Thanks, I do enjoy the power disc brake and power steering. It really is a great driving car for being 36 years old.

I've owned the opposite, a 440 auto/manual valve body 71 road runner with 4 wheel drums, no power brakes and no pwr steering....talk about a handfull!!!!! I'm glad both of my current cars have disc/pwr steering!

Wow, that must have been a tough car to drive. My 1972 Camaro I just sold had about a 400hp small block in it, but the car had did not have power brakes. So every time you jump on the gas you had to hover the other foot over the brakes because it took both feet to stop that thing quick!

It was hard to drive....had an agressive cam in it too. I could just barely get it stopped, but couldn't hold it at a light....actually had to take it out of gear to keep it from moving!

Well I got my wing nut off of ebay last week. I have been working on restoring the jack and tools. I spent a long time cleaning, preping, and painting them. They look awesome. Here are a couple pic of my trunk, not the greatest photos I took them with my camera phone. Tell me what you think!

Thank you guys!! You what the greatest part of this is, the more I put the car back together, the smaller the piles of car parts get around my house!! My girlfriend is pleased the recovered seats are out of the living room and the jack base is off the counter. LoL

So if we have a meet somewhere, and you drive up in your car, someone says "What's that sound coming from the trunk...?" --- We'll know.

-_-
