Been getting back into model rocketry this summer. Man how its changed since the early 80's! No more are 3oz rockets on "D" engines considered "big". This is where midpower and highpower rocketry is at now:

To really appreciate just how big some of these are, pay attention from 2:30 to about 2:55.
EDIT: Saturn V rocket by itself:

If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump
Danny & John - are you guys coming down to the PVGP Sunday? Today was awesome - TONS of cars - it was an amazing day. Any others coming down tomorrow? Today Russ ( PSPstang ) was there, and so was Brian ( Intel ). I was parked with gpfarrell in his awesome display.

so, I sent wifey an off-the-wall email crying about my job and I say I'm going to quit and sell Mary Kay... maybe I can even win a pink cadillac if I sell enough.
This is what she writes back word for word. I never thought she listened to me...
"pretty! then you can change the gears, put in long tube headers and an x pipe."

Thinking about doing a little weight loss to my GT. Might take the backseat out and spare tire. I am looking for a little more MPG. Think it would be worth it?
Also might roll my fenders, other than using the Eastwood Roller and heat gun or a baseball bat anyone know of any other ways?

Hey Barry - with the fresh paint on your quarter(s) I'd be really careful rolling those rear lips. I would have a pro do it - or at the very least someone who has done it successfully a few times. Otherwise you might do more harm than good. I watched while I had mine done ( on the '66 ) and seeing the effort it took I was glad I didn't do it myself. Granted, the rear lips on a '66 are much tougher to roll than on a fox ( due to the quarter being welded to the outer wheelhouse - the 2 layers are very rigid ), but still.

How wide of a tire do you plan on running to need rolled fenders? I know you have to go pretty damn wide to need the fenders rolled on the 99-04 cars. I also think you are better off leaving the rear seats in since you won't see any difference in mpg. I speak from experience on that

I had 315s on the back of my SN95 on 18x10 Saleens and it was lowered on H&R SS springs and only during auto-x did it ever so slightly contact the fender, but not near enough to warrant fender rolling. Plus I weigh 250lbs and usually roll around with a car load of fat chicks.
If I dont have to then I wont, saves on me. Might get rid on the back seat regardless. My seat is pushed back almost touching the back seat. Never had to use the backseat anyway.

Went to a show yest. at Moon twp Ford and won a trophy with the Cali. I was shocked when i found out i won. There were some nice cars in my class too. I beat out a 2011 Black GT 500,(not Blackmagic) and a new C.O. Boss 302.

I thought that might have been you in the GB/CS -car looked NICE!!! and sounded good as you started up and rolled out!! I was passing by the dealership with my daughter in my F150 just as cars were leaving, so I stopped to see if my buddy Jason was there in his '65 GT350. There were some nice cars there - that white 30's pickup that won dealer's choice was really sweet!!
Did my good deed for the day when I spotted a California duster on the ground next to where a car had been parked. Told another car owner and he was able to flag the guy down on his way out. Turns out the owner was in a REALLY nice black terminator convertible.
