Hi,been snooping around the barn for a while here. Thought I might post an introduction. I've got a 49 f1 prolly gonn need some help on it, got a 53 ford custom line fordor and I've got a 53 Mercury Monterey fordor. The merc I'm most proud of all stock ford v8 merc o' matic transmission. Only deviation from stock is 8 volts (that I know of) which I want to change but my dad won't let me only 17 so... Gotta follow his rules. wow sorry I love talking :) I'll try to post pics if yall want

The f1. As you can see we deal in junk. None of my cars are perfect and I can't really afford to fix them entirely. I know I should only have one and be fixing it but I'm afraid they won't be here much longer so these are being preserved atm with future plans of complete restorations. I am trying to get them in decent runnable shape.

The 54 as you can see it's been stripped down. Got to start sanding on it. Will have to get pictures of the merc and model a will have to come later she's having her wiring patched and is tucked into bay in the shop.

You have given us all hope for the "next" generation. Wonder what your world will be like when you're our ages.
Welcome and don't take us too seriously.

I hate thinking of it. Luckily I have my "golden era haven" out here in the woods of Mississippi. I don't only collect cars but vintage anything 50s back. Love the 50s music. And when I joined my local car club one of the gentleman told me I looked like I bought my merc new. Heck a little dab will still do ya if you can remember back that far. But that's entirely off topic from vintage fords. :D

Great looking F1. Get that thing so it goes down the road good and safe and run the wheels off it! I like how it looks as is.
 
Welcome to the barn, as for posting more than one pic at a time. You are (I'm guessing) probably trying to post from your "smart phone". This site will only allow one at a time off your phone. Try sending the pictures to your PC, then from your PC you can post multiple pics at a time.
The sister site H.A.M.B. has been upgraded in recent years and will allow for multiple uploads from your phone or PC. It is only a matter of time before Ryan updates this site. Happy New Year
