[Mouthfulloflake]

they hurt his feet, and are in his way is pretty much what he told me last year.

 

[sjaholic]

onesojourner i rode 24 years without them. i guess it's all what you are use to. i'm one of the rare breed who rides shoeless.

X2 rags, here you go. it's a 1962 ford falcon i bought in 2001. it was all original 6 cylinder/ 3 speed on the column. found it in a barn. several windows were shot out and interior was crap.

on and off i spent 3-4 years on it. it now has all new front end, disc brakes, 4.11 gears, C4 with a smaller convertor, 9.5 to 1 302, roller rockers, thumpin cam, edelbrock, 750 holley, msd, shorty headers, new paint/ interior, 16" wheels and more.

has not been driven since 05. i'm replacing the whole fuel system from the tank to the carb. also replacing the leaf springs...massive wheel hop that tweaked the drivers side spring.

i worked on skis all winter so i haven't touched it. before this i had a tubed bblock 53 f 100. 69 nova ss and a few others.
