yes it will have stripes, I`m not sure what kind yet though...  On page 4 of this thread you can see a picture of the custom strobes aaron did for me, but now that I have it here in real life with paint, I`m leaning towards a 440 hockeystripe.  If anyone has a sensible comment to that subject.....  :clueless:

It`s about time winter ends...  :faint:

The car looks absolutely great!  Did I miss the part about you getting rid of your fender turn signals?

Bart,

I see your wooden shoes in one of your pics. You really wear those over there huh?  I guess a new pair is only a tree and a pocket knife away.

Great job on the shine of that car. How about some black billboards?

Mike.

still have to run the pattern but the teeth look flawless  :thumbsup:   talked to a guy in my neighbourhood today who really knows his way around gearwheels and dana`s.  He got the feeling the problems were in either my tranny or driveshaft...   could very well be since the trans mount was completely shot and the transoil was pretty bad metallic.  I also found marks caused by a driveshaft flying around on the bottom of the car,  but I dont think it was with this driveshaft...  so a few more things to check before I`ll tear down the dana.

I learned to walk wearing wooden shoes  :grinyes:  but started wearing them full time when I started shoeing horses... they give great protection from flat toes and are nice and warm in winter.
In real life there is practically nobody walking on wood here anymore and when I walk through town on them , most people watch me like they see burning water   :smilielol:   not that I give a damn....  :grinno:
my son (9) is the only one at school who learned how to walk on them... and he goes like the wind  :woo:

I agree the color would really pop with billboards, but I cannot get used to the idea of a 70 with them  :clueless:

finally picked up work on the cuda again after this waaay too long winter.  :eek4:   Tonight I conviscated the kitchentable to start cleaning the taillights.  looks like a nice start to me  :woo:   still need to get some fresh paint on the housing, the chrome has some minor pitting, but the glass is in great condition.
I bought a foam gasketset for the taillights a few years ago, but it`s nowhere to be found now that I need it...  :banghead:
