Hey all
Just joined the forum and looking forward to sharing and learning. Been into cars and motorcycles since I was 14. Mostly early Mustangs. Just bought a 72 coupe 350 auto. Needs a lot of work and been off the road for at least 11 years but likely longer. Has all the usual issues, yes rust! The car is all there and mostly original. I would say it was driven and repaired to keep it on the road only. Has some engine mods, Holley carb and intake, hooker side pipes. HEI distributer conversion. Needs a lot of tlc but it is all there. Looking forward to getting it on the road as a driver and progress from there. Also own a 2014 z51 and had build an 84 C4 back in the day.

I’ve actually done a lot of reading over the past few months gearing up for the build and part buying. Parts so far are close to what I paid for the whole car! It is funny how one part leads to another and another....
Thanks for the nod!
