That makes me feel better. I still have a couple more easy mods to do and hopefully then I will be close to 60 at 60. It may be unrealistic but thats half the fun of modifying a car. To see what it can do.
If the car was a little newer, I would do a rebuild and deck the heads for more compression and try to improve the efficiency a little on the engine. For now, not worth it.
Cowmeat, My buddy asked to paint my car one day to practice. I came out and that stripe was on it. My little nephew liked lightning mcqueen (cars movie) so we put some lightning bolts on it for him. It's a beater to me so I could care less. The paintjob is actually flat white. Previous owner couldn't even use gloss. I won't wash it because i'm afraid it will peel off.
I have a new truck and a couple mustangs when I care what people think. I actually think the car is pretty fun in it's own weird way.
