50 F1

Hello   My name is Mike I live up in Sterling Michigan. I was on here quite a few years ago, I was 30 Coupe back then but my email address has changed since the last time I posted so I had to think of a new user name. I still have the 30 Ford coupe but that is all done and I am back working on my 1950 Ford F1

I have been out West a few times with Sumner (1FATGMC) and I have met Tony, River1, Glen, DRD57. You guys probably don't remember me because it was a long time ago.

I have owned my 50 since 1978. The first time I did it it had the stock suspension, 302, fmx and I forget what the rear end was, 8" ford I think. In 1985 I wanted something different so I took it apart and started over. Now it has a 327, turbo 400, 9" ford narrowed, 4 bar coil over rear suspension, 33 x 19.5-15 mickey thompson rear tires tucked up under the fenders, bed shortened 9", top chopped 6", front frame clip from a 72 monte carlo.   Some of the work I farmed out because I didn't figure I had the talent to do it but now 20 years later I am fixing allot of problems I paid to have done.   It has a long way to go but I am back on it and having fun.  

I am sure I will have allot of questions and problems you guys can help me with.

Welcome back, I'm gonna have to Google Sterling, not sure where it is.

Thanks for all the welcome backs!!

Jim did we go for a ride and the seat belt didn't fit one of us?

phat46 Sterling is right across the bay from the thumb.  I grew up in AuGres and we live in between Sterling and West Branch now.

Yup, Now I remember, on Old 76, used to take that way when we rode dirt bikes by west Branch or when we went to my brothers cabin up by Damon. Like to stop at the * Store in Alger, great area!

Yup the passenger seat belt came no where near fitting me. Me thinks the  seatbelt still fits you pretty good  :lol:
