Hello all,
My Name is Ben Harper. Just a simple small town country boy that has always dreamed of going fast on the salt. I grew up in Alabama driving old Fords, 65 Mustangs, 72, 79 and 1991 Ford Pickups F100's and the 91 a F150. I also owned 65, 82GT, 89GT, and built a 79 Mustang with 460 Roller cam engine, with Blue Thunder Heads. Sold all that but still have the 91 Ford F150 and my 1965 Ford F100.
I wrote a book report once about it when i was in 7th grade on the Bonneville Salt Flats and have always wanted to build something to run on it at least once. That book report was about a motorcycle but I am now into Pickups. So
My current build is a 1965 Ford F100 SWB step side with 302 roller 302 with 5 speed manual. I have a simple goal. 130 mph! not that hard to achieve right? We shall see.
Thanks
