yes, that would be me.
Thanks All!
I really enjoy this site. When I go onto my computer (which is many times a day)
I always look for updates here before anything else.
I am very excited about my current project & have had an interest in these trucks since October of 1965 when my dad pulled into the driveway with a brand new 1966 F100. Its what I learned to drive in way back when. (years later he gave it to me along with the love of cars)
I am probably more of a Ford/Mercury fan but have owned a 68 Camaro RS,
a 69 SS and a 69 RS along with a new 83 H.O. Also a bunch of Mopars most recent a low mile all original 1970 SuperBird.
I have done a lot of restorations like the Boss 302 but there is nothing like updating a muscle car to current standards in handling/braking. Getting the older look in a modern chassis.
I am very seriously considering taking a brand new car I have..... Utilizing the entire car less body into something older and lighter in weight. First car that comes to mind is a 1966 Cyclone as pictured above. That car in particular if I could find it would be a great start. The car I am seriously considering canibalizing?
These cars have such incredible ABS, Traction Control and power plant that can be updated to 900+ hp easily with just a blower change and a tune.
Here is the car: Have tried to sell it to finance another project but its now close to what I think the parts would be worth to me......
If anyone here is interested in a Brand new KR body let me know...
