Yeah, sorry guys, I've been the working fool lately. Like Darryl, I've been taunted by a couple other gammer buddies to play a huge on-line wargame, Desert Combat. Between that and FINALLY got my shop built (that a whole 'nuther story in itself) but it's hardly finished as the interior is still plain Jane, but I have Concrete and thats a milestone in itself.
Lately I've been keeping track of parked II's around town keeping an eye for when a 4-sale sign pops up in them. (something to pass the time while running the street sweeper)
Anyhow, as far as the IIs go, haven't really done anything to either one of them but will be fixing up the '78 Black on Black Ghia I have to sell here shortly. Over the winter I invested alot of time and money into the '25 T C-Cab I have but then came the oppurtunity to build the shop when the housing market skyrocketed. Thanks to the giant leap in equity in my home I was able to start on the shop in late March. If you want, I can post a couple pics of it. When i get a chance, i want to put all the in-progress pics on my cheese Yahoo website along with car updates.
But anyhow, I'll try to make an effort to pop in at least once or twicw a week. Summer's here and the honey-do list and home improvements are in full swing.... and gotta get that shop squared away for this fall. Soooo i'll do my best to slide by and visit! how's everybody's projects comming?
Oh! Almost forgot, I finally met this fella that has 2 PRISTINE Cobras, and 1 PRISTINE Mach 1 at the All Ford Swapmeet/show in Hillsboro. Helluva nice guy! Seen the cars at this show many taime before but was never able to catch him. I think I have a pic or two of his cars archived somewhere.... :scratch:
 
HEY- It's to my understanding that you slid through town a couple months back..... and you NEVER stopped to say HI!?! Geezzzz What am i, the plauge? :shrug: :D :D

What show was it that you went to in Portland? I live basically next to I-205 in the Orchards area of Vancouver, if you're familiar.

yea, it was in vancouver at All Ford Performance, was a good show, it was off 205.
 
:mad: Dang! That's 2 min from my house. Guess I should keep and ear out for these meets within the 5.0 guys. I don't know all those guys too well but i went to a couple of their local gatherings and traded parts with them. I'm sure Nate (stangler) was there with is ride. Met Chung, nice guy and pretty knowlegeable too. There's a chassis dyno just around the corner from their shop (tward my house) on 63rd St/Minnehaha Rd. Surprised you'all didn't have a dyno day or something. Geezz... i could have limped my junkpile to that meet being it was in town and all.
There's a Mustangs Unlimited chapter here in town with one member that has a II. I've just neglected to ever go to one of their meetings.

Let me know next time you or JTS or anyone else comes down this way and we'll have to get together, put back a few beers and tell lies as I torch some burgers. :nice:

Maybe next summer, I'd like to host a little NW II get together here at my place. It'd be kinda neat. I know a few years back some II guys got together at a member's house in Portland. I've never done a get together before so I have no idea of what every one would like to do. Something to think about I suppose.. :shrug:
