When it came to the front coilovers, I decided to use Alden Americans ($500 for the pair), so it took me 10 weeks to save the money to buy them. I was on that project for 8 years and had it about 80% completed before some fellow from Camp Verde Arizona made me a deal to trade out of it. That's just how it works.PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
