    I was going to email you about this, but I thought others might be interested as well.

    Did you paint your rear leaf springs? If you did...what color?

    Thanks

    Looks like black

    It's hard to tell from all that bright reflection coming off that fresh white paint!

    Rustoleum gloss black if memory serves me. I wish this snow would melt and things dry up. I'm dying to drive it some more.

    Nice pic of the underside of his car,, impressive. I am going to remove my gas tank and go with a fuel cell. I am bound and determined to run 3" exhaust to the back of my car and thru the rear valance, not under it. Kinda like an early stang. Also nice to see that 9" rearend sitting in there as that is the stage of work i am involved in with my car.

    Hey Dan you dont have to go with a fuel cell unless you want to. The early mustang tank gives you plenty of room to run 4" exhaust.
