I can only say what is true...66 rules!!!! Welcome Erik! You'll find the site informative and fun and you may even meet some really cool people with excellent taste in cars.....:TU: Scott
DEFINITELY!!! These are great cars to do some basic mods on. They respond very well to simple steering, brake and suspension mods. Much of which can be found in local junkyards.:TU:
Thank you so much for hospitality I guess I have to load all the pictures on photobucket and then here? I tried just loading them off my computer and it won't let me lol any help would be great so I can start sharing all these awesome pix and videos

So basically in a nutshell the motor is a v6 227 its a 3 in the tree car. I did a compression test it was 139 in each cylinder on the money. The car runs awesome. I re did the timing chain, whole front end as far as center lynk pitman arm, bushings etc. The car has manual steering and drum brakes gotta love it lol. I am painting the car jet black, black interior black top and my own style of wheels. The car will be agressive yet a cruiser. I will keep all orginal emblems chrome etc as i have a garage full of brand new thousands and thousand of dollars worth of parts, I will be going with a 22x10.5 in the rear and a 20x8.5 in the front my wheel selection will be revealed later lol. here she is at the body shop lots of rust to be cut and metal to be laced enjoy
