I recently purchased a 67 442 hardtop and I'm starting to wonder if I bit off more than I can chew.I'm going to read alot of these posts then make up my mind.
Thanks for adding me.

Richard

Welcome to the site, congrats I'm a big fan of the 64-67 A body cars. Biting off more than you can chew in what way?

Depends on your overall goal.

Welcome aboard Richard, a 67 442 is in the top 5 of most desirable 442s...

If your gonna throw money at a 442 you have one of the ones you want to do that with, hopefully that helps ease your mind.

Welcome to the group from one 67 owner to another... What are your concerns??? If you take small bites at a time, it may not be as bad as you may think...LOL

Welcome aboard!

You're doing better than I am. I have a 1967 400 engine but no 442 to put it in.

Welcome. As others said, just take it one step at a time. Make sure it's safe and enjoy it. I wouldn't recommend taking it all apart at once. Then you do get overwhelmed and easy to give up- lots of examples of that, for sure.... Keep us posted!!

Don't look so bad to me, I have a 67 build thread here and another in the past here and a 67 Cutlass wagon thread. What does it need and what are your plans? We all love pictures!!
