DSO code is on the glove box door vin plate !!
GL & CONGRATS to the find !!!
I guess the only thing to do is to have a GLK 40th B-day party somewhere in FL !!!

where and how did you find it ?? what color is it going to be ??

the 5th GLK1 in FL .... cant wait to see it in person !!!

 

[JW]

Ok, will look, don't think my tag is still on the glove box door though.

picked it up back in '99, got it and a '76 parts truck from a buddy of mine around the forest hill area, about the only thing worth using on the parts truck was the axels

color will be olive drab, black bumpers, roll bar, wheels, etc... did a quicky paint job in 2000 same color however this time things got out of hand and did a full frame off and plenty of receipts...

look forward to meeting everyone also, any official registration procedures for this get together in Nov? camping allowed? may bring my pop-up

thanks

JW, welcome aboard my friend!! Sounds like you got a nice rig being built!! I have to say I'm very partial to your color scheme as well.

There will be an "official" registration thread sometime in early October but for now this thread is it. I will add you to "the list" and we will make sure to let everyone know when the registration thread is started.

Camping is encouraged and your pop up will not be the only one there. Most of us do tents but a pop up is great if you want to bring it.

You have found Bronco heaven in this website and we have a strong FL group. We are glad to have you. Click on the link from last years event and enjoy some fun reading and some cool pics.

thanks for the welcome smokeater; looking forward to meeting you guys for sure. Probably me & my wife coming and may try to round up a few other buddies of mine with EBs to attend, sounds like a great time.

Yes, I see your running the same color scheme, very nice rig and this is a great forum also

 

[FRANKO289]

OK 19 WEEKS TO GO !!! ;D
its nice to see everyone is playing and working on there rigs !!!!

 

[lonesouth]

once i get the blue one sold, i should be able to pull the C4 for rebuild in install the 351w in front. not sure if I'll have time to go EFI or not.

 

[bax]

You still got it? I thought it was sold?

 

[lonesouth]

its just like the PPS I've been trying to sell. Sold, not sold, sold, not sold. There's been a lot of chatter, but money talks and I ain't been hearing anything...frustrated. Anyone want to buy a Walther PPS in .40SW?

 

[FRANKO289]

THIS IS WAY TOOOOO COOL !!!
I came across this pic titled "Henry Ford and Thomas Edison " 1921

This must be the first Ford wheeling / mudding pics ever !!!

Did some research today and found a bunch of other pics from that camping event in Lee County FL that year but not them 2 wheeling !!

the last pic is :
ford_edison_harding_and_firestone_1921 C ;D L

 

[FRANKO289]
