[Shotimes] 60,000 Mile Inspection -- Thanks to SHO NUT and NESHO Specialists

[Fred George]

Folks:

Just completed second 60K on my GEN 1, original-owner-since-new car. 
Special thanks to both Joshua Teixeira at SHO Nut Performance and Fred 
Hurder at New England SHO Specialists for their help and technical 
assistance in locating all the valve shims we needed to close the 
clearances down to factory spec. Some of these shims ranged from 2675 to 
2825, just slightly thinner than red or black checkers.

Now, I surely could use left and right front power plus rear bench 
replacement seats in grey leather. Mine are worn. And the headliner is 
tattered and needs replacement. Did anyone ever figure out how to 
convert the headlights to HID (xenon) while retaining the stock outside 
lenses. Any suggestions / recommendations?

PS: VERY SORRY that Al Fitz is pulling up stakes. What a class act and a 
good friend to our user group.
