its only funny because a good friend of mine is a metro fanatic.

get it running and warmed up in nuetral. start it in gear pointed in a safe direction. get some speed up, push in the clutch and jam on the brakes. Should pop loose. you may at this time also discover that your brakes are way out of adjustment, curbs are not your friends.

you can go piss up a rope. You know the difference between someone with tattoos as opposed one without? I dont give a rats *** that you dont have ink.

most of the time cars will run with a vaccuum hose for a coil wire. give it a try for yourself. chain or cable it to a pole, or sleep in it. the cell phone tracker would also be a good idea. clubs, boots, ignition interupters and anything else that keeps it from running and driving are not...

those are general posting rules, that are on every page. Generally you do not post a reply toa classified add, pm the original poster and go from there. The idea is not to jumble the add with a bunch of unneeded info, keeps it plain and simple so that the next guy that reads or is interested...

floors and sill first, fit the doors, brace and then chop.

I got one like it for the ESD's coupe, single four barrel. it looks great but theres nothing to stop it from rotating. put it on square and drove around the block, it was sideways. I added a couple tabs to lock against the carb and its all good. I like it a lot bettter on yours though, its...

if its not a big deal level the carb, it dont really hurt anything, but it looks kinda stooopid. you will have to check float levels if you leave it leaned back. you could also get a machinist to make angled spacer/adapters to level things back out.

I run it thru my stretcher!

I think we all have a tehchnique that works good for us, and they dont have to be the same technique. I skip around tack here there and yonder, dress and dolly the tacks, then start welding here there and yonder till it starts looking horrible, then stretch everything out some and weld some...

lol,,, 57 ford has mostly plastic, but the horn wire down the tube is cloth.

I'm thinking you had other issues besides tires. Changing tire (staying same size) does nothing to the geometry of the suspension. Radials wont increase the wear on your kingpins and such either, in fact with the more flexible sidewall they probably take some of the side load off the suspension.

Might look at the sears diehard platinum series batteries instead of the optima. we have had issues with optima, and I have heard good things about the diehard. jeepers that use the winch alot say they have no problems with the sears.

Right, and you tend to lord it over us every time we deal with you. no water garbage piling up and no sewer, hmmm how are these services any more or less needed than say the mechanic that holds your life in his hands with every brake job? Or the waitress that works her *** off to make sure you...

LOL, please help me commit title fraud, a felony,, live on the interweb.
