Default What do you need or want?

Hello Everyone,

I currently am in the process of revamping my company and services because of our wonderful economy.

I am in the process of becoming a Supporting Vendor and will let everyone know my new screen name at that time.

But I enlist your help...

I have the experience and skill set to work on these things profficiently from 68-96 and before and after in many areas...

what are some of the things, products, or services, that any of you would like to see provided, manufactrured, improved on...better pricing, etc...(do not name other vendor pricing or the vendor specifically on the forum, if you feel the real need to express you opinion, PM me).

Anything helps....keep this alive and give your 2cents please...no idea is to wild, to big or to small, I am very very capable and am willing to try new things and improve things...

Thank you all in advance!!!!

I think a lot of people on here want bigger rally wheels. Also sidepipe muffler inserts are a little over priced and seem like they could be easily made.

How about an enclosed chrome aircleaner system that fits a performer RPM manifold, and a 3" filter that has two fresh air ducts (none of that flexable dryer vent crap) that are routed from the front of the rad area, and also fits under the stock hood......

As long as were on the kit idea, how about a complete kit for auto to manual conversion. Offer a 4,5, or 6 speed set up. You'd have the first sale right here.

Rear differential rebuild kit. Maybe a gear swap kit, and another kit for rebuilding.
