Photobucket is free!
The PO, a good friend of mine, installed the 300. My plans are to install a disc brake IRS from a Cougar and then move the engine and trans back far enough to couple the trans to the IRS with a CV joint.
This will give me enough room for a bench seat.
The motorcraft carb is gone and I have a Weber progressive carb for it.
I'm shooting for about 24MPG or better.

I just bought this 66 from a guy that was tired of working on it. It has a new 351 Cleveland and i only payed $800 for it! My son Harley and I are building it for my wife......
All the parts are there, and the stainless trim is perfect! Inside floorpan has already been replaced and the body is ready for primer.

Posting with Photobucket
I posted this over in my native 04-08 forum a while back and figured I should post it here since this is probably the biggest forum on here and prone to a lot of pictures. 
From my original post:
I've noticed there are quite a few newer members who aren't quite aware of how to post pictures, so I had some free time today and I thought I'd make a quick video on how to upload pictures to Photobucket and then post them on the forums. It's nothing amazing, but I think I explained it well enough. Feel free to simply link people here (or the video) if you need or contact me if you need any more help! Thanks!

That's a long term customer and friend's rigs. He owns Watkins Logging, and Watkins Trucking. Great guy. He's got a pair of sweet 67 Mustangs and just didn't have enough time for this project, so he made me a hell of a deal!
Didn't hurt that I gave him a virgin 351 Cleveland I had a couple months ago.........lol

Here's my new beauty. She's a 71 Ranchero 500, 302/C4, custom paint, runs great, just has a few minor little details that need attended to (new wheels, accelerator pump leak, new wheels, did I say new wheels?, etc.) and it's going to make a fun summer driver. But hey, what's life without another project or two.
Hope you enjoy!

Here is what it looked like when I bought it five years ago, it should have bent sent to the crusher, it was pretty well shot:
