Just playing around

My truck. Used Microsoft Paint to "dress up" the wheels. Thinking about doing this for real. Feels like it gives them the F150 Harley Edition look.

Our 2010 Ford F150 Platinum

Had to make a purchase. Got something we can hopefully use for years to come. It actually has F150 Lariat wheels. I'm not sure if the original owner ordered it this way or changed it for some reason after the fact. I kind of like it because it sets it apart from at least two other Candy Red Platinums that are hear in the area.

57 Ford Custom 300

One of the many 57 Fords seen at the Mountain Moonshine Festival in Dawsonville, GA. This one was my favorite. Super clean with a 406 and mutiple carbs. Interior looked bone stock except for the floor shift and tach. Sweet!

67 Falcon Sports Coupe

Seen at the 2012 Falcon Nationals in Louisville. The best looking 67 Falcon I've ever seen and definitely one of my favorites at the show. My son really loved it. Having grown up with my 63 1/2 and 65, he is leaning toward the later 60s models. He really likes the 68-70 with their square tail lights. These cars were much more akin to the 66-67 Fairlanes and you could easily stuff with a big block. This was one sweet ride!

Went to the Moonshine Festival in Dawsonville today. Made me want to go home and get the little Falcon out. Should have gone yesterday. I heard there were close to 1000 cars there. Lots of Fords, so you know I would have loved that.

A very nice Woody on Canal Street in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. We were there on vacation and I just happened to luck out and catch their monthly cruise-in. They do a great job. Canal Street is blocked off and limited to just hot rods and Harley's. Plus there is a DJ spinning your favorite hot rod hits.

Meet Sadie, the newest addition to the family. My daughter has been wanting another dog, so I finally gave in. She is almost a teenager and they are only young once, right? :-)

(Thought I'd surprise everyone with something besides a car photo.)

Very clean 61 Falcon. Great stance and wheel/tire combination; 13 inch steelies with the original dog dish caps. White car with wheel color that matched the interior. Inline 6.

Taken at the 2012 Falcon Club of America Nationals. This is a 20,000 mile original and unrestored classic. Rangoon Red with red interior.

This thing was beautiful and I couldn't tell if it was the real deal or not. John did an excellent job recreating a classic Ford legend. Work of art in deed. And to top it all, he drives it!!!

I wish I had gotten this shot with trunk lids down.

63 1/2 Falcon Sprint

I've seen this Falcon several times through the years and it remains one of my favorites. I think the owner has it right! The stance and wheel/tire combo is spot on. This thing screams hotrod to me.

Finally made it back to the monthly cruise in Cleveland TN. Made the trip up in my Dad's T-bird, following my friend Hezie and his family in his super cool 70 Chevy Stepside. You can see pictures of it in my photostream. We also traveled with another friend who was trailering his 20K mile all original 64 Falcon Sprint. It was a fun night by all and finally got to enjoy a cheeseburger at The Spot. Very good and can't wait to go back. Next time maybe I'll be in my "bird" rather than Dad's.

Had to go south of the gnat-line this week on an overnight business trip. Pretty country. I love the pecan groves and couldn't resist taking a few pictures.

Bradford pear tree at home

The Bradford pear trees in the front yard held on to their leaves longer than usual, but the recent rain and wind is taking it's toll. Soon there will be no sign of fall remaining.

To honor a friend...RIP Curtis...6/19/51 - 10/14/11

A man I only met a year ago and only had the honor of being around less than a handful of times, but he made an impression. This is a picture of Curtis' 1964 Fairlane the first time I saw it. It has an aluminum block 427 and fuel injected "stacks". He has a 57 Ford Custom 300 that is just as nice with the same engine. He also has a 69 Mustang with a Boss 429. That is Curtis standing at the rear of the car.

When we met, I was driving my 63 Falcon, also black with old style American mags, like his Fairlane only NOWHERE near as nice. When he saw me he said, "You're from Dahlonega ain't you?" I said yes. He then proceeded to tell me exactly where I lived. Said he had seen my car many times and would know it anywhere. Now, if that sounds like a stalker to you, then you just don't understand. If it sounds familiar to you, then you must be a car guy. Cars make impressions and when we see one we like, we remember it...we file it away and hold on to it. You never know when that information may come in handy.

Curtis and I had common ground and we both used it to our advantage. I had some wheels he wanted and he had some wheels I wanted...so we "did some tradin'..."

After spending a few hours at Curtis' shop, I invited him to a charity car show we were having that November. He said he'd be there if there was any way that he could. More times than not I would take a statement like that with a grain of salt, because I know many folks words are lighter than air. However, when Curtis said it, it almost felt like a promise. Two days before the show my phone rang and it was Curtis. I thought to myself that he was calling to tell me he couldn't make it. Instead he was calling to make sure it was still on and to let me know he'd be bringing some friends. I'll never forget that. Meant a lot to me.

Curtis was a car guy....and Curtis loved Fords and he had some nice ones. He will be missed.

Another angle of the previously posted house. This one seemed to look better without color.
