Canton tanks look good Bill.
After seeing this thread I think I've found my next mod. I'll probably try them unpainted for first just in case Iike the and if it doesn't grow on me I'll get them painted like this guy did.

Tanks are gorgeous
I've loved the mirrors as soon as I saw them on George's PJ. I probably will upgrade to them and get them painted like the ones in the thread. But other things first first GO then SHOW

But, I'm wondering. Since the car is black, would painting the whole thing black look better than the 50/50 paint that most are doing.
And, yes, 2:20 am EST. That's what I get for waiting for the last minute to write up a report.

I definitely think you should try them in the satin finish first. I have a feeling that they won't look much different, since the car is black already. Plus, that way you don't have to worry about paint issues (ie- rock chips, bugs, etc).

Thanks guys.
I now have something to do at work today (Canton project).
Leo, I vote that you funnel this mod money to the S/C fund. Go after the big fish and leave the guppies for later.
There's nothing wrong with the S2. I can see if you got popped by the fuzz (be it radar or laser) and was the fault of the range of the S2, but you haven't.
Nothing against the hardwired or cig plug units, but the cordless unit offers the cleanest look. Just measly $.02.

As far as the S2 goes I just found myself not using it. My drive to work is 2 miles and my avg speed is 35-45. During my trips to Hawthonre and back I usually go with the flow of the far left lane so not really worried about getting pulled over. Knock on wood but I haven't gotten a speeding ticket ever.
I have a solution to your S/C fund. Start getting your gauges, pillar pod, Fluidyne () and basically everything just short of the kit (centri or TS, doesn't matter at this time). Once you collect all that stuff, you'll be at the point of no return.

Having a radar detector is just like insurance.. most likely never need it, but when you do, it's a life saver!

Or maybe everytime I feel the itch for a mod I should buy a piece of the supercharger.
FYI-I'll be in Hawthorne this weekend.

That's probably going to be my biggest problem in saving for the s/c is trying not to buy anything else.

Leo, I'd buy it but I'm looking at getting a couple things that I've been putting off before the Knott's show.
If after the Knott's show you still have it let me know I'll be interested.
Wheel shopping what a serious P.I.T.A. Anyone have any trouble with American Muscle ?? What about Discount Tire ? Leo... I know you mentioned a tire shop and I can't remember who is was.... who did you go to ? and would you go back again ? (name of the chain, not the specific place).
It was easier to find an installer than pick wheels. It doesn't help that I'm being probably a little to stingy in that department but I just can't do 1200-1600 bucks just for wheels and close to another 1000 in tires, so wheels are probably going to get the short end of the deal. ARGH. Why couldn't Ford put a 9 inch wheel on our car ?

My commute is about 2-2.5 miles and I still got popped by a radar cop. Granted I was 18 over the speed limit, but still. I would have love to have had a detector.

I got my tires from Discount Tire. They were great. They were willing to price match without any hassle. I just told them a price and the guy didn't even think twice. I thought you were sticking with the bullits?

I'd dearly love to, but I will need a bigger tire and the 8.5" just won't cut it for a larger tire.unfortunately. I was thinking of going 275/40 all around but I think it's too big for the rim. So right now I'm thinking 255/45 & 285/40. Both are the same diameter.
Brian's working behind the scenes for some new wheels & tires.. I'm guessing the debut will be at the Knotts show?
Since you brought it up, show us what you're thinking about.
