'51 F 100 . . .

 Welcome Danny and Chris to our extended family. They turned up today with their '51 F100 and a whole heap of 'go-go' gear to be fitted to their pride and joy over the next few months as the boys carry out an extensive re-build of the classic old body shape. . .
 Chris tells us that she's into muscle cars and we're guessing that this is the reson that a stinking great Cleveland is going to find pride of place between the front chassis rails . . .
 Andrew was discussing the current trend towards using the Toyota Hilux chassis as the 'go to' fix for the old F100's but Danny tells us that he is more of a traditional sort of guy and prefers the old Ford set-up. Not to worry says Andrew, we'll just raise the rails and drop the body into the weeds, simple as that. . .
How she arrived, cabin full of front guards and anthing else that could be fit in for the trip up the highway. This cabin is in good nick and should provide the basis for a very nice rod for the family cruising events . . .
