Hey everyone,
I used to lurk here under the username "jackman5" I haven't been here in a while, got distracted by some other automotive projects while my Merc languished in the garage on jackstands. Well, I'm a little older, a little more focused, unloaded a couple of cars, and after a trip to the NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, KY last weekend, I'm highly motivated to get my Meteor back on the road with the intention of taking it to the Nats in Louisville next year.
My 62 Meteor Custom is my first car, and I'm the third owner. I bought it from my uncle when I was 14 years old. He had put a 289 and a C4 in it, and that's how I drove it all through high school. I've done the front end rebuild, with Granada spindles. Working on getting the brakes plumbed up, got a wiring kit for it, and then i need to focus on the interior. It needs some odds and ends but my main goal is to get it driving and then I can take care of the other items as they come.
Glad to be back, I will definitely be hitting here more frequently for ideas and motivation.
