    I stayed up late reading all I could in the forum, what a great group! I have the bug again so after 30 years I am pulling my 75 Comet GT 302 turbo out of storage and finishing the rebuild that I started in 1980. I haven't even seen it in 10 or 15 years and after a few hours here, I feel excited like it's high school all over again. I was about 90% done, enough to fire it up but never even got the exhaust or drive shaft connected before life led me to other interests. I thought I'd really be on my own and have a tough time garnering info and parts but after discovering this site, I feel much more confident.

    When I get it towed over here in the next week or so, I'll post some photo's, the mods and the story that goes with them for those who are interested. I look forward to being part of the gang.
    Reagrds, Joe
