ok guys thanks for all the info on this one. Although i still think that
those would look awsome, i will wait and save up for some minilites or something
that looks like those. I like the 5 spoke style also, which you see alot on
Mustangs.

I will tell ya guys a story,

Before i ever knew anything about the car in my garage that just sat there
and said DO NOT TOUCH!!! writin in the dust on the windshield, i used to tell
my dad that when i get older i wanted a Mustang usually 66 or sometimes when
i would dream i would say 67 Shelby Gt 500. I suscribed to "Muscle Mustangs
And Fast Fords" mag for a year, and i would see all these mustangs that i
wanted to make mine like. But then one day (i cant remember when tho) i asked my
dad what would it take to fix that car on the other side of the garage. i
think he tried to make it sound like it would be alot to do. But now that i
think bout it, it wasnt too much. And he was saying that he would give it to my
uncle jim to get it fixed since he was rich, then uncle jim would give it back
when it was done. But there is a catch. My mom owns half the car, and since
my parents are divorced, he wasnt going to do anything with the car until she
gave it to him. But i knew that was never going to happen. NEVER. So as i
got older i told him i wanted it. He said "well.............. i guess it can be
your car. It is going to be hard." I didnt care after i learned about the
power it could unleash.

So now i guess i will give everyone an update on the tiger.

Im really close to driving it. I have half the brakes done. And im mostly
waiting on parts from the great guys at SS. (Thanks alot) After i do the brakes
im going to change the tranny and rear end fluid. Then im DONE!!! After that
comes all the fun stuff. 4bl carb and intake. And some other awsome stuff.
Maybe you guys can give me some tips on what i should put on.

Well thanks for readin my story.
