Hello from a new member

Hi! I just bought my first real project car, a 1966 F-85. It’s in rough shape but the 330 runs and the trans shifts like it should. I have plans for projects like a new trunk pan and rear wheelhousings, a brake system overhaul, and fixing rust damage on the body. I will eventually have the car painted and take the engine out and go through it but I think I’d like to get it on the road and drive it for a bit first.

I’ve been browsing these forums a bit and this seems like a great place with a great wealth of knowledge. I’m looking forward to contributing and learning what I can here.

Welcome and nice Olds! I think you have the right idea, make it safe and drive it, restore it as you go along.
