Introducing, My Project and I
I'm starting work on a "little" project, I'm going to be swapping a big block 390 into an 80's Ranger(still trying to track a good one down). Of course I'll be throwing in a roll cage and mustang suspension and some other junk too. Basically, a screaming street/strip truck. Really simple, right?
I should probably point out that I'm REALLY sarcastic! I also hold down a full time job as a college student here in Lansing, Michigan! Going for my Airframe and Powerplant License, so I get to fix airplanes for a living! I cant wait! Meanwhile I've got around 10hrs every week day with nothing to do, so I figured I'd pick up a project and fiddle with that in my off time. I've got a part time job at the Local Hobby Shop where I spend the rest of my paychecks on plastic models of whatever peaks my interest! Below you can see the beginnings of my project, the motor! Lucky for me it seems to have held up quite well for having been outdoors in Michigan for 20+ years! And I'm sure that if you really look you'll see my rust heap, a complete 1962 Thunderbird Convertable. Those 20+ years really killed the rest of the car, I'm parting that out to help foot the bill for my Ranger. So if you know anyone that needs T-bird parts, give me a ring! I hope pic posting is alright, if not just let me know and I'll take it down.
I've been hanging around this forum for about two days now and I've already learned a TON of info! you've got a great thing going here, I wish you all lots of luck on your perspective projects!

Welcome to the site. Hey I'm from that area (actually DeWitt just north of Lansing). How's the weather up there these days? Any snow yet? Glad to see a fellow Michigander. Keep us posted on the project!
