    Yea when I first got on here one of the first threads I saw your "muscle car to buy at 16" Are you graduating this year or did you already graduate?

    Phil, good to hear from you too...I see you are getting one of your 73's all painted up...the T-code car right? Century w/ 455? Looks really nice!

    Save me a race once I have the GS done. Deal?:TU:


    Here's a few more pictures.... got the front coil springs back in and put an insulator on the top to keep them quiet. Also got the Q-jet all back together. :TU:

    All done with high school and I go to school now at LaSalle University!

    Where are you looking to attend?

    I was thinking about LaSalle but its not high up on the list. I'm really holding off to see if I can play football anywhere, but even if I can I dont know if I would want to. So with that in mind I was looking at Temple, St. Francis, Pitt, and then local schools around here: Marywood University, Misericordia University, and the University of Scranton.
