Hey fordification peeps, I wanted to drop in and say hello and I have a couple really cool pics to share while I'm here. Way back in 2008 when I first started this thread my good friend 427blackpearl (Brad) was one of the first few to post pics of his sweet bump (page 1) although I'm currently bumpless and Brad nor I are active on the board we still stay in contact and maintain the friendship that we formed here on the forum. Brad still has Ol pearl and today he sent me a couple updated pictures of her and her new rolling stock, I consider her gorgeous eye candy, what do y'all say?

The Pearl has always been a favorite of mine. Motivated me to lower my '69 and I love the ride so much more than stock. The Pearl looks even better now... Tell Brad I said "Good job." Thanks for posting the pics td.

Your very welcome Lee_ford. Brads truck has always been a favorite of mine as well. I traveled from my home here in the west end of TN to to Brads home in Knoxville a few years back and visited with him and enjoyed the f100 supernats with him (when they were still having them there) and I can tell you for sure, old pearl is just as sweet in person.

Hey 70shortwide,Thought I'd share this pic with ya since you have a similar picture of yours posted here. This was a few years ago and it to was an actual stop, 68mph in a 50mph zone if my memory serves me correctly and yes I got a ticket! I remember the troopers weird looks when I started snapping pics lol

I had shared these here way back then

Still needs a little work to get it on the road but its damn close.

Wheels on it now are just rollers, waiting for the Rushforth Rated x in 20" Variety to show up in the next few weeks. Hope to debut at GoodGuys in Puyallup next month.

Thanks TD. It has come a long way for sure in just the year since I pulled it home from Southern Oregon. Its titled and registered with current tabs on it now. Runs and moved under its own power for the first time last night. Time to start the shakedown process and get a tune on it. Shooting for mild numbers should easily put down between 650 and 700 at the tires. :D

Sean, I sure will say hi. Trust me mine is no where near the quality of yours and unfortunately it's still in Reno till I can go get it.
