let me explain my screen name, and introduce myself.

Hey Tom, welcome aboard! As you might've already guessed, we don't have many purists on this board. :-D I loved your intro post ... and happen to be another one with a '68 Barracuda resto mod who shares and applauds your individuality. Build it like you want.

Make yourself at home and post up some pics when you can. Keep us posted on your progress and don't be shy with the questions .... you'll find all the help you need right here.
