Back in the game!

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. Just bought a '85 GSL-SE and can't wait to get started working on it. Owned 2 SA's in the past but this is my first FB. Spent the last 10 years or so building and racing Mustangs but decided it would be nice to ditch the pistons and have some fun. Still have alot of 5.0 parts and engines I'm getting rid of. I'm also looking for an SA that's in good condition. Not so much worried about the mechanical or interior condition but the body has to be tight. No rust! If anyone runs across anything let me know.

Thanks alot for the info. I've been on the site reading for about 2 months(lots of great info here). I picked my 7 up on Christmas eve and finally joined the site so I could post and ask questions when I get stuck. When I had my SA's I didn't have the web but I was fortunate that I lived in Tacoma, WA at the time so I could stop by Atkins and ask questions. Man you've got a nice collection of cars, hope to add a few to my collection in the next few months. I'm in Ga right now and the car is in Bama but soon as I get back I'll post some pics.

Guy also has a couple Fords as well. But, we forgive him for that because he's just getting older and confused.

Anyways, welcome to the Forum. Finally glad to see another -SE owner. I feel so lonely around all these carb guys.
