Greetings!
Newly joined - Moderator on the British Car Forum, so I know many of you already.
Long story short: I bought one of Tony Barnhill's projects ('70 BGT), and am in the process of making the decision about an engine conversion. Will have lots of questions down the road.
Just wanted to drop in and introduce myself.
Be gentle: I bruise easily!

Welcome Mickey, Tony was also a friend and I visited his shop on several occasions. He purchased 3 OD's from me. I really enjoyed going down to visit. I live just across The Line about 30 miles from his place. Glad to have you over. North of Hazel Green al
Thanks, Kelly. Stay tuned for more word on the auction at Tony's. I think Bob White has posted info here, but it's to be held on Friday, October 22 at the house, and online as well.
Thanks, David! Looking forward to gleaning/sharing info here.

Yeah, with that "Welcome to the 'dark side'" thing, I was expecting his next words to be, "I'm your father!" :D
Tony and Jerri were very close to my wife and me. Getting his stuff ready for auction has been quite an experience.
Welcome, Mickey!!!!!!!!!

The tone here is different that that of the BCF....but there is a wealth of information for those interested in a V8 (or a V6) conversion.
I suggest that you also join http://www.britishv8.org if you've not done so already.
Taking about fathers, the guy above this post Rick I. He is the father.
You will have a good time here Mickey.
Keep in mind that we have a V6 and V8 meet every year. 2011 will be in TN. Mr. Masters (the other father) will be doing the hard work for us to have a good time.
Visit www.britishv8.org Great place.

May 15... Hmmmm.... - have to hustle to get the GT ready by then. But will work on getting there one way or the other!
Can we all fit in your cabin???"
Sardines!
Little bitty cabin - a bedroom and a "living area".
I'd say it would be cozy, but I know some of you... ;)
