Welcome from NYC Mike... TONS of great info and knowledge here.. We LOVE PICS.. just say'en. BTW, my wife drives and Expedition... SSHHHHH, don't tell anyone..
You are a kindred spirit: Previously project here was a '52 F-1 which I sold and even made a few $ on. Went from that to a '66 C-Body that I'm already upside-down in. It's great fun.
Just be aware: there's nothing gentle about this bunch. They are indeed knowledgeable and helpful, though. Even funny sometimes.
