Hello from Colorado Springs

Post by WFBT2 »

Hi,
I've been a fan of the board for years but never got around to registering. I've got a 1980 carbureted and a 82 parts car for the F.I. swap. If anybody is in the Springs area I wouldn't mind getting together to show off the spiders.

I've thought of that too and restoring the 82 but it has the typical body rot and I'm out of garage space.

Welcome to the forum! Do you know Pete Angel? I believe he's in the Colo Sprgs area and is a great guy to get to know.

Welcome to the forum as a contributing member. You don't want to listen to Mike. He's prejudiced toward the 80 carb'd models. I, on the other hand, am totally non-prejudiced when I say that if the 82 can't be saved, then using the FI for the 80 is the next best thing. :lol:
