    Very Cool Forum
    I have read but not posted for a long time, learned a lot stuff from
    this site.
    My story is this I met my wife in 1985 she was driving a 67 Fairlane SW
    With a short in the starter. she went to many mechanics pay a lot $$$
    and it was never solved.
    I was working in a cabinet shop in the day and a shop with my brother doing
    auto work at night and weekends. That's when she drove in :)
    The problem was the heat tube to the air cleaner from the manifold
    had come lose drop down on the starter and was shorting it out.
    problem solved (y)
    And as they sat the rest is history.
    We still have the car. Oh I forgot, she is the 2nd owner.
    She got it in 1972.
    Anyway That's my story and I'm sticking to it :evilsmile:
    I will be posting soon.

    Ford nut, throw a pic up on the site of your wagon. You could post one of your wife, as well, but I'd prefer to see her wagon!!

    Welcome to the forum! :Welcome:

    I have been a "Ford nut" for a LONG time. Don't know exactly were it came from (my folks and family were more GM people). Be that as it may, I have also had other makes as well. All have treated me well also.
