Yeah, I thought about giving you a jingle but figured everyone's busy with family. I thought about driving to Sonic in Savage or at least up to the Southdale area and find that Five Guys Burger joint.

Happy Easter everyone. I finished installing my Swift springs last weekend, so I figured I'd post up a pic. Drop was about an inch all around....I think it's perfect, just what I was looking for.
Thanks Tommy for loaning me the spring compressors! It made the difficult job of replacing the front springs possible to do myself.

how do you like the ride? I put swifts on a honda I had a couple yrs back, based on rave reviews... and I did not like them. the drop was good and all, but the ride, well, um... no

don't worry fellas.... 80 acres of corn in the ground already. we be rolling so warm weather is on its way. we'll just appreciate it more when it does come.
And for those that may or may not know... my father had a kidney transplant on good friday (the 22nd). all is good with him and the donor. If any of you have the chance/opportunity to donate, it is a chance to do something truly special for another person and their family

Glad to hear your dad is fine, Aaron. I didn't know he got a transplant. Hopefully, I won't ever have to experience that but I'd do it for my family if it did happen.

I was a bit concerned about that too. So far I really like the ride, I drove to work 3 days this week and for a while yesterday. Very close to stock. A bit stiffer of course, but still pretty smooth.

Must be nice to have a quiet house, Scott.
Alright, I'm going to go pick up dinner. BBL

Agreed. I've got an optima red in my 61 Continental - although the first one I had went bad after a year (there's always some bad ones).
I've left my lights on for more than an hour and it still starts right up.
Now having said that, it will probably be bad when I go to get it out of storage.

That was probably a good choice. It's phuggin impossible to find parts for it when something breaks, and the people that have the old Lincoln parts know how to charge for them.

interstate, duralast gold or a premium battery from batteries plus. I have lost faith in the xxxx-top batteries. quality control isn't there to justify the premium price
glad to see you are still around. haven't seen you post much
