hi s-code (i assume you have a 390 gt). i have been around for 20+ years but just found this forum recently. i have been a mechanic at a lincoln mercury dealership, i am a trained auto shop teacher, started my own restoration business in 1984 (and have done work for brizio's, don garlits, and vic edelbrock just to drop a couple of names), started manufacturing repro parts in 1989, was a senior judge for the CCOA, ran the XR7-G registry in the 80's, was a consultant on a restoration guide put out by the early V8 ford club, have written numerous magazine articles and books about fords, and currently i am restoring two cougars (a 68 s code XR7-G and a 69 428 CJ)and modifying a 62 t-bird landau. my hobbys include knitting afghans and oh! wait thats wrong (not to mention not PC!). actually i have a scathing sense of humour and i sell vintage car parts for a living. my blood is primarily blue but well you know....whats your story? hawkrod
PS here is a pic of the bird i am building. i just dropped in a new 390 and put the 16 inch wheels on it. 4 wheel disc brakes are in the garage. and the car is at the body shop getting a coat of black suede right now.
