Just got my tracking numbers for my new wheels. Chrome Bullitt's with 315/35 out back and 275/40 on the front. I'll post some pics when they are on.

Now I can start saving for the turbo kit for on it.

Got the new wheels today. Needs to be a little lower now and the front wheels stick out a little further then I like but oh well.

A big thanks to Latemodel Restoration Supply.

Very nice! Lowering kit is definitely in order, but looking good! Of course, I might be slightly biased.

I used to use BFG 275/60-15 drag radials and the Eibachs it had on it made them rub so I put stock springs back in the rear. I'm going to put the Eibach springs back in it this weekend to see if that makes it any better.

Either way I'm saving for a double adjustable coil-over set on the rear. I don't think the front looks to bad and maybe pulling the rear down some will even out the front.


No matter what I'm excited. It goes for inspection on Friday. It will be the first time it's legal since my daughter was born. She will be 3 on the 22 of this month and she loves the stang, calls it the race car. I think she wants to ride in it as much as I want to drive it. Hopefully that can be 1 of her many presents.

Yee Haw it passed inspection. Glad I have a guy that doesn't care about the big hood, tach on the dash or gauge pods. I hate anal Pennsylvania.

Now to figure out what is wrong with the power seat.

Might be a little biased Husky. I was looking at a vert a few years before I bought this one. Wish I would have went for it but only when it is really nice out. Whats the sticker above your GT badge?

Vert's been pretty much top-up this summer. Anchorage, Alaska is setting a record for most consecutive days of rain (27 and counting), and one of the coldest ever on record (average high temp this summer is 62 degrees). Ready for winter here.

Andy:

1) We haven't had summer yet, just 3 months (May-July) of what is essentially a Seattle winter. Gray and rainy, non-stop.

2) At least in the winter, I can go out and play (trailer full of snowmachines next to the house, waiting to go!). I've been racking my brain, and still can't come up with ANY activity that's fun to do in the rain. Never heard of anyone go "ALRIGHT! It's raining!!! Let's go ____________!"

So, yeah, I'm ready to put this summer (that wasn't) in the history books.

If you like that you should have seen my other cars in early spring. Stupid birds sit and peck at themselves in the mirrors. One bad part about living in the country.

I'm going out now to give it a good washing.
