What type of show is it?


Doubles Hoagies is a sandwich shop in the little strip mall thing on the corner of Wickham and Nasa. That's where I work.
The show is mainly classics, muscle cars, hot rods, and quite a few newer cars show up also. Lots of Mustangs, and the like.
A few of the guys from the group go up there. The parking lot is always full. It's pretty sweet.:nice:
 
What does a stock Mustang front lower control arm balljoint look like? On the top of mine the rubber looks flattened and pushed over, almost like if you had a slinky in your fist with an inch of it free above your hand and you pushed that part over to the side. It looks the same on both sides so I figured it was stock. Just wondering.
 
Cool. See any nice cars?

Well there were quite a few nice cars out there. There was also a new car I have never seen before. It must of been a 03. The announcer said it was a Chevy Malibu and it ran a 13.78. I checked edmunds and it didn't look anything like the new Malibu. Maybe it was the new Impala.

I am getting 3.73's. I hope I don't regret not getting 4.10's.

Sounds like the dust boot has ruptured. Got a pic?
 
Yea I pulled in close to 8 pm and drove around the parking lot. I think I saw your car backed up in the front. I got a phone call and had to go. If you were outside I was the loud laser red gt that pulled out north on Babcock street.

Anybody going to the show in Orlando this Saturday?

We'll be out with all three cars, my sister and her boyfriend are bringing their 03 GT and 93 5.0.

Blacks Automotive is supposed to have 5 or 6 cars out there, and Lamottas will have their dyno out as well.

Basically, its gonna be a badass show.



Feel that cold coming on yet Dan? :D 7:30 on Saturday? Sucks to be you! :P
