I finally made it past the logon page.

Hello fellow 57 Ford enthusiasts.  I recently bought (six months ago) a 57 Ford Ranchero.  I found this site but even after registering, I could not get into the website as a member.  I finally found the page to get a new password and that did the trick.  I am looking forward to conversing with you all and giving and getting information to help with my build.  My Ranchero is original white (I think) over pink ( I know that isn't stock).  It looks like Elvis left the auditorium and left his ride also.  I bought it because the basic car was solid and the price was right.  It has a 351 Ford and what I think is a C4 tranny.  It is lowered with chrome reverse wheels, baby moons and fake lakes pipes.  Basically old school.  I have been buying parts from Carpenter, C & G and Steele to spruce it up and get it presentable.  I have to rebuild the Holley and put power brakes on it, it doesn't like to go from idle to speed and once there, the brakes are like Flintstones.  I was told it has disc's up front but the dual master doesn't seem to be up to the task.  Looking forward to going further that around the block.  A little about me, I am in SoCal, living alone since my wife died three years ago.  I am a Vietnam vet and belong to the local American Legion Post.  I also belong to the SCTA Gear Grinder club.  We do landspeed events at El Mirage Dry Lake and Bonneville.  I set a record at El Mirage a while back and was lucky enough to get into the 200 MPH club there.  Never made it into the Bonneville club, but we blew up many motors trying...?.The Silver Fox
