    talked to lokar, about column shift linkage. going to see if i can get a rod to work.
    more research on wheels, thinking of the ion 625's what is the opinion out there,
    black or gray?

    oh ya, ordered new CNG tanks for my dodge ram. 36gge's
    thinking of converting my comet as well after getting it running.

    Removed the hood tachometer today. I like the car better w/o it. I have to kick it around if Im going to put it back, sell it or just hang on to it a while. For now, Im just going to hang on to it. Going to first KRUIZE nite tonight; been really anxious to go somewhere other than just around the house testing - first one thing and another. Hope the wx holds up - Sunny and nice right now. All I need is abt 4-5 more hrs. :D:D

    I cleaned it off with the duster. First day of no rain in a week but too busy to drive tonight. Just brought home my durango to replace my cherokee so I was busy cleaning it up. Took the wife and kids for a ride. That 3rd seat is a god send with 3 kids. Its actually about 3mpg better than my Cherokee believe it or not. (4.7 not a Hemi) Just gotta keep my foot out of it. LOL.
