Intro.

[Squareback <tfink@hubcap.clemson.edu>]

Well, I guess that is about time that I sent in an introduction. 
My name is Timothy Fink, I am 23 years old, and a Mechanical Engineering
Student at Clemson University.  Currently school is out for the summer
and I am at home in Moore, SC.  

My project is a '69 Squareback.   I have been working on the car
for 2 years.  The car needed a lot of work when I got it.  A whopping 
sum of $75 dollars was paid for the car.  It was complete, with manual 
transmission, fuel injected engine, a fair amount of rust, and some
little 
critters.  The car had been sitting for 14 years, and a good bit of that
was spent in a field.  I bought it on July 4th, 1994 and towed it home.  
The little car sat for a year before I stared to work on it.  Since then
I
have had the rocker panels replaced, built a new 1776 engine, and
started
to remove rust and fix the body.  There is also the usual brake job, and 
suspension modifications.  I am going custom with this car.  All
moldings 
will be shaved, and I have already installed the 1-piece door glass.  I
really 
want to make a autocross type of car out of it.  I don't want to race
it, I 
just want it to handle and run like one.  

It's an ongoing project and hopefully I will complete it within another
year.
