  4. PLEASE PLEASE !!!Keep that thing on the west coast!!! I can not beleive how hard some people will work to RUIN an automobile!!!! not that he started with much anyway...LOL
  5. Don't forget Turbo Lover: Judas Priest
  6. I listen to everything from Golden Oldies to Goth to Country and everything in between. There are just too many great choices!!! If I have to choose, my first memory of a car song that I loved as a kid was "Little old lady from Pasadena" I think it was performed by Jan and Dean. I guess the newest song I like that I know of is "Dragula" by Rob Zombie... "Dragula" was the coffin dragster built by George Barris for an episode of the Munsters where Grandpa wanted to Dragrace Herman...
  7. Any bodyfiller you buy at hardware or regular autoparts places tends to be low cost and poor quality. Find an automotive paint store in your area and they will guide you on what to use for what situation... I like Rage Gold. There are other good quality fillers as well and some places even have "house brands" that are just the good stuff repackaged in store named cans for marketing. When you find a good store, use it for all of your body needs and as they get used to seeing you they will give you better pricing. Remember as with anything you tend to get what you pay for so don't let some of the pricing scare you. Good sandpaper and quality tapes and such last longer and do a better job... Polyester puttys are great for dings and smoothing panels allover. The can be bought in squirt tubes and spread like cake frosting. My favorite brand is even called "Icing"
  8. I really need to get into the 21st century.. Fuel inj and turbos just freak me out. I like carbs...but man that looks powerful!
  9. Dude, he is coming over from Japan! Didnt they perfect "overcrowded" LOL!!!! Congrats on the kido!!!! Best thing they could teach him is keep yopur head low and shoot straight !!! Works in and out of the corp!......LOL !
  10. Well man, lets just hope there is some version of Heaven..... I like to think acts of kindness will get us there... I've never offered to help someone or borrowed anything from someone, that it didn't end up costing me time/money..
  11. I bought all of them. I got a GREAT DEAL! I think I'll put them on Ebay and with pics and see what they sell for.. LMAO!!!
  12. Thats the side impact crashbar. Keeps a car from coming in on you in a side crash...very heavy in most cars and hard to remove without damaging the skin of the door
  13. Sounds like some of my luck. I bounced around for years using various shops with mixed results. I finally decided to go to the local tracks and ask the guys that consistently performed well who they use... I was surprised to find that many used older shops with old equipment and old ways... They trusted the machinist and that was most important. I learned that big money shops need big money to operate and that means they have to turn out work in volume. They get sloppy sometimes and use "freshly schooled techs"... (cheaper to hire) I am very happy with my guy. He's about 50yrs old and has a place in the back of a fishing tackle shop!!.... low overhead, equipment is paid for so he is happy to do good quality work and come to the tracks each week and watch it work! He might take a month to finish a block, but it is right EVERY time. I'm sorry to hear this has been such a hassle and I know it makes you want to give up. Raise HELL until the shop satisfies you and demand compensation for time and parts!! I wouldn't reuse any bearing thats was torqued in that block because they will no longer be "round" if they have been flexed by misalignment... Make the shop PAY! Beware of Brodix. You described your problem by phone. When they get the heads they may fix them and THEN nail you with an outrageous bill knowing you'll pay it to get those heads back. I hope they don't...but beware... Sorry I'm on the wrong coast or I'd hook you up!
  14. Yep I used to buy damaged long tubes of filler from a supplier. Sometimes they had dried out a bit so I would spoon out the dryish stuff and mix resin in it and use it for butcher work on used clunkers and such. Mix in bondo grater shavings and it makes good fill for rot box quarters and tailgates..LOL I also used to thin it with resin to use it instead of spot putty because the old puttys used to crack easier..
  15. Sounds like Grandma let the kid get her password...LOL
  16. Picky Picky.. I love redheads, but brunettes work too !!!!! so do blondes....LOL
