    Another new guy here from San Diego, CA. I don't currently have a Shelby, or even a Mustang for that matter, but hopefully someday soon. I am and always will be a die hard Ford fan.

    Growing up all I ever wanted was a Mustang fastback. Unfortunately when I was 14 and buying my first car, both fastbacks that I looked at were a little too rough for my first attempt at a restoration (looking back I wish I could have picked them all up!). I ended up with a Springtime Yellow 67 GTA coupe. By the time I turned 16 it was running and on the road, and when I graduated high school it was completely restored. 2 years later I moved to Virginia to finish my bachelors degree in business, so the car had to go. Now, 10 years later I still miss that car, but know one day I'll have a fastback like I always wanted.

    Currently I'm working on a few Ford projects with my dad. We are in the middle of getting a 63 406 Galaxie on the road, and building a Thunderbolt replica from the ground up. We also buy and sell many different Fords, and in the last 5 years have probably had mroe that 20, including a Sunbeam Tiger and a 69 R Code Mach 1.

    Hopefully some day soon I'll end up with my fastback so I can do a tastefull Shelby tribute and not another Eleanore (no offense to anyone who has one).

    I'm looking forward to contributing here where I can.

    -Ben
