I've been gone for a while from FABO, but I'm back now. I have started a new job, and can't check in from work ;oke I used to, but I can get facebook updates on my phone. O was wondering if there was a group on facebook already for FABO folks. I couldn't find one, but really didn't know what to...

Hopefully some of you Northerners (and Great Northerners) can help me here. I still have about 4 inches of ice on my back deck. The deck is treated lumber. It's getting up to low 30s in the daytime and mid teens at night, so it never really melts off, just re-freezes harder. The deck is about 4'...

Well, Christmas is a little over a week away and I am finally starting to get into the spirit, thanks to all of you. If it were not for FABO, I wouldn't really get into the swing of it until Christmas morning when it is too late to enjoy it! There is one or two Christmas memories I wanted to...

That scrapple thread got me thinking about SPAM. Love it or hate it, it is a force of nature. It now comes in many different flavors - tobasco, maple, turkey. It's a delecacy in Hawii and the Phillipenes. They even sell "collector's" retro tins. What's your favorite recipe? I like it sliced...

It's Great To Be An AUBURN TIGER!!! Even if you are not an auburn fan, if you are interested in college football - WOW! What a game!!!

Last night my wife came home from a play-date for our 7-yr. old with a 1 yr. old, 70 lb-ish pitt bull. The ladies who owned her really couldn't handle her and kept her on a chain in their back yard. Since we have around 90 acres for her to run and my wife has always wanted a pitt, she gladly...

Do any of you know of a "GOOD" Ford board? I love FABO, but I really hate asking questions about my Fords on here. I'm looking for a site with good information on old - non-mustang Ford cars and trucks. All the websites I've tried take weeks or months for anyone to add to a thread, or they are...

A disturbing study on beer consumption

Before anyone jumps me for posting this question here, instead of the electrical page, Have you read any of those post? Seriously? Those guys are speaking Chinese over there. I have a wiring question, but I honestly don't know if I will understand the answers! I installed a low-end Pioneer...

I think this kind of sums up driving an old car daily. I just put a new waterpump on last weekend that required 3 trips to the parts store to finally get the right one and required removing almost EVERY SINGLE BOLT ON THE FRIGGIN' CAR! Well, seemed like it, never want to do that again (it's my...

How do you guys keep your satin black hoods looking good? Obviously you can't wax it, what do you use to protect it? What did people use "back in the day" to keep it from fading or turning gray? I've heard you can use baby oil, anyone tried it?

For those that don't know about history ... Here is a condensed version: > > Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters / gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter. > > The...

It was a tough year, but I made it !!! But not everyone is as lucky as I am....... The economy is so bad that I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail. I ordered a burger at McDonald's, and the kid behind the counter asked, "Can you afford fries with that?" CEO's are now playing...

TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED: 1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.. 2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair. 3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person. 4) Never ask your 3-year old brother...

A friend e-mailed these to me, makes me want to roll down all the windows and mash down the go-pedal!

Mine was an '85 S-10 I bought in college to rest the Dart from the 170 mile drive back and forth to school. It was a standard cab long wheelbase with a 2.8 wheezebox and a bent frame. It looked good when I bought it, but it tracked like a sleepy hound dog, smoked like a chimney and took 2 acres...

Went to town Saturday in my daily driver , 1968 Ford Galaxie. On the way home I passed through one of our local speed traps. I know the police sit there all the time, so I wasn't speeding, but the cop pulled in behind me, followed for a while and lit me up. The only thing I was worried about was...

LITTLE LARRY A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, 'Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!' After a few seconds, Little Larry stood up. The teacher said, 'Do you think you're stupid, Larry?' 'No, ma'am, but I hate to see you...

I just read redfish's thread about his headliner woes and have a question and I didn't want to jack his thread. Has anyone ever heard of anyone converting from bow to board headliner? I read something about a company that was doing that for the new Dynacorn mustang bodies. It was supposed to...

I've noticed that a lot of members here are dog people and I wanted to share this with you. Last Monday I ran over one of our dogs and had to put him down. He was a beagle named Ketchup ( one of the kids named him). He was not the brightest dog... ok, he was inbread and retarded even by hound...

I found these on thereifixedit.com . There are some crazy people out there and you never know what you are going to meet on a dark twisty road. BEWARE!

I was overwhelmed by the kind welcome I got on the Welcome Wagon Page! Here (hopefully) are some pics of my 72 dart from around 1985 in her "glory days" and some more of how she looks now after 20+ years in the woods covered in leaves and straw. My dad bought her new in 1971 for my mom to...

Hello everyone, I just signed on today. I wanted to get a few opinions about cut-out rear fenders on darts ... superstock style. I have been kicking around the idea of building my '72 in the style of a vintage trans am racer, think AAR dart. Cut out fenders, IMO, look great on hemi darts, but...

Hello - I've been reading this forum for a couple of years now, figured it was well past time to join up. I didn't realize HOW good this site was untill I went looking for an old ford forum. Never take for granted what a great group of enthusiasts FABO has on tap! You guys are responsible for...
