Any insight would be welcomed, the choices are a bit overwhelming at the moment!

maybe get somebody to get some weight off of the combo in C/SA with the conv the weight is 3815

I can show you where the money goes.

You pay for a lot more than parts and labor, you pay for what people spent years learning.

Surely not the first to question, but you really think you know more than the next guy ?

Hi Alan,

I remember looking at Bo Laws spoiler (A lot of people did) back in the early 70's with the Speed costs money quote and truer words where never spoken...................

PS:
Maybe it was the late 60's???????????

PSS:
I also think that Alan knows a lot more than a lot of people........

Wow 3815 lbs! The car with Yves in it was just less than 3400lbs in SS IA, I don't think you could find a place for an extra 400 lbs!
