Hi everybody. Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I'm a life long Blue Oval nut and recently picked up a 67 Ranger. I've been messing with cars my whole life, but this is by far the biggest project I've ever tried to tackle. I'm not looking for a show truck out of this pile, but hope to at the very least make it a reliable enough truck that I can use it when I need it.
I'm sure I will have a ton of questions at some point, but I have been lurking for a few months and trying to absorb what I can.
Greetings from the home of the Dragon

Re: Greetings from the home of the Dragon
from right down the road from you here in choo-choo town. We just had a meet and greet up there in your neck of the woods, (hopefully 1st annual)).
Not a bad looking truck, I've seen a lot worse-look at mine!
