Looks great Steve, I'm glad to see you took the time when you reinstalled the emergency brake cable bracket ( you didn't cut it off like many do ). One thing I see that might be nice is to cover ( like you did with the Clampco clamps ) the threads on the sway bar u-bolts. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I'll trade you my 94 octane Sunoco gas and all the snow in Michigan for your 91 octane and your 80 degree winter days! Your SS would see the road about 5 months out of the year.

Steve, you did it right but that's what expect from you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Dan, don't give up on Michigan yet, what Steve forgot to mention is that Cali is also a police state. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />

True, no emission testing here anymore either. Good for headers and !cats, bad for the environment. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Hey Steve

You should talk to some of the sponsors. You shouldn't be paying for your parts. You car is advertisment enough in my opinion.
