Just thought i would introduce myself before i start flooding the board with question. As you can see in the above picture, i have a 1965 coupe that has a long way to go. Other than brakes, i have everything else to do. anyways, you can expect alot of questions... so be prepared

Welcome to the site

what are you planning ? Restoration ? Resto-Mod ?

Whats up first ?

Ah good, another Texas boy.

I'd imagine that the first round of questions is going to involve rust repair and the miracles of POR-15.

right now i have the motor completely apart, and its going to the machine shop sometime this week or the next. im planning more of a restomod, but the first priority it to get it running, rust free, and driveable, so i can drop the payments on my explorer (college kid=limited funds, you have heard it all before). and i cant help modifying my vehicles, and its hard to do when the aftermarket for explorers basically doesnt exist and i dont have money left to modify the explorer because i am still buying it.
here is a pic of the 289, after it was sitting in a field with no hood. it wouldnt have been a problem if just wouldnt have rained for those 2 years.

Welcome to the forum, you will find many answers here. How is the undercarriage of the car? Looks like a fun project, good luck with it.

A friend of mine's 65 started off looking something like that. I'll have to post a pic when I get home (one of the few I have of it-he's usually flyin' around in it-built 351w, it REALLY hauls!). I wish I had a before pic.

Good luck on your project!
