I'm NEW to CMOC
Hey everyone... I notice many familiar usernames here.
Just saying HI and looking forward to being an active member here.
I'm just in the process of doing a ground up build of a 1992 Mustang Coupe (http://www.1badride.com/projects/stang) which started life as a 2.3L and is now being converted to a 5.0. Soon after that, it will be turbocharged!
Looking forward to seeing you all in the upcoming season!
BTW - I scored that coupe for $800 certified and e-tested! Take a look at the pics - UNBELEIVABLE! Even the original factory writing (that yellow marker they use) with the original production date is written on the underside of the hood! One owner! <80,000km!

When did you sell the Z06? I recall seeing that car last spring, it was a very, very nice car.

Yeah, I was out a LOT in the Z. Man, I miss that car a LOT. Had to sell it due to insurance costs. My last quote was $10,000/yr. 
BUT things have cleared up. I'm really dissapointed with the new Corvette - and very impressed with the new Mustang. We'll have to see what happens late in the year when my insurance rating goes back to normal. :cry2:
I didn't post the images up because they're HUUUUUGE!
The car is already being stripped down completely. Full length frame connectors (welded) are going on this week, and I'm blasting the underside with Rhino lining (truck bed liner). I'm getting every panel and every hinge aligned perfectly and then paint (Black). While that is being done, I will be painting the engine and other components (and/or chrome).
I'll keep posting with updates as they go. I have already secured a complete 5.0 driveline with some moderate upgrades. I also secured a complete set of cobra brakes (5-bolt).
Thanks for the comments!

I know... that's why I didn't post the images here!!
I just snapped some quick pics before it went in to be stripped. I'm no photographer. Next time I'll ask my wife to make the pics look better - it's her profession.
