Hello everyone, My name is Jared and I thouht I would finally join the forum since I read  it everyday. I am from northern Illinois. I have been into FEs for a few years and have one of my own. It's a 390 that currently resides in my 66 Fairlane GT. It is originally a Nightmist Blue GT 390 4 speed car. I have been involved with FEs since my dad has owned and raced them since he was a kid. I enjoy reading this forum very much.

Thanks, Jay. It'll be a slow ramp-up over the next few months as I got detoured by a couple of events. The local machine shop has freshened its Storm-Vulcan and other goodies, and is now awaiting delivery of a two-motor Winona hone. It's about 2 1/2 miles away, so I do the Snoopy dance with fingers crossed (yes, I can multi-task). 390 on the front burner, 428 and 460 on the side burners.

Hah!

Online? Tres boring. Due to the medical risk of shay-shaying about with untied shoes, I hired a qualified nurse to tutor me. Long legs. Short skirt. Man, I just could not get it right. Had to bend down time and time again to practice. Took weeks. Now I just need a masseuse to work on my sore neck.

Oh no, the dogs of war have been loosed. Run for your lives!

Send me that nurse, first. I'm having trouble figuring out how to work the velcro straps on my shoes.

What's with all this French?  Was the nurse French or something?  Sacrebleu!
