Radiator

I'm in the process of building a 360 with the horse power expected to be at 400 or a little more. the question is if anybody knows of a radiator that will replace my original one. If I was to guess, I would think a 3 row alum. would do the trick. also the new 360 will have a newer hi flow water pump...

Re: Headlight upgrade

I also went with the H4 Auto-pal lights. they work great. just watch what wattage bulbs you put in them. I think mine are the 55 watt bulbs(low beam) I also put a set in an old D50 and people were hitting me with there brights ,when mine were on low.

I also got a doe the following Thurs(11-18-10), but it was only a 60 yd. shot. They were both shot across the road from...

Re: Redneck Tank Top

OMG , I think that may be a chick. maybe it was at some kinda three-day drunk-fest party and she has her tee shirt on for shorts. that would mean that where her head is suppose to come out of the shirt it could be open.
