A hubcap popped off one night. Still have 3 and a spare, but the spare needs to be repaired, so they're off for now.

Me too, man! It's like it's driveable again.

lol. I had it up for sale for a while with no bites. It's a sign.

It seems to have been done right for the most part. I've never had a problem with it acting funny.

Thanks, man, but there's definitely a lot cooler out there!

You put the motor in? If so, i might really want to do an article on the car.

Either way, its a nice ride man. Props.

Didn't do the actual swap. I put a whole new top end on the motor, cut the springs, new tires, fabricated a new trans tunnel in the rear, and a few things here and there.

Thanks, man!

Catnip,

I know it's cool to be "rusty" but you might want to consider doing a resto on that MB. An original 4.5 fully restored brings HUGE $ to the table, especially if the interior is in pristine condition.

But holy sh@t it sounds good:goodjob: I'm sure you get some looks when you crank it up..:police:

[MachNU]

I have hated every other car you have owned....but that shit is BAD ASS!

I'd love for this car to be in better shape. I grew up around old cars getting restored, nothing cool about rust/worn out old cars. This car is tainted though... not sure there's ever turning back.

This is the cam I mentioned you should get in your V thread. They make great power too!

It's hard to like a bunch of worn out, mediocre at best cars, so can't say I blame ya. haha.
Thanks, man.
