introduction: newbie here December 04, 2006, 01:22:07 PM Hey everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been on both NATO and turboford for a number of years, so I'm not exactly a newb, just new to this site. Normally I just lurk, but from time to time I'll chime in. I live in northern IL and am 28. I'm a machinist by trade, specializing in custom sheetmetal work. I've loved and worked on fords since I was 18. Currently I own two 88 turbocoupes. One I've had since I was 19. It started as my daily driver, but its now more like a streetable racecar. Lots of mods which I don't feel like rambling on about, if interested do a search on 2940 over at NATO. That's the weight, without me, I've gotten it down to. I'm hoping for a race weight of 3000 lbs next year and with some tuning and additional mods over the winter around 300 ponies at the wheels. My other TC I just bought this past summer. It was someone else's project that I acquired half built. Its a roller right now but I have big/long term plans for it. As it sits gutted, the mods are 14 pt cage, subframes/torque boxes, fuel cell, 9" rear end, Griggs tubular K with A arms. Not sure what the heck I'm going to do with it for sure, but I knew I couldn't pass it up for the price. I'll keep the price secret otherwise you will all immediately hate me. Anyways, just wanted to say hello. If there's anyone in my neck of the woods who wants to hangout/needs help wrenching, I have a 1000 sq ft garage a little southwest of where I88 and I39 intersect.
