Hi, just wanted to thank Mike for the invite and say I'm here.
I'm an active MCA, SAAC, SVOCA, and (used to be) SVTOA participant, who can say that every car I own is a Mustang, except the Expedition I use to trailer my show cars. I'm very active in my local club (Mustang Shelby Club of Long Island), where I contribute to the newsletter often, and chair the MCA Show committee. Show cars are my area of interest (MCA Judge). I return them to the way they came out of the factory, in process preserving American History. I've also been known to turn a hot lap at Watkins Glenn, Lime Rock, and Thunderbolt Raceway on occassion.
Those that know me will find the articles I've written for national car magazines on the net here and there. Whether it's welding floors in my '67 Shelby GT350, detailing the engine compartment of my '70 Mach I, or replacing the clutch in my '86 SVO, I share what I've learned. My business has nothing to do with automobiles, so I had to learn everything I wanted to do by doing it. Thanks to the help of many others, I've been enriched, and see it as my duty to pass on the same. You find me posting on several Mustang virtual communities.
After a brief affair with a '74 Pantera, I settled in on the Shelby and Boss Mustangs as ultimates. I'm convinced that the 1967 Shelby is the ultimate Muscle Car. With in the next 6 months, I'll purchase a 2010 Shelby GT500; I've just got to have it.
Right now, I'm in the middle of a total makeover of my '70 Boss 302. This unmolested California car has less than 50K miles, and is a perfect car for a concours restoration. When I'm done, a very rare 67 GT vert awaits a restoration I've started and stopped for years. My 86 SVO just joined the "to be restored" list.
It's great to be here.

. That was a very nice Intro and left me with very little questions except one... Where are the pictures of your rides I just have to see them. lol They sound real nice.
Thanks for joining the chaos we like to call NYM. I have to agree that you have quite a resume there.
