Hello, everyone. My name is Andy and I've started a new coupe build in Atlanta. My plan is to produce a car that might be something like the Shelby guys would have sold if it had gone to production. It will be a mostly vintage look, without trying to be concours. I've just returned from the build school and took copious notes. Also, many thanks to Garry Bopp for the good advice he has already imparted. I'm lucky to have him a few miles away.

So- with regard to the motor: Given that I have lots of free time; a love of eccentric, annoying cars; a priority on sound and the intangibles of a motor; and a masochistic streak, I will now give you "Elder Statesmen" a few days to talk me out of Webers. Or at the very least, an 8-stack EFI.

Ready, go.

My thanks in advance for your replies to all my future questions. As for the jacket, I'll need a 40 Long.

-Andy
