Pix!!!!! Finally!!!!!

I finally got my pictures re-sized, even though crudely at that. I went into Paint, and fought it until it re-sized the pics for me! I am proud to present...my car!

Just in case anyone is wondering how to do what I did, I will tell you. Just open up Paint, and under the 'image' tab, select 'Sketch/Skew' and when the box comes up, just change the 100's to 50's or smaller, and you're all set!! I feel soo smart now!

Very clean man, very clean. Pepole say my bird is clean, but that's midwest clean, where new cars rust. If my paint looked that good, I wouldn't bother repainting it. Very nice, I dig it... but does it have a big block?

Nope, but plans call fo a new 351 W sometime down the road...when we can justify spending the money. Right now, I'm not drivin it, so it doesn't matter if it runs or not.

I dig windsors, Jim. They're torquey and cool and are the best small block out there. I actually just built one this weekend for the new "work" truck dad and I are building. still, very clean bird!

Once again, I am more of a 351M kind of guy, just because I can be. One thing a 302 or 351W really has in their favor, would be aftermarket support. Tons of available stuff out there. A great choice of parts to choose form for either engine.
Kick ass looking car also. I am looking for 2 of the light blue turbine wheels as well. Any help?

Wish I could help ya, but all of mine are gold. I need the center caps though. They are tougher to find than the wheels, and at $40 apeice, I'm reluctant to buy them for wheels that may end up being replaced a few years down the road.
