Hello everyone im new to the forums a friend of mine introduced me and i wanted to introduce myself. My Name is Tommy im from Toronto Canada, I have been into cars my entire life i just turned 32 i own the oddball years i have a 1978 coupe it was my first car i bought at 15 years old, and while it was in for paint i was bored and bought one of my bucket list cars a 78 king cobra, when i was 8 years old my dad had one and we used to cruise all the time with the roofs off and as a kid we went to a local show and parked beside a white king with t tops you never see one let along two. fast forward 15 years later and i bought that car it took a year of negotiations but i brought it home. that is the car i will be pro touring i want to keep the body and overall look period correct no major changes but i want to make it handle like a brand new car modern suspension 17 inch wheels fat tires ac and drive anywhere with lots of power. I build a very mild 304 cubic inch small block aluminum heads hydraulic roller and when i convert my coupe to turbos i will be putting my little vortech s trim on the king as well, let me know what you think i will be asking for a lot of advice and opinions since i am new to pro touring, i have always been a straight line pro street kind of guy.

Welcome to the site. Your red coupe is the first time I even knew they made a coupe in the Mustang II years. Very interesting seeing it. Good luck with the King Cobra. This will be fun to watch.

Welcome to the site Tommy. Bunch of great people on here. Cant wait to see the progress on your builds.
