I rarely like Formulas, but that is one nice car..Plus, being from Tennessee, particularly like the color..

Good question??? They are not like the trim rings on the 73 and up cars and much harder to remove. How does one remove these early style rings without damaging?

I'll be going over the car later this afternoon and this weekend. Look forward in learning more and correcting whats wrong. Took my son for his first rip yesterday and he loved it.
Thanks again D for let it go!

Brew,
Trim rings should just pull off. Podokar and I poped one off and it was a KR.

I was kind of hoping you might change your mind and bring her back. I'm gonna miss that car.

I guess I gotta change my sig now.......

I'm curious about how many original miles are on the Sundance car if you wouldn't mind...the seller listed the mileage on the Super Duty cars but not the Formy.

I am at home however I'll be back down due to a project Im helping with in Borrington Hills. Would love to hook up and will give you a call on Monday. How about a golf game this week?

D, Go rip in that new green thing in your garage for a while. You'll forget all about this here silver car Took by buddy Jody for a rip in it and even got a high five from him. Guess he likes it too!

Mike, looks like those honeys where dealer/owner installed. Are you going to switch to the light weight Rally II's ???

Sounds good on car show!

Not sure on the Honey vs Rally yet?
Whats the thought on this car.
I would stay F60x15 either way. They are good looking tires!

Rally II's trim rings?

Mike. You can purchase one here, if you like. Different sizes too. I like how the lettering matches the interior color.
