Talking Another new guy

Hi, my name is Bob from Virginia Beach. I wanted a new hobby and decided to work on a car and learn as I go. I bought a 1977 Rancero 500 with a 351W/FMX from an original owner that must have kept it in a barn or something - rust free!!!!. It has been a really good learning experience. So far I have replaced all suspension components with poly, replaced the intake with a 4bbl, 600 cfm carb, new cam, timing set, water pump and repainted the block Ford Blue. Next will be dual exhausts, paint job, big fat wheels, new carpet and seat covers. I have also been thinking about replaceing the rear end gearing. Having fun. Can't wait to drive it.

Thumbs up ok so I'm new

I built a 1970 Galaxy 500 w/460 4bbl - it was a 4dr. The guy I bought it from decided he liked it and bought it back. My last one I built was a 1977 F100 w/300-6 & 3spd w/od. What a beauty it was going to be. It was getting right where I loved it then it got t-boned . I miss that one. I now have a 96 F150 Extended cab Flare side. It's got possibilities...
