Hi everyone I'm Sidney and my car is a 1973 gran torino 4 door with a 351w and fmx trans. I got the car back in 2015 December and it was my first car. Unfortunately 3 months later I had a head-on accident and I've been rebuilding/upgrading ever since. I've been on the site for a little while already but decided it was time to start posting, learning and sharing everything I can as I come closer to finishing the rebuild. I will look forward to interacting with yall.

Welcome aboard. I have upgraded you to a new member. Too bad about the head on collision. Post some pics or start a project thread.

Thank you. I should have all the parts I need. I'm waiting to finish the body in till I'm comfortable with the way its running. It's down to tuning it and making sure it doesn't die when it's in gear.
