Hey gang....

Dave from Vegas here. 2008 F150 XLT with tow package, bought new in 2008 now with 34k miles. Mainly used as a daily driver and tow vehicle for my racing side business. We also use it around the house quite a bit, the wife loves to garden and work in the yard. I plan on driving the wheels off it. They included a service contract that expired last year so I'm doing the maintenance and service in my shop. I've got a full fabrication and race shop where I have nearly everything but a lift.

Looking forward to being here and sharing knowledge with other F150 owners.

Thanks guys. I'm digging the Fox Lake site. My dad and I are getting ready to work on his 67 Mustang. He did a full factory refurb, all the numbers match. But, he's been sick for a couple years now and just coming out it. And left fuel in the car. It fires, but it's ugly. I'll drop the tank and flush the system and there are some interior bits to install. It's pretty clean, only about 40k original miles. Interior parts aged form the sun before he got it about 25 years ago.

Here's the shop 3 years ago.

Since then, I've added full metal fab, tube bending and notching. Welding, TIG, MIG, Stick, plasma cutting. Enough other stuff to build and repair wrinkled race cars. Mostly stock car stuff though I'm building a 90 Miata for the Spec Miata classes in SCCA and NASA.

Here's the shop about an hour ago. I really could use at least 1000 sq ft, preferably 2500. It's now a game of Tetris to get anything done I've packed it full.
