    Should try the V8 on your rust bucket donor.
    Congrats on getting a new motor and disc brakes for your ride though! :dance:

    Pretty country you have there! I grew up on a farm too! You lucked out on that car! Here, finding a 5 lug disk brake car is tough. I'm glad for you!!! (y)

    I agree on the home front. Awesome! :thumbs2:
    I grew up in the country...but the country is now City.
    Gotta love progress :cry:
    They have paved over my childhood and cut down all the trees, build crap everywhere. Hell the dirt road that was just out front of my house is now the main through way, and its 4 lanes paved with stop lights. Cars nonstop all day all night. Use to see max of 8 in a day if lucky.
    Now 20 every 3 mins at the slowest.
    I moved to a city withought even moving. *SIGH*
    Gonna go google pic searching for some nature now..:mad:
