My name's Evan, and I've been around cars and hot rods my whole life. I've owned 40 cars in my 32 years on this planet, and the majority of them were 1st gen (79-85) RX-7's. I've had everything from: a Mercury Tracer, to an Impala SS, to a plethora (13 total: 11 1st gens, 1 2nd gen 'vert, and 1 3rd gen track car) of RX-7's, a Maxima, two versions of my unhealthy obsession with the main character from the A-Team (the Van!), a few rat rods, a few Subaru Legacy's, and now we're here. We've got a '93 Subaru Legacy L AWD 4eat Sedan that the wife drives (265K and still runs like a top!), and I put over 1000mi/wk on my '11 VW Jetta TDI 6spd Sedan. So, why am I even posting on Fordification? Because my pride and joy... my 1977 Mercury Monarch kustom/rat rod/street cruiser/bruiser is being traded for a 1968 Ford F100 Ranger truck this weekend. I've been doing a TON of research about it, and this site has been invaluable. The previous owner of the truck swapped in an AOD tranny, which now needs a rebuild. I'm not sure if he also swapped in a 302 or not, but that's my inclination. It didn't look like a FE motor, but I could be wrong. I didn't count the valve cover bolts.
Until then, I'm ready for the hazing and helpful advice! I've been on car forums for a LONG time, and worked as a chef for the last 16 years... so I'm not one with thin skin. If I'm being a ruhtard, let me know.
And the reason behind my screenname, is because I have a luxury detailing business on the side. I've got a page on the facebook by the same name.
So, yeah, there ya' go. Do I have to get jumped in, now?
