1997 I came home from work and told my girlfriend that I bought something and I need money and we was saving for our wedding . She said ok and I did pay it back before the wedding. Lol. It didn’t run so I pulled the motor out and had it rebuild by Eddie flora a racing engine builder here in my town. I drove it a summer and didn’t like the gear in the rear end so I pulled the pig and from there it sat and then we moved and it sat for 7 years then I stated to work on it every winter .. So the truck sat for 14 years and I drove it for the first time . In the 14 year Span I change the colors three times and last year I didn’t want to run in primer so I painted it satin green to only run it one year and then paint it a soft yellow. Well I won three trophies last year and just won a trophy at Maggie Valley f100 truck show. I call it “the tank” and still I would love to paint it but not now. Thanks Mark.
