hello all. I'm a lifelong ford guy and have owned many over the years. Currently I'm restoring a 70 cobra and since I'm a purist I am looking for information on different aspects of the car (along with hopefully some parts sources on hard to find parts). I look forward to talking with all of you because I also have lots of experience with old fords and can bring info to the table

Welcome. Can't wait to see pics. We love them. More is better. Sorry but I know nothing about cobras aside from almost getting bitten by one on my honeymoon.

I'm looking for a set of cj exhaust manifolds and a grille for the beast not very easy to find unless I'm willing to part with an arm or leg.

A shell in primer is awesome!! That’s a lot farther ahead than I am right now, so even pics like that are encouragement to a LOT of us out here

Welcome to the forum!  I upgraded you to a full member, so you have full forum access.  Feel free to upload pics, we all love Torinos even if they are just in primer!
