I found this sight yesterday, not sure where to let you know something about me, so here goes.
 
I taught and coached for 35 years both high school and middle school levels boys and girls-football, cross country, basketball and track.  In 1970 I ordered a '70 Torino GT built to my specs and had it for 3 years-gas was threatening $5.00 a gallon so I traded it (100, 010 miles) for a Celica ST.  Three months later a carbon monoxide leak, the car, me, and a cement bridge railing met up-the bridge railing won.
 
A week in intensive care I was pronounced dead, but somehow was brought back by an argument with God and the devil as who was to take me-neither wanted me.
 
I am retired now, suffering from massive headaches due to damaged areas in the brain from that wreck, but I don't mind, my life has been fun.
 
About 6 weeks ago I bought, on line, a '70 Torino GT that I am going to slowly convert to look like the one I had originally.  I will be asking a lot of questions for help and looking for parts.  I will post pictures as I go as soon as I learn how.
