  • Almost new project time.

    Hello everyone…

    Long time lurker here since the beginning.
    Somewhat of a recovering mini trucker.
    Main previous project is a 5.0 Ranger I built starting in 2005.

    This past summer I finally built myself the dream shop, which will finally allow a couple projects to begin.

    I’ve got a ‘60 Falcon for myself, it will have an old 5.0, T5, EFI combo, current Mustang brakes, 8.8, just recreating my Ranger, I guess.

    Second project is a ‘51 Mercury M3 for my wife. This will be her farm truck hot rod.
    Same combo, 5.0, T5, but this one will have Jag IFS and Jag IRS.
    Also plan to shorten it to F1 length.

    Most parts for these rigs have been gathered over the past few years, so the coming months may lead to some progress.

    Have some finishing touches on the building first, pic is from September.

            To Many here in the "States", they associate "1951 Mercury" for the "Wife" as a car like this Beauty is Driving.

            In Canada, Ford Branded the Truck Line as "Mercury".

            "TimBits" are "Donut Holes".......

                  and Molson's .... I think it's required that you consume at least 2 liters per day from age 7.... at least, that's what we're taught here in the South

                    that’s a good one , sadly not far from the truth. I’m more of a craft beer man myself.

                      there are some, in the States, who believe Molson's IS a craft beer.
