or even MOFOWAGEN after his noble (NOT!) intentions with the world.

I know I'm going back to a previous debate but would someone please explain why you would even think of doing this?

Do what, Frank?

Lack of intelligence Frank.

Must be a Free State Car, hit a helluva pothole and collapsed the suspension...

Was I the only person who noticed it had a shockless beam?

To get the wheels in this far, you woulddnt have any space for the gas tank left over as that beam is about a 8 incher most probally.

Which is part of the reason behind my answer.

I'm going to if i have to see or hear anything more about shockless beams!

Ok next topic

Drums vs disks.

my vote is for disks!

I myself would aslo go Disks, but alot of people have said that a good set of adjusted drums is the same as disk??

A good set of adjusted drums is good,but it doesn't last as long.The main reason for people changing to discs is the constant adjusting required by drums to keep them good.

The other reason is,especially with hotter engines,that they don't stop the car that well and heat up too quickly and keep the heat inside which makes for bad fading and even failure.I have seen brake linings come off after continous high speed use.

The cooler brakes stay,the better.
