Photobucket fix worked great. I give it an official rating of "****-deluxe".

Thanks dude!

Wow! Cool!

Thanks for the heads up!

FTR, I installed 'photobucket embed fix' in Firefox.

Look at all the good looking car pics!

I'm too old for that question, you'll have to ask a 15 year old kid.

Install another add-on - Ad Blocker Plus. That will knock out just about everything.

Building my own 4 inch ram air system, filter has a 5 inch body, car is coming along slowly. I made many mistakes. After flex tube is fitted, i plan to wrap the tubes in aluminum tape so that it keeps the shape and be more heat resistant.

do you still have this? is it finished?
just wondering if the c3 spindle was a direct bolt on or if you had to make modifications to make it work.
i am currently swapping engine and trans in my 66 catalina. 6.0, cam, turbo, 4l80e, transgo hd2 kit, 3400 stall converter.
definitely will have enough power but now i gotta wonder about stopping it.

Sorry for the delay, Yes they bolted right on. They are also thicker and stronger than the OEM. Car is still at the body shop. Covid (Corona) sucks.

Car is a deep metallic green blueish color, Pictures don't do it justice. They have to wet sand and buff it than install bumpers. I have to complete the rest. After all done, I have to plug in the laptop and program / tune the car with HpTuner.

Still at the body shop, They hired a buffing company to wet sand and buff, they messed up so they had to pay to repaint it.

Wow, that paint looks great! Bummer about the repaint, but glad that they didn't try to put that on you.
