very nice, lots of potential. she should really run.

Posted by z pyro (Member # 3745) on :

Posted by Fox Lightning (Member # 7658) on :
 
yo albert i need that hp turbo kit man. he give me 10% off, i order the kit w/Manual Steering w/SN95 Spindle complete Kit less brakes ship to my door $2200.
 

---

Posted by 1SLOWLX (Member # 558) on :
 
That kit is waiting for you in my garage lol Not too bad 2200 let me know how it looks and fits I am interested in a kit but my plans might have changed for mine looking at a 15k motor to get going how fast i want to go. So Im kinda stuck 15k for a motor then the the front suspension so 17k or just buy a complete car and let mine be as fast as it is now who knows

I was thinking about it until I bought another 67. I guess I'll have to live with the annoying squeak for a while. Funny part is both the damn 67's have that same annoying sound from the front end oh well.
