Hi Guys,
thank you for the welcome. 440truck, the motor is a 4bbl 440 and pretty much stock.
She has a 727 slapstick setup and an 8 3/4 diff. All I have done to her is to restore some of her wiring and bearings and so forth. Mainly just keeping her reliable. It will be a few years yet before I completely restore her. Right now, she is my weekend ride. She is reliable and fun and sounds great. Its hard to believe she is 38 years old!

67 GTX - hi, no the paint is not metallic. Just a bright Yellow.
She does attract a lot of bees!!

Yes it had been raining a little. That rear view was taken with my phone too so its not the best resolution...that said its not bad for a phone camera!

I got my rear Valance with the cutouts delivered at last. I need to purchase the correct exhaust tips and visit an exhaust centre to get the new pipes. However, I am going to wait a bit 'til I can get a whole stainless steel system and get it all done at the same time.
I can't wait, that rear valance on my car is annoying.
Once again thanks for all your kind remarks.
