Hello All. Thanks for the nice welcome.
A little more detail about my car... It's a '72 convertible. When I bought it about 5 years ago it was pretty rough. So far I've pulled and rebuilt the motor and trans. Also, I've rebuilt the suspension and replaced all of the bushings (except body mounts and diff hanger). The engine is a 350 bored out to clean the cylinders. It's now a 355 making 437 hp and 420 ft-lbs. Needless to say, it's a little more fun to drive now than before. Next items on the list are to replace the differential and install a more aggressive final drive gear. Also, I'm now going to move on to the interior and, finally, the body. My intent has been to hit the working parts first so that the car is driveable. Now I can enjoy it and upgrade the rest as time (and money!) allow.
Sorry for the long intro. This seems like a very good site. Hopefully with the lessons learned on my rebuild I can help some others out a little.
