    Hey from North Carolina!

    I am finally getting my dream car after following and false starts for years. Some of you might remember me from a few of the gatherings at Whitby Motorcars.
    Then again, maybe not
    Ordered the 289 and planning on going more or less period looking. Kit should be here in Feb.
    I have the engine block at a local engine builder to have it balanced and blueprinted, heads, cam .. and all of the other things I don't understand. Now starting to look for the rest of the drive train ... finding it hard to contain myself!
