Subject: Re: Anyone add performance modifications to their ASC MClarens?

Body:
Thanks Sandy...and I'd NEVER do any of that other crap---I'd puke
too...as a matter of fact...The stock rims will eventually go back
on...I'm getting into the mode where anything not factory stock
looking is ugly to me (well not ugly but...). The stock rims have to
be stripped and re-powder coated plus I need new centers...I'm in the
lazy mode at the moment, plus I still have no job so that whole
project will have to wait...I also want to relocate the "A" pillar
gauges to be more hidden (glove box maybe)...then just the roll bar
will be the only interior mod and the exterior will be 100% correct.
One good thing about my wheels though is I've never seen them on any
other Mustang or Capri...plus I have custom centers so most people
don't even know they aren't stock :-) On a similiar note...I went to
a car show Saturday just to observe and I can't beleive some of the
stuff people do to their cars...I know some people think my car is
the ugliest thing around...but some of the stuff people do to their
cars just boggles my mind...anyway, just a rant...thanks again
Sandy...

Until later,
Mike
