    Had my 18 Yr old God Sons over today. They cut up my 71 Donor 4 dr and stuffed it into the Bed of My Silerado. AND IT FIT. Gonna take it to the recycle place tommoro morning. I hope it comes back as an M1 Abrams in its next life.:162:

    Then we sat in the back yard and discussed "The Birds and The Bees" and STDs.

    Oil Filter Clearance

    Do You know any one that deals in Amsoil products? Check the dimensions of the Amsoil EAO11 engine oil filter, same diameter as a Fram PH8a but half as long, may fit and it's good for 12 months/25 kmi! PS: I am an Amsoil dealer and can help you if needed. kafrompa (kagraveliii@yahoo.com) or (512)589-2600

    The stock filter diameter was too big, but the motorcraft fl400s is about 1/2 in smaller in diameter, it fit perfectly

    Same here low spots all over the passenger fender. One is 24" long :cry:
    Little dings all over the front, but it gets better with each session.

    Youmight be a little jealous now... I'm getting ready to mix a batch of primer :D it won't be show car perfect.. But it's pretty close and if it's not I plan on a full repaint this winter anyways. But my trans should be done this week and I can pick it up, break in my engine and get driving!

    For my 73 Grabber project, today I ordered a front suspension kit from Laurel Mountain Mustang and rear springs from General Spring in Olathe KS. For the 72 Comet I ordered a set of Cragar 61G series wheels. Cha-Ching!! Head spinning...I need a drink!

    I thought something came out the other day about them finding another myan calander that went on for a while.

    I was looking for a title for something else and noticed my 72 mav title wasn't where it was supposed to be. I have tore everything apart looking for it with no luck. I have many parts awaiting install but not if I can't find a title. It was not in my name yet and I bought from a guy who got it from a guy so I'll see how much of a pain it is to track them down.
