    I`m looking for a job ...

    I was told yesterday that my current position is being dissolved. I have been expecting this for a couple weeks now, but was verbally promised that I would be moved to another position that pays the same or more. The verbal promise has been broken and now I`m being offered an entry-level...

    My 48 Ford is still for sale ........

    I`ve been selling things on the internet ever since Al Gore invented it :) and I`ve had many broken promises in the past, that`s just the nature of the beast, I live and learn. I pride myself in knowing the difference between a buyer and a dreamer. Well boys, I fell for this one. He convinced me...

    Score !

    I found a pair of NICE chrome headlight bezels and trim rings and also a complete chrome instrument cluster for my 62 F100 today. All for $50. I`m still patting myself on the back. :D I also found (and bought) a Ford 427 factory aluminum intake :p I don`t need it, but got it cheap. ;)...

    Screw-On Moon discs.

    Has anyone ever installed a set ? I know that they make snap-on discs, but my son wants the screw-on type for a couple reasons. For one, he thinks the exposed screw heads look cool and hardcore and two, he`s worried someone will "jack" his discs in the high school parking lot (his words, not...

    Engine Mounts ?

    I`m installing a 302 in my 62 F100. Which mounting system is best - the side mounts that bolt to frame or the dropped-down tubular crossmember that welds in between frame rails ? Or is one just as good as other ?

    Your opinions requested on front suspension topic.

    My new project is a 62 Ford pickup. This thing is bone stock, straight axle and all. My goal is to update the front suspension for a better ride and to also lower the truck. I want disc brakes too. This is a true low-budget project so keep that in mind with your suggestions. I realize...

    Bought a new project today.

    `62 Ford UniBody (short bed). No motor or trans (I have a strong running small block Chevy waiting for a home). The body is VERY straight. The only rust is minor in the floorboard. I must admit - I stole it. $200 The funny thing is - there is a pair of `68 Camaro bucket seats in it that...

    Your thoughts, advice, opinions ?

    Current project : `48 Ford pickup. I have the body sitting on a `85 Chevy frame / suspension. To be honest, I really don`t like the way it sits. It is way too high for my liking and the wheels are sitting too wide. I`m just not satisfied. I have heard that an S10 frame would be a great option...

    Need some prayers.

    I need a favor from you RRR guys. My buddy and his family need your prayers right now. Scott and Melissa have been our good friends for many many years. We boat together, have been on several family vacations together, built many cars together and lately I`ve been helping Scott with his `67...

    Insurance : Fyi

    I read another thread here, talking about insuring these old cars. I just wanted to mention my experience. I used J.C. Taylor Insurance. A local independent agent wrote the policy. This policy was for my daily driver `67 Chevelle. This policy had an agreed value of $12,000. This is...

    Top chop on 48-52 Ford Pickup ?

    Anyone have any pics of chopped top on a 48-52 F1 ? I`d also love to see some step by step pics of a chop done on this year model. I`m thinking of doing my first chop and really need to build up more confidence. Pics would help. :)

    Thinking about putting an engine together tomorrow.

    I`ve got a bare 350 block sitting on a stand. I`ve got all the parts needed to assemble it. I`m thinking of getting up in the morning and putting it together. Trouble is ---- there`s so many other things I`d rather do ... like drink beer and watch football. :rolleyes:

    48 Ford PU on C10 Chevy chassis :

    This project defines low budget. This is my 14 yr old son`s. He paid $100 (lawn mowing money) for the cab / doors / front end. I had an `85 Chevy short bed truck that I was parting out. I donated the chassis towards this project. He sold the unwanted Ford fuel tank on Ebay for $100. So...
