Title: Lucky forum members
Post by: 1969 Cale II on November 11, 2014, 08:03:22 PM
I hope you guys on this forum know how lucky you are to have this. There is so much info on the Mustangs and so many people that KNOW stuff to help make your cars better. You can tell by my user name I don't own a mustang, so trying to find stuff about Cyclones and more specifically Spoiler II's is almost impossible. I joined this forum to learn what is in common with the Mustang (more than you think) and to find vendors to help me out, which I have had 3 people from this forum do stuff for me. I am doing a concours resto on this car and when I talk to an 'expert' they don't know and don't care to even find out an answer. I am left finding out for my self. They only made 353 bodies (not just an option code) and I have learned how these cars are built, items that the experts don't know. I know the number of mustangs made makes this happen, but being so few people that have any help can be a downer.
Keep up the good work.

Me too!  Always find something new / interesting / useful here.  Alot of it does apply, even though I'm not sporting a mustang.
Thanks You!

 I don't own a Mustang either. I have owned several though. I currently have a '78 Futura with '79 Cobra guts. I came on here looking to find out what a pair of rims I had were originally from. I received the answer immediately. I stay on here because I like the folks on here and I have gained some valuable knowledge. I know zip about concourse restos (I'm a street car/racer), but I have a lot of other experiences that I can contribute when applicable. 
 And, BTW, I love Mercurys as well. Just sold a 5,000 actual mile '72 Montego MX Brougham 2dr..  Any pics of Your Merc?
 Thank You, Mr. Speegle for this site. Well run.

As a reminder (or education for some) I was just the third spoke in the wheel in the design and development of the site. Charles insisted ;) that I follow him to this new site Randy had initially had set up for our specific focus. Randy was a great help in working behind the curtain and making sure the lights stayed on. In 2013 Charles and I took over the site allowing him time for other things.  So it's no one person that is responsible for what we have here today and we could not have grown this large without ALLOT of support from the membership, especially the charter members that joined up the first few weeks to show support for the idea and site.

Just wanted to make clear this is not solely my site though I'm proud of what we all have done here, I'm just one of the members that currently has the time to dedicate to it, has keys to the front door and sweeps up around the place.  Just happy to be of service - but enough about us ....... back to the details :)

That's the other Randy, who went by the Internet name "Sluggo".  Just in case someone was confused about names...

I met Richard Fleener at a couple of car shows in California, he is pretty passionate about the Cyclone Spoilers. I understand that he and his wife moved to the midwest? I also have a friend of mine that has Yarborough Special in storage.
