    I was out in the garage tonight thinking that I was getting bored of my Cragar SS's, I put hubcaps and trim rings on one side to see what it looked like, I'll push it outside tomorrow and have a good look.

    Keep the Craigers in storage. I like the wheels you have on the car now. I like those side pipes too. The whole car looks great Dan.

    Very cool pic, Dan. Your Stallion looked awesome back then. Heck, it still looks awesome! :thumbs2: I love seeing those pictures of cars from back in the 70's. Brings back a lot of good old memories. Somewhere I have a picture of my 66' Mustang coupe from around 1977 with those prism tape rally stripes on the hood and trunk. That stuff sure was popular back then.

    Hey, Dan...

    .....I bet some of the members here have never seen pics of you at your wedding with this car.

    Come on, dig up some more old shots!
    How about the one showing 'you've just been Fordalized' ?

    Seth, thanks for finding that other picture. That one you posted was taken 2 years later in the same spot. Paintank, I cant get to the sidepipes, they are stowed away deep in my storage part of my garage, dont remember the size, only thing I remember is they were Doug Thorley brand. I will try and dig up some other pics from that era today. I am glad you all liked the old pic, I kinda think it is neat too.
