    The F body was miserable work on. I venture to say that's why a lot of them get junked. Sure the parts are cheap, but even some people have their limits

    I actually met with my retirement adviser this week and discussed other investments.

    People should do it, I damn sure don’t want to be chained to this job until I’m old and can’t do the things I enjoy.

    Didn't mind working on my F body. V8 6-speed T tops. Donuts for days!

    Sure it's 12k more but you also just took off $xxxx.xx in OEM non-pro parts that can be sold off. It's probably cheaper to get the OR and upgrade everything, but it's also a PITA and not worth the time.

    Not to mention a lot of these things are cheaper elsewhere.

    Meh

    Fun per dollar they can't be beat. I didn't find them to be fun to work on the same for the 300ZX TT

    Yup, that used to be my world, or as close as you could be in it without owning one. I could tell you RPO codes, what options were on what year for the entire original 35 year run. Closest I got was beginning a 396 build for a '69 that never materialized. C'est la vie.

    Did you remember to include the leaf springs and sway bar?
    Mine is basically a Pro clone (all oem parts) except for the fact that I haven’t changed the fore-mentioned two items and badging but most importantly the fact that mine is a LB (which is why I didn’t buy the pro) Mine wasn’t quite as expensive as your list but yeah ... it’s pricey but I’m happy with the results!

    No sir. The exclusive TRD Pro leaf springs and the front sway bar were not included on my list, thanks for mentioning.

    See post #78.

    Yes, the TRD Pro leaf springs have a separate part number and are TRD tuned specifically for the exclusive Pro Fox shocks.
