Greetings,
I wanted to introduce myself and let you know about my car. I am Joe, 45yo, and have dreams of being in the Hot Rod Power Tour. So, having just inherited my late Uncle Mike's 1964 Ford Thunderbird, I have decided to work on it gradually, and then do the tour.
The car: Body is straight, interior is a mess, no battery, 12yrs of old gas is in the tank. Brakes don't work. I plan on going with Wilwood for the braking, having the 390 rebuilt, tranny needs to be rebuilt. Car is an A/C car, power windows, locks, seat, steering, and it was my uncles pride and joy. I am a car audio enthusiast and will be rebuilding the interior around the system. The dash will stay stock...but everything from the dash back, will be new and recovered.
I hope to do mini-tubs so I can fit some 20x12 rear wheels, with 18x8 front wheels. Paint I am still unsure about, but, my nephew wants flames. I don't think the car screams for flames..but you never know.
I look forward to learning a lot from reading here. Please don't hesitate to talk to me about stereos. I compete in Sound Quality, so if you are looking to make your ride sound as good as it looks, don't hesitate to ask.
Cheers,
Joe
