    hey everyone,
    i joined a little while back and have made a couple of posts already, but i never posted to introduce myself. so a big hello to everyone from me, Luke, up here in michigan and below is a pic of my car a 72 comet gt, factory gt, 302, and air. i have 17in mustang bullit wheels for it in the garage, but i am waiting on my spacers from ebay. and i have already started the prep work for a new paint job. i have gotten tons of help from this site already so thanks a lot.

    thanks guys, and no, i am not keeping it green. it was green from the factory, but i am going to paint it gun metal and put the original gt stripes back on it, and i am considering shaving the side marker lights too
