Connecticut, here. A world away from most of you guys.

 

From Rhineland MO, population is less than 200....yaahhhooooo!!!!! Actually about 80 miles west of St. Louis.

 

Wow, I thought all you guys were from the midwest to the east coast!
I'm also out in California. Anaheim to be exact! A stones throw from Disneyland.
My 67 fastback just made it into the body shop for some floor pan work. then it's off to be media blasted.
All you guys talking about driving your cars makes me envious.

 

You'll get there Syntax. Just keep plugging away, and someday soon you will be cruising around Disneyland. I was at Disneyland in Anaheim several years ago, and was standing in the street in front of a shop, when lo and behold, Dolly Parton came out of the store. I asked to have a picture taken with her, and she agreed. Yeah, she is definitely well endowed.

 

Im from just south of calgary alberta, in a little hick town

 

I'm in Ontario Ca., and finishing up the restoration of a 67 GTA S-code fastback, with a 390 stroked to a 416, which should be on the road in a couple of weeks.

 

Hey, Jimmie.....post some pics of your car, and especially that engine. Man, what a set-up. You lucky dog you. And, excuse my bad manners. I just now realized this is your first post on this forum. Welcome, and come back a lot to tell us how you did your restoration, and to give good advice to others who post for information.

 

This my 67, waiting for the 416, which is in my son's shop going through final assembly. Hopefully it should be done by next week.

WOW! That is a beautiful car. Have you thought about lowering the front end? Or will the engine lower it to what you want? A 416 huh? Never heard of one. Tell us about that engine.

 

The engine and c-6 combo will add about 800 lbs to the front end, and the Shelby drop may bring it down another 1/2 inch. Which should bring it down where it should be. Also I added a before paint and body work photo.
