    Angie, i hate to dissapoint but i have my mind set on green! :p

    52 csb, yep after i cut the wheel wells for the tires im gonna start working on a cover. i have a friend been coming over on weekends and building an english wheel. im hoping to use this if its succesful.

    heres an update on my car:
    -ive installed the mustang II from no limit. im very pleased with the product so far but they shipped the wrong rack and forgot to include shock brackets. so im currently at a stand still waiting on them. (i hate waiting)i spoke to them today and their shipping out the correct parts. i was actually hoping to roll this thing out by monday but its clear thats not going to happen now. :mad: oh and thanks goes to outlaw52 for help and basically giving me the "dont think, just do it" attitude i needed to put this thing on haha. its my first one!

    im going to have to modify the top mount if i use these...what size bag is anyone else using? im thinking i shouldve got the 6" (RE6) but i was going by their ratings for wieght..



    -picked up a motor couple days ago from a local high school for a really good price. they rebuild'em, check'em, run'em, and warranty them so i feel i got a pretty good deal. its a 350 bored over 30, sterling pistons, corvette cam and vortec heads. i'll be keeping it black and chrome or polishing everything else.
