    My grass color ranges from tan to brown, lays flat to the ground and has small areas of white in it - seems so wrong :huh:

    Installed the new brake pedal pad and chrome trim that I got from Melvin's on my '72 Grabber.

    I also installed the new NOS hood emblem that I found on Ebay on my uncle's '71 Comet GT.

    Today I started... the very first steps of tuning! Which is to say, i cut a piece of steel plate to be about an inch by 2 inches, drilled almost all the way through, tapped it, and put my power valve jets in it. Then I ordered a holley 39 to 99 main jet kit :)

    NOt exciting I know but I can see the engine idleing now :D and once it idles.... vroom

    Mav. I know? I guess i should say that what i meant by that was that i can picture the car running, thus idling.
