They're damn good engines. However, they seep a bit of oil in areas that are common to all FE's. I believe coverage has never been better, as far...
I'm just enjoying watching and listening (or reading, in this case). Great work, btw. Loudbang, you and I must have very similar interests...
That shoots down what I was thinking which was finishing out the sheet metal in the rear and then run nerf bars. I was also thinking of finishing...
Do you know your antennas are crooked? I wanted to be the first that asked cause I think you're going to hear that one a lot, lol. Kevin
You've said this a couple times now. It sure doesn't seem to slow you down or stop you, though. Looking awesome, can't wait to see the antenna's...

They're very cool, I'm pretty sure I like them. Can't wait to see the front. Kevin
Simple, it's a tribute to my Dad. Smartest, most naturally talented man I have ever known. His grandsons got it, too. I'm his son, Kevin.
Looking great, good work. What about leaving the bumper where it's at under the tail lights, cutting and pulling the center of the bumper up to...
Drywalled houses in the late 70's early 80's from age 18 to 24, the last 4 years on my own. Used to carry thousands of dollars around with me in...
