Missing since I bought the car. I need to find one. The 'new' price of one scares me.


So I snuck the truck out this morning to get pics of it. Any time it's light, Julie has is

Looks Great!

What did Julie say when she went out and saw the new wheels?

American Muscle took good care of me today.

They made sure I got the same price that was advertised for the 4th of July sale.
I was having ordering problems and it was a 1 day sale, they marked the price down AND still gave me my Forum discount.

NICE DEAL!

Julie loves it. I'm half considering dropping it, putting the SC on again and doing the Roush windshield fender and tailgate emblems. Roush forum guys seem to think it would be a funny "one of" set up. LOL

I like them.

Why not run to Napa or somewhere and just grab an idler, long bolt and some washers to space it right?

Tis what Im doing. Ill just have to get the bolt/spacer when I pull it apart so i dont get the wrong size. what grade bolt should I use? 10?



A st of 18" chrome Speedlines locally. look like 18x8.5's all around. Not sure which offset, or if they are the USA or Chinese made(have 'SALEEN' on them, so they arent the italian). currently have a set of 275/35 and 285/30 tires on them. asking price is 350, soooo yeah. buy, sell my 10ths, and get some proper tires for the rear.

I believe I used a grade 8 bolt. Looked exactly like the bolt I took out, only longer.

Also got the 390 out of a 61 Merc Meteor 2dr vert at work. It is one ballin car.

Might go work on a friends 55 Bel Air tonight. Hes doing an HCI swap on the 350 he has in there. Patriot heads and I dunno what cam or intake hes putting on. It will be one hell of a time getting it ready for Saturday.
