I'm Mel with a MEL

Hey guys,
I was in and out of the old forum but hope to make a better showing this time. I have taken WAY TOO long to get my fathers (RIP 2003) 1957 Thunderbird on the road. Dad brought this car for himself after he was discharged from the Navy and quickly lifted, stole, borrowed a car just for the engine. This engine happened to be a MEL 430 6x2...
Along with the car is a certificate from early NASCAR when they were doing time trials on the Datona Beach Florida. 134 MPH on the sand! I also have video of this when dad and his hood friends looked like Fonzie, classic.
If somebody can give some pointers on getting photos on this site, i am happy to post them up.
I look forward to chatting with you guys (& gals) and learning a lot.
Till then...
