Hey, Im Josh from Conway Ark. I am building a 65 ford f100... looking to meet fellow builders and hope to get great advice and hope to give some good advice out. I know theres a group of people on here from conway, Im hoping to meet you guys and any one else who wants to introduce themselves!
Hey Josh, I am one of the ones on here from Conway... we will be meeting for breakfast next Sat(jul 12)... keep an eye out for a thread for the place...
Hey guys thanks for the invite, toadfrog nice truck! is that flat black? grumpy I was reading your info on your ride there, saw you had a 23 dollar paint job wondered if you went with the John Deere black? Im looking into that for my ride.
My 59 F-100 is painted with TSC JD Semi-flat black. If you can come to the Conway HAMB breakfast 8:00 sat morning.
We invite all HAMB'ers and car guys that know about the HAMB yet...... So come on to Bob's grill sat morning......
Anyone that can make it to the breakfast is welcome... we meet the 2nd Saturday of each month... right now we have been moving the place around a bit cause our regular spot closed up...
hey josh...............I am also working on a ford pick-up. Mine is a 66 SWB stepside. Just in the process of lowering it! 6 banger, 4 speed.
wow, nice to know there are some fellow ford guys out there. Ive been a member of ford truck enthusiast but its been dwindling down lately. I will try to be there, wont be in the old 65 though...she hasnt got brakes!! and I have a few things planned for the suspension so. im another month or more from driving it.
Thought I would post some pics of my ride...they are mostly older pics. http://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gallery/sizeimage.php? [img]http://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gallery/sizeimage.php?&photoid=189814&.jpg day I bought the truck Parts Truck...robbed the bed and the hood....Need a fender or heck how bout a truck!? Its sitting in storage at the moment. The guy in the pic is my father in law. engine back in the winter when building it.
I have some newer ones that show the truck with the new(old) bed. half of it has been sanded and quicky primed to get the old rust and paint off. minus that one bad fender on the passenger side. both front fenders are getting replaced. the Bed is rotted out, so im designing a tube frame to put in the floor and put a nice wooden bed on top of that. Once I get the new DJM i beams and disc brakes on, I plan on doing tons of body work. one thought if you havent guessed is JD Blitz Black. however my wife feels that it lacks sparkle... duh its semi gloss black. lol. by the way that engine is a mustang 5.0 converted to carb backed with a c6 auto. My father in law is building a 61 we bought with the other 2 trucks... it will be more of a in his words a "putt-er" it will be a neat old tyme truck, probably coated in a tsc truck and tractor paint..we are painting his motorcycle with it, it seems to cover really well.
Will do. How was the cook out? Hate I missed it but Im getting to do my first paint job on my father in laws motorcycle... so far so good... may post pics of it once I lay the black on tomorrow. Im surprised at what buying a good gun, good air tank, quality paint, and lots of reading how toos will do. It almost looks professional .
Cook out was good... turned out to be a great day and being able to drive the Model A was great... except for the little bit of rain coming home... but it cooled things off a bit...
I'm here in morrilton. Sorry I couldn't make it to the breakfast, but I had to work. I'm going to try to be there next month, if I can get off of work. I'd really like to meet you guys.
After breakfast, several of us came through Morrilton on the way to Petit Jean Mtn... Hope you can make is next month... We have also started a new 'social group' with the new HAMB... Just look up Arkansas HAMBers and join in... should be a good way for us all to get connected...
Hello from Greenbrier, though I travel a bit and am presently out of the country. I have a '61 UNI, for sale.... The pic of your parts truck, that would not have happend to have been taken at Mr. T's place out Whooly Hollow way???
