Thanks everyone for the welcome!

srh3trinity - The 'acts like adults' is the key thing there I think lol. On a lot of the Ford only sites, you have younger kids, as well as some who've never grown up. Also, I've found that when dealing with 'only' Ford guys, or 'only' GM guys...people tend to get into a mindset of what's 'right' and definately what's 'wrong'. I think the fact that this is a cross-brand board helps keep everyone open minded =). Don't get me wrong...sometimes I think I bleed Ford Blue, but a really nice, well built '67 Camaro gets me just as much as a nice '67 Mustang would.

speedster - You know, planning HAS seemed to be the hardest part lol. I've got an Excell Sheet with a list of parts and prices you wouldn't believe, and it's constantly changing as I find new parts for better prices, or change my direction entirely on various areas. For example I didn't think using late model Mustang rims was really an option (hadn't looked into the offset issues yet..that's a bit down the road). After reading around here, I was able to knock over $1k off my wheel and tire price, by going over from Torq-Thrust II's and BFG's to SVT Bullitts with Sumitomo's. Looks will be similar, performance might drop a bit from the tire change, but treadwear will go up I'm sure, and the cost savings from buying tires once a month will definately drop =).

Anyhow, it's going to be awhile unless I win the Lottery, but with some time and effort, maybe you guys can help me go from the first pictures here, to something somewhat resembling the last =).

Oh, by the way...that's not my messy yard in the first picture lol, it's where I bought the car from! Just a side yard area at the guys house.
