::welcome:: from another fellow Texan that lives in San Diego, CA! I, like everyone else on this site, am glad you kept your Mach1 over the years. I have had my 71 Grande for about 18 years now and have tried selling her from time to time, but am happy she stayed mine! Good luck on your project and hope to see current pictures soon.
Welcome from Phoenix! I am glad you kept it and are giving it some attention. Yeah, it's a different hobby with the internet. Parts and information (and mis-information) are easier to find. This site will be invaluable for getting 'good' information.
