[V8] New V8Q

[GEORGE TUR]

Dee, i had the AC retrofitted to R134 on my V8 and it worked pretty well 
in the muggy New Jersey summer. If you still live in the Freehold area 
the shop that is within reasonable distance to you and is also familiar 
with the V8 is Autobahn Automotive in Lakewood. I used them for quite a 
few years and they are reputable. Like others have mentioned there are 
are basket weave wheels available that are 15 x 7.5 and also 5 spoke 16 
x 8 wheels. The 16 x 8 wheels I had bookmarked in my browser from a firm 
called http://www.wheels-and-rims.com. I don't know if they are still 
available there.

I'm surprised that you picked up a V8, the V8s require a lot more 
attention than the 95 A6Q.
