Cool I'm baaaack

Well I'm not sure if any of ya remember me from about a year ago or so when I stopped visiting this site, but I'm back. I finally finished my '71 240z and am going to get back onto my 56! I may have scrounged up a deal to purchase a 2002 Mustang GT 4.6L motor (with EVERYTHING to make it run) for $300!!!!!! Guess I'll have to cut the old motor mounts off the frame and put the cab back on to place the new engine in its proper place! Anyway, just thought I'd say hi, and I'll be around again.

Yeah I did eventually get the Lightning seats. I'm gonna start fabricating some brackets in the cab to mount them soon. I'll be posting pictures of my "excuse" for neglecting the truck in a minute, so be sure to check that out

The Z is very nice. I don't think I've seen a 240 in the MidWest for 15 years.
