okay, I've been looking around the forums for awhile , thought I'd actually register and say HI!
I'm a Toyota Tech, 26 with a new family, Fiance and 10 month old Daughter
In Aug my father was killed in a bike accident (if anyone knew or heard of Jeff "muttly" Pritchett, that was my Father). in the end, I inherieted one of his unfinished projects (a 64 F100) one of his old bikes (71 yamaha 650 chopper) and his old shop (formerly Muttly's Motorcycle works) . In the end, appears my dad left me a way to realize my own dream in his passing. I'm working on getting the shop up and running again as side work, if it takes off so be it, if not it's my personal playground and source of additional income.
anyways, onto happier things! .. the toys
64 F100

it's Olds Clipped, Chevy driveline - bolt on 305 (383 being redone in the shop), built TH350 with a decent converter, rear helper airsprings, custom bent billet antenna, billet wipers, Boyd coddington Rims (15inch not sure the type but they are long discontinued) 275/60/15 rears, 205/50/15 fronts, olds tilt column, moulded in Olds wagon rear bumper
this is my Pro touring Project. lots of ideas but general run down. swap to 17inch steelies with small center caps and trim rings, with nice wide lo pro rubber, full air suspension front and rear. built 4L60E, and a built 383 TPI. fine metallic orange paint with faint ghosted pearly white flames
The other toys
