About my Ranchero

My name is Andrew Harris, I am 18 years old and am currently attending WyoTech.  I bought my car 2 years ago in Bend, Oregon.  The floors were rusted out, the camshaft was cutting into the timing chain cover, brakes didnt work, no side window, front window just sitting in the window well, torn headliner, and no carpet.  It was a mess and needed lots of TLC.
I have invested $6000 into the car and most of it into fixing the floor and all of the problems.  I have fixed every thing listed above on the car and am now working on the extra things like the transmission, brake upgrades, and engine upgrades.  for mods ive added some flowtech headers, 2" side exit exhaust, K&N air filter, holley carburator, grant steering wheel, pioneer deck, and made a custom hoodscoop for it in my welding class during my last year of high school.
But when i get back home, i have an edelbrock air gap intake and a holley 600 cfm 4 barrel carburator to replace the stock intake and the 2 barrel.  it should make lots of difference in power.  from there i plan on adding some 200 cc heads w/ a 60 cc combustion chamber, a performance automatic c4 transmission, baer disks all the way around, 3.55-3.75:1 rear gears, foose nitous II rims, forged internals, a bigger cam (not sure what size yet), 2,000 rpm stall converter, and a paxton supercharger.
