              Thanks everyone! Yes the anti=theft system is DEFINITELY in the works lol. And the car feels like it is on rails now. The less mushy sidewall is awesome. Although now you can feel every bump but that I have no problem living with.

                  well its official, I am officially in the market for another panther to use as a DD. Its time to start the full restoration on vicky, which includes removing vinyl top, all emblems, all granny trim, and a respray. I'm tired of roadsalt eating this thing. And especially with its new look, I have never been so hyped about working on it before. I'll put it through this winter if I absolutely have to, but if I do, It will be its last.

                      Very, very nice indeed!!! Those wheels compliment that car nicely. You'll be looking for shorter/stiffer springs fairly soon; at least that's what happened with my mom's CV. Get a crappy (though shiney if you can afford it) DD; something that you can just do maintenance on to get you where you wanna go. In the end, it works out better that way.

                            the wheels were 700, lugs and center caps another hundred, tires were 400, and 100 bucks in shipping for a grand total of 1300 dollars.

                            Thanks again for the complements everyone!

                              The tires got their wet test today, I got caught in the pouring down rain on the way back home, so I figured I would just test how much grip they actually had :evil:. Needless to say, these tires stick more on wet pavement than the old tires did on DRY pavement lol.
