Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

Hey Al,... I see you opened up your wallet and bought a RideTech "MuscleBar" sway bar for the front.
They are really nice,... but also expensive.
(I have one on my blazer)
I think you will like it.

Everything looks great!

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

Too bad there isnt a big Goodguys show or something going on in your area soon.
That can usually speed up a wheel company if you tell them you are going or debuting there.

Intro got a set to me a little faster one time for that reason.
