I've been just kind of reading post on this board for a month or so. Been into cars most of my life, was mostly muscle cars until a few years ago when I met some guys with mid-five chevies and they asked me to join the club they belonged to. I have a lot to learn about traditional rods. I've enjoyed reading the post, sounds like everyone has a good time. Hope I can fit in.

A while back I bought a 56 ford parklane 2 door wagon. This is the car I am currently working on. I also have a 68 GTO that was the first car I actually bought.


If I can figure out how to attach pictures I will post them.

The front of the frame where the suspension mounts is rusting out, will most likely sub it. Would like to lower it, and since it will be driven quite a bit will update the drive train, possibly with newer fuel injected ford v-8 like out of a mustang, crown vic or explorer. Also an Automatic overdrive tranny. I know it is not traditional, but hope to spend lots of miles in it and it needs to be practical. The interior will be pretty basic, but comfortable. Haven't decided about any body mods or paint.
