Guess I'll miss it....don't do Face Book, don't do tweets, don't do texting and don't do twerking......
I'm another one, no social media sites for me, this place is as social as I get. I don't texting either, don't even have a cell phone..
Love all the pics!
Cool...just visited and posted my wagon video and some pics...

I'm a no social media guy also. No Facebook no texting and no tweets.
I did click on the link from robhaerr. There are a lot of nice 57's on there. It was a pleasant surprised to see pictures of my 57 custom. I didn't submit them, so I thank someone on this site for doing that .
Jay
I did that...
I stop at Twitter.
Reminds me that those who use Twitter should be known as "Twats".
That was a bad thing to be known as when I was a kid.
...and being a Twit wasn't much better.

Some nice pictures on there, I "shared" a few Ranchero ones.
I've put a couple of yours up too Donnie, just been a few days, so it's way up the list, lol.. Only had a couple of it finished, so there are a couple with no front end, one with it in bare metal etc...
Thank James! I appreciate that.

It sucks to wait, but its nice to be finished. I've entered my car at an indoor show in Toronto called Megaspeed March 21,22,23 that will be the first time out of my garage. Not sure how many guys are local. If anyone comes near me quick...I'm duckin! HRD
Hotroddonnie: Gary here from Queensville. Just a little tip. DO NOT DO!!! what I did a few years back. Stupid, Stupid. I had just finished a 69 Cyclone SCJ CJ. The ford club convinced me that I should debut it at the Motion show, in their display. I agreed and off I went with an open trailer. It was a beautiful clear day; however the salty mist that was in the air ruined the detail on that car forever. Just saying, be careful and make sure you have an enclosed trailer. Your car is too nice to loose its edge over an earley outing. With that said I am looking forward to seeing you and your new ride this spring at one of the shows. Cheers Gary
Thanks Gary for the heads up. My brother has a enclosed trailer, we are taking his 65 Falcon to the show as well, sucks about your car its not worth taking if that happens. I'm pretty anal, my car won't see the streets till they have been swept and a few rains to wash the salt away. Thanks HRD.

Donnie...I agree with you 100%. I don't want any of that salt stuff anywhere on, under, or about my cars. Around here, they are very generous with the salt so I have to wait until after it has rained also before I even think about taking a car out. Jay

If you drive your car before they sweep and wash the streets, its like parking your car in a room your sanding drywall mud in. :happy9:

Well I already have that problem. My fresh car has only about 5 or 6 miles on it but It's been sitting in my shop for years while I was restoring other cars. So all the freshly painted parts underneath including the engine are covered with sanding dust. So my first trip will have to be to a car wash where I an clean everything including underneath. A car cover does not help. Even my axle housing and front end are covered with sanding dust. It gets into everything.
When/if spring gets here, my first trip will be to a car wash with one of those power wands so I can try to clean everything.
The good thing is that it's not salt.
I have a question on the video that was posted of the green Custom that is labeled Ricky Knight . I would like to know what you have on that Y block for exhaust .I have been doing custom exhaust work for 20 years and very few cars have that sound .
The 57 Fords International facebook page has really taken off. Be sure, if you are on fb, to go and check it out, like the page, and add a photo or two. I have been busy uploading photos on there and there are a bunch. I still have thousands to go through, and hundreds more to scan from printed photos. Glad that this 57 Ford thing is finally getting some exposure. We'll probably never be able to undo the damage the magazines did to Ford because of what they thought of the Y block, but we know which is the best car from `57. ANd the rest of the world is starting to notice, finally.
