    Thanks Its coming along found a rad mercury steering wheel for it, and some fun gauges, unchanneling it has made inside much more comfortable to drive.

    That's looking really good. Can't wait to see it finished.

    saw that at Paso. thought it was pretty shitty looking, glad to see you are fixing it up. slowly but surely shitty cars are becoming less fashionable and the posers that go with them are on to other things.

    Not that it matters because it is your car but I like the new look and direction that this coupe is taking on.
     
  27. Looks alot like JustplainJ's. The chop,the stance,and the full hood. I love it!!!!
     
  28. At first blush I would loose the bird shooters and the lakes headers.
    I would probably go for a decent set of plug wires and either run them under the headers or whatever you change the lakes headers to or a decent set of wire looms.

    Next I would loose the crappy clear fuel lines before they burn you down.

    Maybe a decent paint job if that is an issue to you. I would definately not call it the mercury kid unless its a merc I don't think that's a merc motor is it?

    I don't know what it looks like inside.

    But its a pretty need rod from what I can see of it at least its got good bones.

    Now that was the winning hit of the World Series!!

    I think I hate you now..............................;):p
    Seriously don't think there is much more that you can do to that car to make it better.

    Doc.
