Hey all im new to the HAMB. I have a 54 custom line. I have been working on it off and on for awhile now, It has a 428cj with a C6. I also have a 1963 unibody F100. Its nice to find groups into the same cars as I have. Anyways nice to be here, and I am sure that I will have a ton of questions to add to the bords. Thanks.
Finally a neighbor!!! Welcome to the group.... many great guys willing to help in all kinds of ways. I'm just down I-5 in a sleepy little town called Leaburg just east of Eugene. Check out the guys photos on this group,,,, many very nice cars here.
Thanks for the welcom! Im already getting motivated to start working on hr again. It has kinda taken a back seat to the 63 f100. The pickup is my daily driver and I am trying to do king pins. I just bought a new wire harness from the PDX swap meet and a alum. intake tha needs to get on too. I havent even driven the car yet and I die a little inside every day that I have to see her sit thier(ha ha).
Welcome aboard friend ! Always good to see what someone else is doing to their Ford . I really like your idea of an engine and trans . I am installing a 302 into mine but thought about sticking my 460 in it but figured it would be a big pain plus a ton more weight in the front . I have enough trouble with the hard manual steering now so with that much more weight I am not sure about that swap . Anyway when you get some pictures how about posting them ! Would love to see what you have ! Jim
I havent driven the car yet. I want to upgrade the brake's, or at least the master cylnder. I will get pics of it up tomarrow. Today, however, I broke my thumb while trying to replace the king pins on my 63 ford! It turns out a thumb is no match for a mini sledge. Ha Ha.
