Re: where to get a 2 and 1/2 inch hood??

I've got a Harwood 4" outlaw cowl hood on my 86. They make good hoods. Nice finish and they are pretty stiff for fiberglass. At 100+ it starts to get a little shaky though. :eek:

I run a Richmond lock-right in my IROC after I gernaded the stock gears/posi/bearings. I ran it for a summer and didn't have any problems. It makes the odd noise every once in awhile but from what...

Mileage

not really related to anything in this thread but I had to laugh about all the gas mileage related comments. Got me thinking about how my daily driven dodge ram gets around 10mpg on road. I get...
