New members from Illinois
Just wanted to say hi and introduce ourselves. My son Zach will be getting his license in about 10 months. His first vehicle is going to be the 70 that we recently bought. Before you say it, I will have him add pictures ASAP!
This site has been so much help already to us. We are learning together as we go. We have gotten so many good ideas and help from reading the forums. My first vehicle was a 78 F100, so it is bringing back some good memories.
Keep up the good work, this is the friendliest, most cordial web site I have ever been on.
