  7. Congratulations David - My first truck was a 50 Ford F1 and I was 13 years old. Buying that old Ford back in 1973 was the best thing I ever did ! Have fun with your new project.

    I struggled with fractions. Today I used my math skills to build "toy" gun. I still need to paint it. I learned how to use a drill press again, and other tools in the shop.

    as far as the truck goes, the 6 cylinder has a cracked block so we are going to put a Flathead V8 in it and fix the brakes so we can drive it around.
