Well, I ordered some parts for the car. While I was looking, decided on getting a Haynes manual. Now I already have a Chilton, but figured there might just be something else in the Haynes that Chilton missed or something. So there I am opening the box that the parts came in, and looked at the cover of the Haynes, and there is a picture of a car that looks just like mine on the cover. I should have known...

Sorry, just had to let this out.

Rob

If you got both the Haynes manuals (it should be 2 volumes, about 100 bux) It is way better than a chiltons, as far as breaking it down to the bottom line. Not as easy to read, but better by far.

In order to hit 18s, all you need to do is chain a rustang to your rear axle. That should slow you down enough to achieve 18s with your stock F-body. Note: this tip is helpful when bracket racing, however a towbar would be safer. :wink:

Thanks Chris. That was funny. But it hasn't been years yet. If it is still down in Nov, it will be 2 years. Just give it time.
