some other critics answer lies in such nonsense over the tight hill and to see men argue random thoughts....

Anyone pick up any goodies over the holidays for a mod day? I still have those speakers to put in and thinking I'll have to pick up some brake parts sometime soon.

Yeah, I got my auto trans cooler ready to bolt up, hoses, and a quart of the T-IV fluid.

9krpm, you have a small pump for a quart bottle to fill up the trans.

I've looked everywhere, and I either find them for gallons or small neck gear oil quarts.

Maybe, I'll buy a funnel with hose attached, and then, add some more hose length to that.

Can anyone recommend a good exhaust shop? Thinking of having the first muffler removed.

I still have the bass tube and some 6 x 9's to put in and I need to modify the bottle opener on the nitrous bottle to work properly.

I have a little hand pump that I got at autozone, works like a charm for filling trannies and diff's.

Honor to My Dad

Some of you might have known that my dad had COPD and had been on home hospice care for a few years. A week ago he went into an unresponsive state and was placed in the hospice inpatient facility. This morning he passed away quitely. I give credit to my dad for my love of cars. Back in the day when I was a teenager my dad owned a Gulf Service Station. This was in the day when an attendent (me) pumped your gas checked the oil and tires and cleaned the windshield. At my dad's shop is where he taught me to work on cars and how to maintain them. I have always done the majority of the reapirs to all the vehicles I have owned if I could do it myself. He is now at rest. I will miss him but will always carry fond memories working at that old filling station.....

RIP Dad....

I don't have an 8 anymore, so it's a slightly different set up, but same concept. That's basically what I'm trying to do.
