi
Hello and Welcome from Wisconsin!!!!
Is your F-100 a school project or your own.
When i was in High school our shop teacher had us rebuild a Farmall A.
He made us make the phone calls for parts, figure out costs, what could be repaired, what had to be replaced, and so on.
We were so busy having fun rebuilding that tractor, we didn't realize everything that we were learning along the way. IE: bartering skills, labor/repair vs. replacement costs, people skills in general, budgeting for a business, and working together.
Ask every question you can think of. Someone will have the answer.
