Hello everyone!

My name is KC and I'm the new owner of my childhood dream car. I picked up a 68 Roadrunner recently and am looking forward to many fun days and nights cruising around town. Glad to be a part of this group as I'm sure that I can learn a lot form everyone.

The that I picked up is not originally black, but that's fine with me because it's the color that I wanted it. I've been having a blast decoding the fender tag and learning about the car. It's all numbers matching and just a dream to drive...except the steering. My shoulders are going to bulk up a little I'm sure...haha.

Thanks! I'm up in La Grange and Copper often visiting family and friends. I love it up that way.
