Hello, new member here. Spent a long time looking at site before signing up. Look forward to sharing info.
 Here's a couple picks of the current project. 1969 Ranchero Gt 428CJ ramair numbers matching when bought about six years ago. Finished? about a year ago, are they ever done?
 Bought the car in pieces, pulled chrome from floor joists of house. Got her home and was able to fire up without much effort, had sat for a number of years after previous owner passed away. Have pissed off the purists car came with MSD ignition on it and it's staying, unless something better comes along. Did take body all the way down replaced one front fender and part of a rear quarter. Other than that some minor patches. Went back to original color Indian Fire and the white bucket seat interior.
 This past march was a rough one out driving on I-95 when a valve dropped and cracked the cylinder in 2 spots. Keepers broke around the lock groove, hadn't seen that before. This was in the aluminum heads I had bought to save original heads. It was a good thought ? So now it is lets have some real fun.
 Building a 445 stroker with a old boss/buddy of mine , usually build myself with machine work subbed out. specs 105 block + .030, Eagle rotating kit cast aiming for 11.5 -1 for a good pump gas engine, Bullet cam like 243@.050 int on 104 c/l. RPM intake. Welding up the wrecked aluminum head new seats in one chamber with 2.25" Intake and 1.900 exh 11/32" stems, port work will commence only been about 30 years since I was playing on the superflow bench. Will cryoage everything prior to final assembly and then get her on the dyno and see where she is at. Headed to Md this weekend to file fit rings and some other stuff.
