Well the mudflaps are staying on for daily driving.. The amount of junk they keep off the paint is worth having them. Though I WILL take them off for the next set of pics I take, cause they do look terrible lol

Whew... alright, last time I'm gonna post another pic in this thread, I promise haha...

This picture has a great background, cars look good, but that damn sign was annoying me.


Soo... I decided I didn't want the sign there anymore, and I got rid of it

I had a V6 camaro. It was purple with chrome wheels and I thought it was the ****. 1992, with the massive 3.1 which ran a lightning fast time of 17.9 in the quarter mile. After that I had some sense knocked into me and bought my trans am. Now I do like the 3.8 camaros/firebirds, they can be fast. But those mustangs are pretty terrible.

I feel ya, I am limiting myself as well with this Engine swap..I am trying to not buy too much at once..

I came from a Ford Explorer into my vert and I was thrilled with the V6 for a long time until I drove my friends SS. Now I want a V8! I am in college right now though so V8 will have to wait till I get some credit hours under my belt.

I was going to do the wetsand and polish to my headlights, but I started reading things that the headlights have a protective film on them so uv rays dont make them yellow too fast, and that when you sand and polish them, it takes that protection off and they can yellow even faster. Thats the only reason I haven't done that yet, cause i know they look bad.
