Thanks Mark! She's pretty much where I want her. 4.56 gears and 35" summer tires and it'll be perfect for me.

No idea, I'd put my money on Chinese though. It's been rode hard and put away wet its whole life, but he has a lot of fun on it and it's a good starter to get him acquainted with them.

Today I replaced the rotors and pads with slotted and drilled ones and I discovered my COP on #6 is "held "on with a zip tie. Yep I got the p0356 code and freaked. Looked into it and no bolt holding #6 down, just a zip tie, kinda floating free. I'm guessing it vibrated the wrong way just enough. Gotta love previous owners and their "ingenuity". Once its light out I'll see if the bolts stripped or broken and go from there

Mine sits about 3/4" lower, just enough to throw off all the different hitches I have for the different trailers


also the hoops for the safety chains are much larger, so had to redo a couple of the setups there as well.

I agree on the Larger chain hoops. I had to move to 1-1/4 hooks to get mine on and locked

But if it's a rusted out pile that has every panel replaced with new steel to rebuild it, that's OK? Like many of the restoration shows you see on TV. The last wreck this car has was over 30 years ago. I don't see how a refresh of makes not "non-authentic"

Wow, down here you'd have lost your license by now - I envy you.

$172.50 and demerit points every time they catch you, same goes for inspection. Yearly registrations and inspections are just another way for them to tax us I guess.

Went hiking up in northern NJ. Had to do some light "wheeling" to find a parking space. Excuse the dirty Ex.
