I read a thread on here about a guy gutting his fbody and there was like 30lbs of weight in insilation on the fire wall. That's the great thing about fbodies is that you can strip them bear bolts pretty quick. Hell the goat is going on a diet once I move into my new place I need more space to put all this crap.

Ive been lurking this thread for quite some time, I should probably check in already! I drive a black SS on kelly hill :sadface: My car needs some TLC in 3 different areas. The paint looks like it was burned through by the previous owner on the top of the driver side door and rear driver side fender. only on the very top though, rest looks fine. Where is a good place to get some parts painted around here?

That Racecraft Saleen guy was acting like a Dbag one day at sonic. It makes me happy that you did him in. I got a MMOB highway run against a GT500 last night needless to say his driver mod was much worse than mine as I got 2 cars on him.

One of the things I do not miss about columbus is the lack of a harbor freight. Cheap tools ftw

Yes its can turn in to quite the gayfest. I think ive seen your goat. how do you manage to find a parking spot everyday! I have to park back on the tank trails sometimes. I kind of like it back there a bit better, makes for a quick getaway

mike, Shortly after I posted that I was the SS you were talking about, I walked out to the parking lot and saw the one you must have been speaking of. It had the actual 10 spoke wheels. Mines different.

PS an MP gave me a warning this morning, damn liscence plate light is out!
