yea, I liked the way other people's SSs looked when we would go out or when I saw them on the forum..but then once I got my own, it just isn't the same. I have been debating over the past few months, and I was going to buy my old car back, but the rear went out a few weeks ago on the kid and I found this hawk instead..either way, im getting another Formula or a TA before xmas!

40 hours a week overtime. they told me im gettin 7300 while im in country and 7000 while im on R and R for one month. Im hoping come back with at least 40K but the parts list the L may not make that possible . Who makes powerguilds for Mod motor cars 4R100 trans are horribly inefficient.

My bro was a DS in the Navy until they merged with FC's and got out and got a Job over there....
1st yr was $127,000
Came back and 2nd and 3rd yr was $286,00 a yr......
$20K a month is awsome....
How are they working your HR break down Frank??
They worked his horly wage down from $65 an hr to $32.50 and paid the difference back COLA and Haz duty pay.. and those two arent taxed so it seems like u make less and have more $$ tax free.

Johnny Lightning runs 8.00 destroying trans and TC. His truck is 7s capable with a trans that doesn't self-destruct

So we have been a little busy...
New wheels-Enkie
old turbo
Had to take a sawzall to the exhaust here to get it out
We also found that the tranny mount was not bolted in, but only held in by the x member...haha he was pissed.

Nope Ive thought about. My new set-up will be somewhere between an all-out race truck and a very well modded street truck. Like I said before I go high 9s boost only ill be happy being that I'll have over 1500 lb weight difference between an f-body/mustang/vette.
