Northwest Newb to site
Hey everybody!! As you might see from the AV, we're Wade and Roselie. We've got a few projects in work. A 61' Ford Econoline that's nearly complete, minus some of the interior upholstery. It's been parked for the past couple of years, but I try to take her out at least once or twice... A 54' Ford F100 has been used as a makeshift donor for my 55' project. The 54' will be put together again later to be used as a local cruiser with power steering, power brakes, and the auto for the lil' lady to drive....unless she changes her mind again....
Current labor of love, sweat, tears, and bad language from time to time... a 55' Ford F100. Chassis and drivetrain has been gone through completely. Working on the cosmetics now. Body work is coming along a little at a time....but still taking it to shows cause it's a driver!!Engine is a 223c.i. - six cyl. and using the automatic for now until I go through the three speed -w overdrive. Plans are to keep it basically stock appearing, other than the smoothie wheels, and maybe a monoleaf setup later on.
Having to do all the work myself because building my new shop last summer used up the extra $$$.... It'll probably never be any kind of major show winner or anything like that, but we're having fun all the same...
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
