i have been seeing post all over the place about people getting jacked... people i recomend that you put a fuel shut off switch hiden in your car place it in a place only you would know! i got one in my car and it saved me. they broke the window and tried to jack my car but where not able to turn it on..... this happened a while ago... if it wasnt for the switch my 5.0 would be gone... so invest in one of these. and a good alarm! that is all... take care them STANGS [patriot] [patriot]

Nothing beats a garage and locking it indoors.

I know people who have had their house ransacked and the thieves left with their 4runner in their garage full of their shit!

A garage is the safest thing. If the thieves have a tow truck it doesn't matter what security measures are on the car, except maybe lojack.

I'll bust out some more pics soon. 72 and 73 both cleveland 2bbls, soon to be upgraded. One's a C4 and the other is an FMX, both are weak because they're poorly optioned, 2.75 open. Here's one you'll like:

I fixed the links, I forgot I changed the name of my folders since the URL was too long for my car pic. Anyway, my name is Patrick. I was wondering what the backspacing was on those magnum 500s since you had 15x8/10s, most people tell me you can't fit wider than 7/8.5 and I knew they were wrong. Did you have to modify (roll) the fenders for clearance?

nope not at all, they had 4.5" b/s all around, i have a pic of another torino with 29X12.50LT15 mickey t and its slammed as well! I had to roll the lips on that one though. I used springs from a 3/4 ton checy truck in the front and the left over front ones in the rear, i almost cut them in half but it sat mean looking! i gotta see if i can scan the pic or something. the tires size you see in the pic with the magnums in 275/60R15 and 255/60R15 in the front.

I bought the 1972 set from dearborn classics, and it is a friggin bible. But I can't find the locations for pass side mirror holes, so I guess I'll measure/copy from the DS. And I'll def check out that forum.

We totally jacked this thread, awesome.
