Merlin522: I just had a brain squall. Instead of putting a 6" hood on that thing, just use 6" body mount bushings!!!! That'll raise the whole body up 6" and you can use a stock hood for that stealthy look!!! :lol: :lol: That'll also move the power brake booster up so you don't have to notch that valve cover. See, all your problems are solved. Just bring 'em on!!!! I got answers for everything!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I just noticed their free mousepad offer with online purchase.

I was hesitating before, but I'm think I'm ready to drop the hammer on a deal!!!!

Got on my nerves? more like got on them with a hacksaw, then a sledgehammer, then ran over them with a corvette at 35 mph (crusing speed of course), put it in reverse, and rolled back over them. Then he got out, pissed on them, poopie on them, and wiped his butt with them...and thats being nice about it... :mad :mad :mad :mad
