    Cool- It's that kinda stuff that use to get me thinkin' V8! I'm happy to say I'm over that now. But I still like the zoom-zoom!

    WOW! I'm ordering a set of full moon discs right now! :cool: Where are my Stroker McGurk decals? Oh yeah, right next to my "Moon-Eyes" decals and STP decals. Thanks for the blast!

    I liked the video but didn't agree with everything that it said. I don't believe that a hot rod has to be a beat up peice of crap that is just fast to be considered a hot rod. Maybe I just took it wrong in what he is saying but my truck will have a $6k paint job, but will also be 408Hp and 409 ft lbs of torque and I will be able to still stomp that ass on the drag strip:cool: . I'm still going to consider mine a hot rod. I think a hot rod is how the owner and builder looks at it.

    Kevin, Stroker McGurk would agree with you 100%

    Hot Rodding is a state of mind! You got to feel it, become "one" with it.

    You gotta show us the stang. What year and what have you done to it. I know that Chiro just acquired a few himself. I've got a 66 coupe myself (for sale too if you know anyone interested).

    at first I wanted a stang to drive every day so I bought a 67 without a motor. I built a 302 for it that was pretty hott but well lets just say somthing went wrong like a a nut getting droped down the carb somehow and it turned a piston sideways. So i got a 289 polished the bottom end had it balanced, put gt40 heads on it, ford 4 barrel intake with 650 holley, msd ignition with a wonderful delay box, fiberglass hood with thurderbolt scoop. lets just say now I cant really drive it everyday its more of a take to the drag strip car. If my mom would ever get her camera to work I would take some pics and post them.
