Just thought I'd toss out a hello. I'm from Oregon, although I've been away with the Army for the past five years.
Moved around Oregon alot as my father was a police officer. Junction City, Dallas, Gresham and Portland, then Toledo and Waldport on the coast.
I'll be moving back in about a month and staying for...well, I'm not sure yet. But a couple months at least before I head to school or find a job. My family is living in Dallas now.
Anyway, I'd like to get together with some of ya, if you guys have anything planned. I'll be arriving there with some cash in my pocket, so I'm planning on a KB or Magnum (maybe a Whipple), and all the usual mods. So if anyone can recommend a good (or great) dyno shop I'd appreciate it. I'm going to have some body work I need done - roll pan, side steps, new hood...as well as installing some parts like I mentioned before... So if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
And if some of you have the skills to install those parts yourselves... Well, I'll buy the beer, or pay whatever you think is fair.
Look forward to meeting some of you guys. Take it easy!
EDIT: I am also looking for a '40 or early '50 Ford pickup truck, if anyone knows of one in the state that is in decent condition (I plan on doing a full restoration/modification on it) and is for sale.
