    Nice pump, it needs a big "FINA" sticker on it.

    hopefully thats a magical pump that would give you gas prices from that era. sure would be nice to have cheap gas again. atleast around $2 a gallon it never dropped under $3 a gallon here this year

    gasoline prices has risen here this week! U.S. $ 1.50 a liter! soon the crazy V8, like me, will become the new "Mad Max", if you know what I mean ...if not,watch MadMax movies (80s) :D

    Thanks! I will contact 71gold.

    I am using 285/40 17 (9 inches wheel)
    and in orange mav,I will use 295/35-18 (9,5 inches wheel) I test in my black mav and is tight but fits!
    but dont forget ..I won almost 1 inch room swaping the suspension lower link x leaf spring..and my fender(wheel housing?sorry I dont know;)) is wider than stock


    now,the News!
    testing and tuning the bars, in Douglas car, (PerformanceV8)

    What kind of orange paint are you using - looks a bit like Camaro Hugger Orange :)

    I still have not decided what I will use orange tone .. just know it will be orange.

    I'm removing all the paint .. the previous owner, guy who started building the car, did not do a good job in the body shop,have used a lot bondo,etc.. so I'm redoing. and as the car was already orange'll keep.:thumbs2:
