Cool man... cant wait to see the new stance!!!! Burkharts boys know there game. When you say shock/ spring mounts...... are you going coilovers??? Your wale tail would be a great start to do so, something to think about. I would be excited too, if it brings the car closer to paint!! But 12 hours..... damn man that is a water bag trip, anyway it will be well worth the effort!! Catch ya.

Cool Robb they are good mounts. Im sure they have a great rear housing but I would consider a call to Burkhart its very nice and a good bit cheaper. I talked to Chuck last week and he said they were working on my junker!! I had a long list of stuff for them to do so it might take a while. You car is looking good!!!! Later

Hey Dennis, glad to hear there workin on your car!!! I cant wait to see the new look!!! Im guessing that you wont have any pics to update untill it is finished??? A long list sounds good.... as it will mean less to do when you get it back. I am still tossing up a rear end I havent commited to anyone yet.... I will keep burkharts piece in mind. I hope to getsome stuff done this weekend, maybe dummy the front end...... anyway catch ya.

Btw, a buddy of mine just bought a house in ..... i sorry I will have to check on the map, the town starts with S and is near south Dakota, and is where they have the big chopper fest!! I cant wait for him to get it up and going!!!

Hey man..... yes Sturgis. Right where the action is. He will be renting it out at festival time in a year of so, he should get about $5,000.00 for the week!!!! Not a bad return for 70k. He said there is some good riding there!!!

A week or two man that isnt long at all..... I bet your so busy at the moment doing other things that you dont have a chance to do when you have the car.. that it makes you think how do I have time for the car!!!!

I got some things done on my junk....... I was looking at your build again when I dummied the front end, our parts are similar but not the same. Your kmember, A arms in particular are slightly different. But horses for courses really!!

Yeah... where is Timmy P??? He must be working on the car!!!!
Catch ya.
