A little update on myself, just figured out I've been registered on here for almost 12 YEARS!!! 
Almost since StangNet's inception. Anyways, my stepdaughter is a freshman in college, which happens to be a private school
I mean I'm glad she's in school, but I spent the last couple years adding a room onto the house (that I can't make into a garage!!) for her to stay in while she's at school locally, and she changes her mind in the last few months, so we get to add a zero onto the end BEFORE the decimal point, so the 'Stang still sits, as does the Fairlane.
Recently celebrated 15 years of marriage, daughter's in her last year of Jr High, son's in 4th grade, he's about the age where we can start working on the car together. (Says it's his car, and that's fine with me.)
I gotta get the garage cleaned out/up from the addition, although I need to finish the siding and stain the trim and soffit's and it's done (whew!!)
The old race 289 that I sold to a guy in Kansas with a '63 Fairlane blew it up this year after going to aluminum heads and a E85 carb. Went a fastest of 12.51 (I went 11.08 with iron heads and gasoline
) so he's building a new 306.
In 2004 I put on a FE race and had a 40th T-bolt Reunion, it was cool but cost me $7k.
Driving a '03 SportTrac now that I'm thinking about getting rid of and socking the money away for the right deal on a '99-'03 F350 7.3 Dually CrewCab, although I'll probably end up being responsible and paying off debt.
The economy hasn't been too bad here, but the engineering community has slowed down quite a bit, just now picking back up, glad I still have my job. Soon to be here for 8 years, my longest tenture at a company.
Probably like most, seems like everytime I think I'm getting ahead, I'm a little further behind, sorta like trying to walk up the down escalator.

and the car has had buckets since I've had it.
