WOW!! I am so glad I found this place. I'm sort of new at the classic restoration thing and am willing to learn as much as I can. I spent some time in Wa. state looking at some of the classics they have there and wanted to try my hand at it. I am currently working on a 1966 Ranchero and to say it needs some work is an understatement. Pics are in my garage on the site. The engine was hydrolocked because some idiot cut a hole in the hood for a scoop and left the air cleaner off. I got 5 Gal. of water and oil out of the crank case. The good thing is it has 10.5 to 1 pistons in the 302 that was in it. I got some aluminum racing heads for it and plan on adding some roller rockers and lifters with an RV cam.

I just acquired a 1979 gt ranchero 351. It was somewhat misrepresented on ebay and it looks like the previous owner did not like the wiring. I am a 59 year old doc and havent worked on a car in a couple of decades.Any body know how to remove the fusebox as my interior lights dont work and it looks like the fuse holder has been physically removed.
