It's almost going to be like Revenge of the Nerds LOL


I second that: It's always good to see another one prowling the streets.

Congrats from a fellow "F'er"

just looked up some old messages so i could give props where due to fellow forum members.

capnspif: ended my long search for F valves... and then practically gave 'em away.  appreciate it.

scondon: hooked me up with a replacement F camshaft, and again... no gouging involved.  thanks.

thanks to anyone else i'm forgetting who helped with little bits i don't remember but which contributed to the end result all the same.

Have to say, it does my heart good seeing a nice F out there :)
Mines in process and sometimes I feel like it won't ever get there.

G'day all, my first post

My F's under the house getting started every couple of days until I can legally ride it at the end of September, it's a '78 F2 & after reading about the woes others have had with the exhaust valves I'm becoming a wee bit paranoid but we'll see how she goes.

Thankfully Terry's love affair with his K0 has allowed me to nab some of his collection of hot-up bits & he's currently building me a spoked front end,
