New member from Oregon
 
My wife and I live near Medford in Oregon's beautiful Rogue River Valley. There is an amazing car culture here, on our horseshoe shaped street there are about 40 houses that are home to 12 or 13 Corvettes ranging from a beautifully restored 57 to a C7 about 3 months old.

When my brother, Mike Dunn, an extremely talented and successful automotive engineer died about 4 years ago his last project car came to me. It's a 2002 Ford F-150 that is California smog LEGAL and is dynomometer tested at 620 hp to the rear wheels. It runs snooth as silk and can be driven daily. Here's a link to webpage that tells about it.

Since this webpage was created he added the following: Self-engineered and constructed 4 link rear end with Ride Tech air suspension, rack & pinion steering, tubbed with 18" wide Mickey Thompson tires, 16 gallon fuel cell and carbon fiber drive shaft.
He drag raced it once, it turned 11:37 and 118 mph. Not bad for a 5065 pound truck.

I glad to be here and look forward to being member.

Welcome to the site Jon. That looks like a pretty cool project. My father-in-law and his wife live in Talent, we're up there a couple times a year to visit. Very beautiful there

Hey Jon.... I also just joined this forum, still have to post my intro today. Glad to hear you still have Mike's amazing truck. My Lightning is long gone, its had three owners since I sold it a few years back. Got a '69 Camaro I found while I still had the Lightning. Keep that truck! Does Mike's wife still have the '37 ? chevy? All the best to you.

Mike
