I found this site while looking for some tech. info. for the 68 GT my son and I are working on for his "first car". I'm from Georgia, and I hope to learn from the members here, and hope I hope that I can share whatever I know with anyone (that's crazy enough to listen). I hope to make a few friends along the way as well. Thanks for having me!
