Signed up here last year, but have decided to become more active.
Little backstory:
Bought my 67 Belvedere I 2 door sedan at 15. Slant 6, 3 speed, if I remember correctly the paint code is WWI, blue interior - drove through high school, got a second car going into college and started building a 440 for the Plymouth. Lost interest and got into late model Mustangs, F-bodies, and Vettes, so the car sat for a number of years. After multiple bachelor's programs, got a job in Seattle, and had too many projects to take all of them w/ me, so sold the Plymouth to a friend of mine who showed interest in restoring it. After living in Seattle for a while, moved to the Wichita area, bought a house, built a reasonably powered combo for my mustang. Couple years passed and found that my friend had not touched the Plymouth, so I offered him a bit more than I sold it to him for and was lucky enough to buy the car back.
Now I'm 33 - after getting my speed fix w/ the Mustang, and deciding I've spent waaay too much money on it, I've decided to focus my attention back on the Plymouth. I've decided I want to do a late 60's super stock clone, sans advertising. What I'm undecided on are powerplants. Hemi, a mild ~500 ci Victor-headed RB dressed for relatively stock appearance, or keep the 440/906 heads currently in the car. Have an extra TKO 600 I'm researching swap info about to maybe take the car on Power Tour or something.
Have a soft spot in my heart for the 62-65 cars, as I was looking for a 64 330 when I found out that I could buy this car back. Seeing as how it has such sentimental value, I had no choice but to jump on it.
Looking forward to learning from some of you guys, and I'm decent w/ engines, so I'll help out when I can.
