New guy here

Been lurking around the forum for about a month now and bought my new project this last weekend. My last project (66 fairlane) was finished about a year ago but i wasn't happy with the c4 and trying to drive it daily so i'm in the process of installing a 4r70w and while i'm at it coilovers and all new bushings and tierods. Right now the truck is on the side of my shop while i put together some parts and finish the fairlane. Once i roll it into the shop i will start a build thread

Plan for the truck is
Aluminum 4.6 DOHC
4r70w
mustang II or Lexus sc400
explorer 8.8 on leaf springs or 4 link

Here's the Pristine beauty










Here's my Fairlane
I do all my own work from fab to bodywork/paint.... I did cheat on this one and had the rear window and headliner put in
