  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

      GoodYear Eagle GT, those are $400+ tires (each) today, if you can find them!

      Yes. I foresee the challenge... I need to verify the date codes and decide when I need to replace them as they are no less than 8 years old

    Your kid gave you that car? Wow, you must be doing something right.
    1. Michael_G
      Indeed. Quite humbling. Apparently, when our son was 12 he used to watch me work on my '71 Skylark; seeing the satisfaction and listening to me talk about my dream car. He vowed one day he'd get me that dream car; and he did. I learned this when he surprised me 12 years later. My '71 is still in the family, as once I got Diane I gave her to my uncle for his final life project car (she needed a little TLC).
