When I turned 18, My parents and I bought a mint 1978 F-150 Ranger Lariat. 351m c6. When we bought her the 351m had just been replaced and rebuilt, as-well with the c6. Then when I had turned 20 I had to park her because I had back surgery. Then I when I turned 21-22 I realized that her paint and cosmetic problems started showing i.e. rust in the drip rails and the clear on the roof and hood was just flaking off. So I went under the task of restoring her, I had a few colors in mind, I.e green, white. Then one day I just said why not, and I would create a faux-tina paint job. So here how she sits of now. Now at 25 I feel that I can drive her freely, Take her to car shows, and just play have fun with her.
