  1. get a younger person, why, my reasoning is simple, they sit around all day using their thumbs on their binky phones......got to be mega strength there...!!
  2. you would just be slapping your forehead for emphasis....
  3. I was thinking Ed might donate one of his bungee straps, they proven to hold a battery in place for 7 years....! Not picking on you but somewhere along the way you need to stick with what is best for the car....and stock is still working well after all these years.
  4. no slay is appropriate, swallow a camel and gag on a gnat....beside, this is the south where there is no place for sleigh or sled....say that out loud about here, it's either a deer in headlights stare or a "you not from around here are ya" reply. Being thrifty and self-sufficient only goes so far, somewhere you going/got to pay to play and well, I assure you can readily point out those that don't. I got a few license plates and self tapping screws I could donate to a floor pan repair if you get my drift.
  5. after ponying up for twin turbos you going to choke on a trunk latch.....this is the type of threads that slay me
  6. I figure with twin turbos your forward momentum would be so great with the downward force that would be no need for truck lock.....If you are retaining the original handle, you will likely need to use the original latch and cleat.
  7. Not to sound snarly but it may seem that way to a few, but if you are entertaining or have bought a kit from supplier, then by all means that said supplier should be able and WILLING to address any issue you may have any aspect of applying their wares to your vehicle. You will likely get a reply to link here to I DID THIS or I DID THAT but nay not be exact to your application. To say they just plug and play, for the most part many of the kits strive for this but there are always it seems some tweaks by most users before the job is buttoned up and done.
  8. I visualize that large event such as Hershey or any other established annual event will have an increase of on the ground up close and personal awareness (AGENTS IN PLACE) in the venders face trickling down to the once every so many years sellers of project residue and such clearing a shop or garage. Not just a form presented with the registration package. When you have a motto that could well be: "we have what it takes to take what you have" At one time small events like at a flea market or the yard sale of an individual was never considered substantial source of revenue for the tax collector....but today in the face of larger government at every level, the tax man cometh. This is not a political statement it is merely business.
  9. cost of doing business...seller or buyer.......I pay sales tax and every purchase made....it would pain me to no end to think they are not forwarding these taxes to the property collection agency of the government. Wait until the venues like your Hershey event is FORCED to divulge every sellers address that rented a space and appropriate tax forms dispensed. And, the walls start crumbling down....
  10. Nice plate......! I do thank my state DMV for allowing the practice of YOM tags....after 21 years, they changed my military service tag's format and issued me an upgraded design. I would have liked to have kept the old one but change is inevitable it seems.
  11. years ago I bought a floor shifter for these old Plymouths from a member here. I kept it a bit and then sent it to a bud who was interested in duplication of the shifter and linkage. Some time did pass and this never materialized and he mailed it back to me. Later the guy who sold it to me called and we were talking this and that and the man asked if I would be so kind to sell it back to him. It is now with him and no word if ever put in a car. They are not easy to come, a smooth acting one is a bit complicated build. I looked in my archives and if I ever did photograph it, I have no idea now where those pics may be.
  12. most penetrating oil of commercial nature are loaded with alcohol-based thinners that dry out in short order and lever very little oil protection film behind and added to that the hygroscopic nature...not what I would recommend for long term storage.
  13. MID LIFE CRISIS CHECK LIST New sporty car........X Second and totally different job...................X Girl friend................Fun, but likely you will NEED item number two, the second job.
  14. mail yourself 6 envelopes. Within each envelope place an invoice for 500.00 having it front of you in this manner often helps with reality.....but hey, I can grasp the passion however.....why I have also been a bit slow embracing putting the Jensen Interceptor on the road.
  15. the letter I is actually an one has always been that way
  16. when NASA reaches Mars, wait till they see the passport documentation fees I have waiting for them......I cannot see why they want to go there, there is no chocolate or coffee....what's the point?
  17. are you saying if you were to blow your horn near a Civil War cemetery the war would start up again..(not that in some areas it ever was over to begin with)
  18. It is now December, I will likely this evening retrieve from storage the Christmas stuff my wife likes to display. Let the festivities begin....! Call me old fashion but I am one of the few it seems that will take the time and cough up postage for Christmas cards.....this is an age old tradition that I will not break...
  19. I could get joyous a bit IF those that celebrated Christmas WOULD wait (as you did) to open the season after the Thanksgiving holiday....but Christmas is on sale in all stores it seems long before Halloween candy is offered for sale....which by the way is now being pushed way ahead of that tradition. Early Halloween candy sales is pushed as it has been found that the purchasers will consume this candy ahead of the holiday and will need to go out and resupply.....not disgruntled, just disappointed.
  20. was thinking you meant 32nds....but my math is as laborious at time also....I don't need a thermometer or numbers on the dang thing to tell me it is cold outside right now....
  21. if 3/8 was large...11/16 is off the chart......
  22. not so sure about other folks coupes...both of mine had only have the forward bulkhead and package as the finishing touches on enclosure with the Dodge having the locking fitted cubby behind the passenger side of the seat and the drivers side got the curtain that was held with snaps and finished package tray that hid the spare tire from view. The Plymouth has the exposed fitted spare tire finished bulkhead and package tray. It has been finished by me to have a fitted inside the trunk bulkhead and side panels due to the zero emissions fuel system and hidden stereo. Jack is hidden behind the spare and the tools are fitted in a tray that finished the inside lower bulkhead. The spare is fitted with a sewn cover as is the floor fitted with matching vinyl to the panels after sewing a hem around the dges. Many complete these to complement their build and actual purpose.
  23. awoke early this morning to a downpour of rain...combined driving of 10.5 hours yesterday to travel to the military academy the grandson attends, he got his ring in ceremony and then the parade and he is with me for 5 weeks winter break. Is good, not seen the lad for many years as they lived in the UK and then the left coast. Mums is already busy in the kitchen, I like Dan, am sipping fresh pot of coffee and likely will start the build of a military shadow box for my deceased brother in law, got the last items day before yesterday. Be good to get the layout completed. So a wonderful Thanksgiving to all here....and Happy Birthday to ME!
  24. the 41 Dodge and (big sisters) BC has 5'8" of room front to back..sleep diagonally, may folks can use these as campers.....lol keep in mind, the front bulkhead has space for the spare tire and separate locking compartment for documents.
  25. nah, folks were afraid to sit close to someone back in the day....with bucket seats in my 48 business couple....there is no option for closeness.....(by purpose) lol
