Hey guys,

How many of you remember the Arntz Cobra on the cover of the June 1980 Hot Rod? I was just getting out of the Air Force and was a diehard Chevy guy. Nonetheless, when I saw that cover on the newsstand, the heavens parted, the angels sang, and I thought that one day I might drive something that cool. The intervening years haven't extinguished the dream.

Dave Smith is right. We build these cars for important reasons but community has to rank at the top of the list. If it's going to be just another thing sitting around gathering dust, why bother? But the driving experience, and the fellowship of like-minded people, makes this something I will have to do.

I've accumulated a pile of Mustang parts over the years and discovered that I have most of what I need. I'm hoping to start the journey in the near future.

Thanks to all who have made this a great forum.
