Damn. You're good.

Got a custom shop making me a thing or two but I don't want to give it away yet. I'll be around in a few days to get pics (hopefully). Meanwhile I've got to make a 1200 mile trip tomorrow so I better go get ready. TTY'llLater!

The Ford is just like an expensive whore that you married. She won't keep letting you ride her unless you buy her the best of the best so other guys are jealous. . . . at least the Ford won't let other guys ride her unless I say. . .

What am I talking about?

That's why Ford sucks. All the body panels and electric are like marriage counseling to work on.

I doubt it. VG S12s are indestructible. How much mileage on yours?

Why do you think they kept this god awful motor in all the trucks for so long?

You can't kill a VG very easily.

Yeah, it really doesn't matter with this turd. Abused, they chug along like nothing happened till 500K plus. Well maintained, they go forever.

Good question. I was driving down a road with the sun in my eyes and all'd the sudden she went into a massive ditch. She landed softly onto the engine mount and the drivers side nerf bar causing no damage whatsoever (unless damage to my ego counts )
