Congrats on the POTM!!! Funny how even a DD can morph into a semi-serious project
. That's the reason why I will never get a Panther as a DD.

Thanks mangs!!
Yeah, now comes rebuilding the front end with Moog stuff in spring...along with putting the motor in.
Well, the good thing is that now I can take my time over winter. I can sandblast and possible powder coat everything I want before I install it. So the end product should be fabulous! Ka-Chow!
Oh, the Tank broke 190k last night, on the I-190, at exit.....16. Almost!!

Thanks mang!
I grabbed both lights and directionals. (with the different directionals, the Tank will go from a GS to a LS. Not like that really matters or anything.)
Ill be taking alot more from that car.

Tank broke 191k last night. Also put 2 new winterforce tires on. So now, there's 4 winterforce tires on it. And a fresh NYS inspection. Word.

If you're ever around Tonawanda, keep your eyes peeled for either of these two cars:
The Escort is obviously easy to identify, and the Cavalier's tattletales are a dixie license plate cover, a big Megan Racing canister muffler and '95-99 rear tails. One of my besties lives up there, and kind of digs cars with 'unique' mods to 'em. The Escort is her beater, the Cav her baby. You'd probably find either of them hanging around Pizza Di' Lite, since she's a delivery girl. Awesome joint, by the way. It was the best pie I've had and I haven't experienced a better one since. :P Haven't been up to that area in 3 years, I miss northern New York.1997 Lincoln Town Car Executive Series - Charlene

I respectfully disagree, I personally think that on average the best pizza you can get in the area is in Trenton. :P1997 Lincoln Town Car Executive Series - Charlene

I'll have to agree on that one! I had a customer in Ozone Park NY (Queens) and there was the most amaziing hole in the wall pizza joint across the street. OTOH We are pretty lucky in NJ that you can find good pizza (food in general) anywhere.Originally posted by gadget73 View Post2020 Volvo XC90 T6 Momentum (Ice White / Blonde)

Bocce, Franco's, Primo, Pizza Junction, or LaNova.
You really can't beat it.
And on car related note, I may be able to make a junkyard run next week and pick up a PCM for the Tank from a 94. I think it will solve my PCM relay issue. And maybe the black plastic kick panel under the dash so I can mount my other light there. Stock, of course.
I should post a pic later of the business end of the Tank. I love the tread pattern of those Winterforce tires!!

Oh and the northeast definitely has the best pizza, especially the NYC, NJ, Philly area. There are not too many crappy pizza joints around here, unless you buy from the franchise places.
