Whitey....when I see you car, I can't help but think of 7 Up.

Nice and clean, no caffeine. (That old commercial still is rattling around in my head, lol).

Thanks AK! That means a lot coming from someone with your eye. LOL.... at first I thought you were talking about the 7-up Mustangs back in 1990. Do you know about them?

I'd only seen one, when I went to Seattle in 97. My cousin's neighbor had one. It ran well, but didn't seem like 255hp like is stated in the info. Cute rig though. I'd own one. I like the Fox bodies, especially the sportsroof (fastbacks/hatchbacks). Nice refresher, Whitey.

Man am I sore. I'm even to sore to do that!

Lesson learned, I will hire this done next time.

Just 1.5 loads to go, in the truck only. BUT, the truck is sitting in the shop loaded and it's raining....think I'll take a nap. Perhaps transfer to an Excursion later if the rain doesn't stop.

Well today, while I was laying in bed with a very sore back, I was playing around looking for lighted towing mirrors. I must of looked at 30 different ones, different companies, etc. I couldn't find anyone who would ship for less than $100 to me.

I thought about trying my daughters Alabama address, but when I went to put the zip in, I looked at the side and found a pleasant surprise. The seller listed UPS Ground for $200, but on the second type, they evidently made a mistake. They showed economy shipping for $10. Yes $10. I'm sure it should of been $100, but if it is listed that way, they usually will honor their screw ups.

I just checked and they were shipped today, via UPS, but they will be here by Thursday. LOL. I wouldn't of gotten them until next Wednesday if I had them shipped via UPS Ground. Sometimes it really pays to read all the information in the ads. STROKE!!! Lil Red gets new glasses (mirrors).

There is a 10 gen running around our area that appears to have later model towing mirrors on.
Just in passing, it looks like a nice install- straight,square and the door mount looks like it fits well-
I dont pull a trailer, so... but it is an interesting mod.
Hope it turns out well for you AK- dont forget pics!
