Hi Everybody

First post here - I've had a '64 F-85/Cutlass project for almost a year now and have already benefited from the knowledge in this community enough that I figured it's time I join it.

The car is a 2-door no post with a swapped 425 out of a Toronado (I think) and a TH350 behind it. It's a MAJOR project car, but was at least driveable until I blew a head gasket puttering around the neighborhood last weekend. Oh well... the fun continues. The plan is to get it to a solid 'driver' condition and then do exactly that while slowly fixing it up as time and money allow.

Anyway, happy to finally be a part of the group!

-Sean

Welcome to the site, it's good to know we've had a positive influence on you. Start a thread on your build (or projects) when you're ready and post some pictures for us to see?

Welcome! Your choice of username is funny. I'll have some pics of my own F-85 on here soon, a 63 sedan with low miles.

Haha thanks! I was going to try to make that into a license plate when I first got the car... something like WTHEF85. I didn't think it would translate though lol. Glad to have a place to use it after all.

Looks like you've got your work cut out for you, but looks like it's pretty much all there. Have fun and keep us updated with how it's going.
