    Kill switch in the cigarette lighter... how?

    Post them pics!!!!!!

    It was laying on the fender...Hunkins wanted me to run tight circles as fast as I could without spinning out so I am at almost full lock. I am raising it up one inch in the back and a half inch in the front...hopefully that will be enough. How is your wheel decision going?

    here are my choices for the torino!!!! vote now please read options prevoting

    I would run either 17's or 18's with as wide as possible 40 series rubber and hunker the car down around them. Its all about stance and I personally prefer a more modern agressive look than the total classic look. Like I did to my Mustang...

    Long tubes vs equal length shorties

    I agree. I had issues with the long tubes dragging at stock ride height. So going to shorties for a lowered car is ideal for ground clearance. For a street car this is more important to me than all hp.
