I was disappointed in that I was not able to find any parts in the vendor area but if I wanted easy, I would have a 66 Mustang! :mrgreen: Hope to see you again next year.

At least a Tempix... maybe a Tempa? Depends on what language string is attached.

FWIW, I think those are 4x100 bolt pattern on that car. They look great on the car in person.

Hmmm...wonder why you like that pic so much... :-)

But it doesn't include your son in the oink oink hat. You know he's going to get even with you for that hat. I'm betting he'll wreak revenge on you once he goes to school and sees the headwear other parents put on their kid's domes.

You've got about 3 years before the shite hits the home fan. :-)
