Try right-clicking on the image to get a selection of processes. Then left click on "Properties". You may see the http address for the pic. Copy the address, and paste it here on a post.

She look something like this?

Bill Ladd · #33 11-23-2010, 10:40 PM

Or send me a link to the site. I'll get 'em off for you.

Thanks! I'll try that tomorrow.

Off to sleepyby now.

Oh btw, I am hoping to rig it so I can tow the FF with the 85 SD. It will be right at the limit without brakes, 1500#. I love my dodge but having the capability to tow the autocross with something smaller has its attractions.

Very similar. I like the color. I am planning to do mine up in Black and orange. Maybe even an AJ Foyt commemorative scheme.

Here she is. I don't much care for the smurf blue color but I like the car!

Wow looks like fun

Bill Ladd · #38 11-24-2010, 07:15 AM

That's right, I'd forgotten that the 85s had gotten new bodywork (and I think some suspension changes as well?).

Sweet!!

What kind of spares kit comes with it?

The color's not so bad. I'd replace those tires though - they're nearly bald...

A spare upright....some steelie rims. Not much really compared to some I looked at.

Dudes -- There's nothing like watching the rubber on your tires heat up and move around as you move through the turns.

Open wheel racing is AWESOME!!!

The upholsterer I have used is in to carting and he is 6’1” 205. He can give up fifty #’s plus in a forty HP class. When he came in 6th out of 42 the winner congratulated him.
