I wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I started visiting the forum a few weeks ago. I've posted a few times and this seems like a great place. There is an incredible amount of knowledge here and some really great cars.
I purchased my car in January 2008 after literally 14 years of talking about it. It is a budget build but what I don't have in money I try to make up for in effort. I perform a small restoration job in the summer and another each winter. The time between the two I try to drive the car as often as possible.
Last summer, I replaced the front suspension, brakes, and steering components. I replaced everything with quality parts. I even managed to get together enought money for roller spring perches and heim joint strut rods.
Last winter, I restored the engine bay. This was a very dirty project. It seemed the previous owner continued to just paint everything black instead of clean the engine compartment. I took it down to bare metal and there were several coats of paint.
This summer, I installed a Weiand Stealth intake and Holley 570 carb. This was not much of a project. I just removed and rebuilt my 3 speed top loader as it was leaking badly from the shift seals. I installed a Centerforce II clutch while the transmission was out.
That is enough for now. Just wanted to introduce myself and tell everyone a little about what I am working on. You can see more of my build at 67TXStang.blogspot.com.
