Summer projects

Every farm needs a truck. Roots has a truck that, with a little help, will be a rolling billboard bringing attention to the garden and our need for resources and help as we attempt to fill food banks with fresh produce (not to mention a pretty cool parade truck). The 1955 ford F100 is currently being restored by Brandon Cupitt with plenty of help from others. You can follow the restoration at www.thisoldtruck.blogspot.com. Here is a sample post...

So the first step in any restoration is find the subject. I love the lines of an old truck and if you know me, only a Ford would do. After nearly six months of looking Beth's eyes were tired of rolling every time I was on the computer or saying "look at this honey". It seemed to have worn her down enough where she allowed me to buy this...

It's a 1955 ford F100. I know you are probably thinking to yourself, WOW! That's so pretty I wouldn't even bother restoring it. Funny, Beth doesn't see it that way. Will loves it and I have some strong guidance from Terry, an auto body worker I know through Church, so I feel confident the whole family will grow to love it.
