you could use some sub frame connectors. i have the leaky diff issue too. this picture reminds me i have to jack my jalopie up and sand & paint underside(mainly axle tubing). before i forget the exhaust looks real good.

Thanks man...yea I def need some subframes...I'm going to be doing a suspension overhaul soon (new shocks/struts, coilovers, better control arms to replace my GMS U/L CAs, new bushings, etc) and subframes are on the list.

Thanks man...the exhaust looks and sounds good, I think I'm getting an HD camera for xmas, so I'll get some videos up ASAP

eventually once i have the funds, ill be in the market for another cat back. im looking for a straight through design but not loud. lack of drone at highway speeds. not many that do that, especially decent priced. i have a panhard bar thats an obstacle in itself. so far, the newer design flows work but im not sure what else will work.

how much did it sell for? Just curious.

Please dont respond to this post till the car is sold because i dont want to jinx the sale.

Dalamar · Jun 6, 2011

green cars suck!

JB, i love your wheel setup on your car.
when you were painting the centers red, I was thinking, hmmmm, that's odd.
but they look great on there!

again, nice work. it's exceptional to stand out with an SN95 with all the sweet rides and mods going on around here.

Thanks Dal! Having the new stang has definitely made it easier to let the old vert go...but I'm glad my buddy will be taking it and hopefully restoring it to its former glory.
