About time to introduce myself

Hi, my name is Mark Stuart. I live in Mendota, Illinois. I have been a Ford fan for most of my life. I currently have 3, 63 Galaxies, a 65 Mustang with a Gurnee Eagle engine and a Richmond Gear 5 speed. I also have an 84 SVO Mustang. I have been a member for a while, but I forgot my user name and password. I have been reading older posts to gain information on a build I am doing, so I thought it was time to introduce myself. I am currently building a Daytona Coupe from Chuck's plans. Is there anyone out their building a coupe using Chuck's plans or does anyone know someone who is? I am looking to compare notes. Since I am scratch building, I will be hanging out on the scratch builders forum. I started my project last February and I have been on and off it for awhile. It seems the farther along you get the more questions need to be answered. Some questions I have needed answered, I have found in old posts. From here I will be heading over to the scratch builders forum. Thanks for listening, Mark Stuart

Hello Mark - show us some pictures when you get a chance. I would like to know who the hell is Chuck and what are his plans? I would like to see what is involved on doing the scratch build.

Thanks for the welcome. I need to figure out how to post the pictures and what size they should be. Where should I post the pictures? To this thread or where? Sorry, I assumed everyone knew who Chuck Linquist is? His build site is: http://home.comcast.net/~chuckcobra/
If you check Chuck's site out, my project is looking just about like his did when he first started. I am working on 2 chasis', one for under the buck and one to put sheet metal on as it gets formed. I have a lot of tubing bent, formed and welded together and it is starting to look like a coupe chasis. I have a body buck built and it needs some tweaking here and there, but the general shape is there. Right now it is pretty cold in the garage with no heat. I can't see to weld because my helmet instantly fogs up. Is there anything I can buy, so my lens won't fog up so quickly. Thanks Mark Stuart
