I got a couple shots of the Dodge in the gallery with my old '98. I have some new ones on my phone. I'll try and get them on, but everytime I'd go to upload them my browser would magically close so I gave up.....who knows....

Yea.......I thought about it too. It's like it knew I was going upload Dodge pics on a Ford site.....I do still have my Ford though!!! Kind of funny watching my brother move it in the shop the other day.......the choke isn't quite set right and you have to have "the touch" to keep it running......needless to say I had to do it.....

Yea....I need to get new mirrors. I only have one after the whole "dad backing into the door with his old 97" incident. That's mostly what's stopping me. It's such a pain to drive with one mirror. Also, once the weather straightens up I might bring it down to Hastings to drive it occasionally.
On a side note.....the Hemi doesn't pull too bad. My buddy had a broken leaf spring on his '89 Chevy 4x4 so I came down to Hastings with the trailer and took it up to my shop and we changed his springs.....I knew it was back there.....but it wasn't bad. I averaged 9.7 mpg for the trip.....

Haha.....I found the ones I *think* I want in LMC......problem is I have about $200 worth of stuff I need to order from there and I don't really have $200 laying around that I want to spend on that right now.......unless you can persuade me otherwise....

There you go....now you're thinking like a poor man. My order totals up closer to $270....oh well. I'm looking right now to see what else I want. I had an Accel points eliminator kit in that thing and it magically decided to quit working......so I'm back to points......oh well. You should just get me all the stuff to convert to Duraspark or buy me an MSD setup.....

Haha....OK sounds good. What are you gonna do with your '67?

Actually.....Duraspark doesn't sound like too bad of an idea....I need to see if the old '74 Highboy at my grandpa's has it or points......then I could get it over to my place and steal all sorts of parts off it....seat, etc....
