Tony_Urwin Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 Several forum members have emailed me after receiving invitations to join LinkedIn, which is a social networking site for business professionals. A collegue invited me to join, and I guess I was careless enough to let the site send invites to those of you who are in my list of contacts. Please just decline the invitation if you are not interested. The site is harmless enough, even useful to some business professionals, but I know many of you want to reduce you internet footprint as much as possible. Anyway, my apologies... On another note, I just returned from my niece's wedding in Texas to find that I have been laid off for the second time in eight years. I'm keeping the running Pilothouse, but I also have two project vehicles that may have to go: a 48 Club Coupe a 52 DeSoto wagon Also available: a George Asche-built 265ci flathead (0 miles) w/dual carbs and headers a George Asche-built overdrive (0 miles) A dyno-tested rebuilt 318 (0 miles) Brand-new Mopar Performance A-518 transmission Lots of misc stuff, from chrome spoke wheels, re-plated bumpers, etc that may end up on eBay. I know it's a bad time to sell, but with two kids in college, I would consider selling some of my projects (or parts) if anyone is interested. Quote
Young Ed Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 Replated bumpers for what?? and you're a little far away but I'd love to see a picture of the desoto wagon? Does it have a hemi? Quote
Olddaddy Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 Tony, what year is the 318? I'm looking for one for my 93 Dodge Van. Quote
HanksB3B Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 Sorry you were laid off. It's a tough job market these days but have faith. You'll find something even better! Hank Quote
NiftyFifty Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 I'm looking for a dual carb intake for the 25" long block 251 if you have? Quote
Don Coatney Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Tony; I actually got 3 E-mail invites but they looked to be all canned messages so I trashed them. Sorry to hear of your job loss. I have been through that many times. In fact the day I stopped by your house driving my P-15 I was between jobs and had an interview in Cincinnati. I was offered the job but declined due to a better job I found right here on this forum. Networking works! Once a door closes another always opens. Sorry to hear you are selling your collection of stuff. Is the Desoto still a work in progress? I remember when you bought it. If memory serves me well you took a Greyhound bus about 400 miles to pick this car up and you drove it home. Edited August 10, 2011 by Don Coatney Quote
Tony_Urwin Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Posted August 10, 2011 Ed, here's a picture of the DeSoto. I bought it in NY and drove it back 650 miles to Cincinnati. Quote
Young Ed Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 Wow Tony thats an awesome car. Hemi? Would be a shame to sell that baby. Quote
ggdad1951 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 sorry man, been there, done that. But I've found it generally means better things are on the way! Quote
Tony_Urwin Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Posted August 11, 2011 Thank you all for the encouragement. Finances will improve, I may even take the opportunity to go back to school myself. Which makes it even more likely that I will sell some toys. I got some notices that I missed some Private Messages because my Mailbox was full. I cleaned out the box, so please resend your messages if you didn't get a reply. Quote
