Ok, so somebody posted a reply to my ad that said "Might be nice if you went here first". So, I'm here. Not one to talk about stuff much, I would really rather do and let my cars speak for me but here goes.

First, I have been a mechanic for about 30 years. I did a 20 year career in the Army. I have a 1976 International Scout SSII, all fibreglass, 392 with 4-71 blower, 4.09 lockers, 727 tranny, more goodies, etc. I am building a 1971 Maverick. Currently in the process of collectiing parts. So far I have a car, narrowed nine inch with auburn locker, Mickey Thompson rear and Kelly Springfield fronts. Probably will be a 351W. I have a 460 that I was preparing for it, but decided to go to a lighter engine. I also have a 302 roller motor, but haven't made any final decisions. Thirdly, I have a 89 Bronco with a 400M. I stuffed the 400 into it with a c-6, Holley Projection, NOS nitrous system, etc. Because I have two 4x4's my wife decided I would sell one. I am detuning the Bronco and getting rid of it. I have a 2000 Ford Expedition, a 89 Probe, (166,000 miles and 30 mile to the gallon) parts chaser and daily driver. Projects on hold include a 1970 Charger with a 383. Engines done, body is extremely good, just need more time and money, a Ford Phaeton project that has an IH drivetrain, and a 1967 Scout. I have about 12 Scouts and IH trucks sitting around in various states of disarray. Projects for other people include a 1980's Dodge Pickup that is shaved and a built 360. A 1938 Buick that I am rewiring and rebuilding the suspension, and a couple of engine rebuilds going.

Will, since I don't like to talk much, I guess that is about it. Other projects will come and go.

Welcome to CHR, toy. Sounds like a whole flock of projects going on. Hope you enjoy your time here.
