    Progress ... and my mom may be slightly pissed that her plants got ran over. She's more happy the car finally moved after a decade than she is mad though so I call that a win. My brother and our friend were able to get my 67 Imperial moved forward and the 65 pulled up onto the concrete so they...

    They are a hoot. I truly do miss driving it. Learned more behind the wheel of it than any other car. Detroit locker and 3.89 gears so I could accelerate through turns. Manual steering, manual brakes, manual trans. Surprised I survived high-school driving it lol

    Don, local Virginia Beacher here. What do those FR500/GT500 look like, and being the uninitiated, do you happen to know what of these would fit on an 08GT500 W/ the stock brembos?

    This was done way back in high school. Me and my dad used a paper template to make a stiff one out of plexiglass and used that to redrilled the upper A-arm holes in the shock tower.
