btw if anyone knows of a reputable company to cut custom axles for me, please let me know. and i don't know the proper technical term for them either...are they axles, cv joints or what? It's still basically a FWD setup so i'm not sure what i should call the damn things

I haven't been yet, but my buddy with the bird has. IIRC he said it was about $800 for the fronts, but I may be remembering the rears. Sure beats the $5k required for the Wilwoods, but of course 15" rotors at all four corners is pretty cool.

that would be pretty cool, but another thing is that I refuse to put wheels larger than 15"s on it.

I can't say I understand why you would put more modern looking wheels on it in a profile that isn't modern. I will agree that anything larger than an 18" on your car would just look dumb, but once going to a modern cut wheel upsizing looks better IMO. Of course, I would like the stock steelies you have in an 18 too colored like the body of course they would have to be widened as well.

Curious to see how bad they butcher the lines on the proto when it goes into production

The wheels I want aren't modern looking.

A grill like this:

On one of these:

would be cool in my book, obviously the Torino needs a readjustment on its stance though.

There was a better looking 928 next to it with a big block tucked underneath the hood, but imageshack is being a bitch.

Here is another German poser, all show and no go:

Tomorrow I go completely apeshit on my internet/telephone service provider.

I cancelled both accounts three months ago and I'm stil getting billed. I called and confirmed that the accounts were cancelled on five different occasions.

Maybe I'll get a customer service rep who speaks English.

The velleman hand held o-scope from parts express is cool. :)

Got that, the multimeter that came with it, couple sovetek 12ax7 tubes, line wrap for cables, 4 sets of Esoteric audio/video cables, jacket strippers, two different sets of wire strippers, and a pair of small side cutters. Its like christmas :)

Who's your service provider ? I can't believe you don't have Shaw out there yet; Shaw's awesome and their call center is in Nanaimo, so it's all people who actually speak english ...

Sean, that is a 70. It just has a 69 front end. Notice there are no quarter scoops. All 69s had quarter scoops.

I have to scan the pic of my old man's 69 Mach. 428 CJ FTW! Shaker to boot.
