How tall are those puppies, App? And how is the ride? Quiet?
305/70 R18's so ~35" tall and 12" wide, Mickey Thompson lists them as 35.3" tall. Can't really hear them at all with the windows up, the previous factory installed 35" Duratracs were louder. I'll be on a 17 hour drive later today I'll have to listen to see if I can hear them. Ford does a pretty good job keeping the interiors quiet as you know.
My Son broke the handle off on his Tacoma. Replacement is at least a week away. Decided to make temporary repair. Din’t laugh it works.
Dang when this happened to my jeep I just rolled the window down, opened it from the outside, and closed the window
New to me '13 Honda Accord EX-L NA V6 6spd aka: 6-6. 62kmi. Gonna flush brake fluid, change manual transmission fluid, RuffTuff seat covers...
Old man needs a hotrod (of sorts).

I originally read that as a 6.6 (as-in liters), and I was all "WOW!!!"
Nice ride, btw!
That manual makes that not a common car. I like it.
Go visit Tein and find some fun suspension stuff to get her down an inch or two.
Finally got busy with the buffer on my ‘68 El Camino. It’s been in paint for about three months and I’ve just now got a hole big enough in my retired-guy-schedule to finally knock the dirt nibs off and hit it with a heavy cut compound. Windshield and back window are going in on Tuesday then I’ll put the hood on it and give it the final polish.
Sweet, and a big block!! I just finished fixing some paint chips and buffing out my TDI but after seeing this why bother?
BTW your shop is too organized!

Considering Tein but would likely have to take it to Vegas for quality install, done right. Camber concerns, yada.. And I'm old so not that fired up about that stuff. Sucker does ok as is, understeer can be overcome with moderation
.Bone stock (like an LJR) is pretty rare.
Have to admit that picture is HOT!
I could read the lips of the 20-something hotties when they catch up to check me out, "Oh F'k! It's an old man!"
'70. Tremec 5spd, Holly Snyper EFI, tubular A-arms...

I had a friend in high school that ran a pretty hot '71 Buick GS. He loved that thing so much that he eventually opened a shop that restored GS and GSX cars, as well as modifying 'em using Kenne-Bell parts. At one point he had acquired a Stage II car, but I don't know whatever became of it. Nice cars, all. Would love to see a pic of yours, regardless of condition. Real car guys can see the beauty in even an extreme project.
Aaaand, there it is (I really need to read all the posts before responding to anything!)

Dave Knutsen by chance?
Did you ever happen to know a fella name Dave Johnson (Bluto)? He's the Buick guy I went to school with. I believe he's a realtor in Arizona, now.
