Hey all, long time reader first time writer. I've joined because this community seems to fit how and what I build. I'm from Australia so good advice from people used to working with American-based engines in particular can be hard to find sometimes.
Anyway, on to the 'Cruiser! I picked her up for $4500, complete with 35" Mickey Thompson Baja MT's on billet aluminium 15" wheels. The rear had a false-floor system I sold for $150 to a friend and under the bonnet there was a great big 351 Cleveland topped with a few nice goodies such as MSD Pro-Billet distributor and Blaster Coil, Holley 600cfm four-barrel carb and a single-plane aluminium intake manifold.
The bad? She had more rust than body, the aftermarket suspension was riding very stiff due to a load rating mismatch, and both the driveline and engine needed attention big time. Oh yeah, the heater was stuck on, too.
Picture time:
On pickup:
Rear false floor:
The Cleveland!
Cheers all, more to come.
