  1. Sweet!!!!!
  2. Great work guys!!!!!!
  3. I hear ya, main reason I don't work there anymore let alone shop there anymore.
  4. Sounds good, I've had good results with Tamiya and Testors in both reds. Recently I painted one with Gaurds Red from Farm and Fleet, came close but not spot on. I thought that as the years went on the colors changed somewhat... Thanks for the info....
  5. I'm looking at building a few cars of Ferrari and was wondering if the Rosso Corso red remained the same on all Ferrari's from the early 60's to today? If not what would be a good off the shelf red that comes the closest to the Rosso Corso? Thanks in advance for any and all help you can give......
  6. I worked at Autozone for about two years, you wouldn't beleive how many altenators we got back because they were put together wrong....
  7. Looks kool X's 2!!!!! Wacca wacca wacca
  8. Likewise not trying to be an S.O.B. but it went to a Mits dealer twice as well as a local shop in my area. No one knew what was happening, no codes thrown. Nothing but the headaches of how it was running. I've been a mechanic for 30 plus years, I've been under the hood a few times and when it stumped me I went to the dealer, when it stumped them I gave up. They told me one time that it was transmission realated to change the fluid and filter and put in a Mits additive to the trans fluid...... Ahh yeah!!!! Trust me it wouldn't of gotten over a thousand dollars if I didn't have a persistant wife saying it can be fixed, it can be fixed.. I would of scraped it along time before all of the mess it created. In the end it was a blown out capacitor in the computer that was leaking fluid, in the end it leaked out ran down the pc board and ran itno the capacitor that runs the fuel pump. Tests ran at dealership didn't bring the info up that would indicate a computer problem at that time.
  9. Computer could be part of it. I had a 92 Mits Galant that when colder air or foggy weather the car would run rough and quit. It'd take ten minutes of cranking to get it to re start only to get up to 20 mph to have it stall again. It's made my hour and twenty minute ride up to three hours to get home. Trust me I was glad to see it go when it did. Anyway, what I had found out the first time when I was trucking down the highway at 70 it dies at speed. So trying to decifer the problem and going through replaced timing belt and pulled the head to inspect the valves. I put it back together and it never ran right again. I replaced the compuer with a 500.00 rebuilt one and it still ran like BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH. I'd get going and it would quit. so I started to go through everything. Ignition module, distributer, coil, plugs, wires, throttle position sensor, idle speed sensor, throttle body, mass air flow sensor and nothing. Finally I was done with it, it got parked and sat all winter. Finally in the spring one last hoorah I posted for help on Craigslist looking for a used computer just so I could troubleshoot it and see and a guy an hour North of me came back saying he had one. He drove down, we plugged it in and after 3000.00 dollars worth of work and labor it came down to an ill rebuilt computer which by then was to late to send back. So I sent it to someone my friend knew and 25.00 later the car was running like a top. Only to have the frame rust out the following year...... Oh well. Check the computer on it and see if that may be the problem... Good luck!!!
  10. That is a thing of beauty, love it!!!!!
  11. Yer welcome
  12. Dang Ken, pretty good stuff there!!!
  13. Sorry on but I agree with Casey on this one. When I look into the trade section and see something I have that someone is looking for. I tend to shy away when I see they are from Canada just because I don't want the high shipping costs. Like Casey also said the forum would get cluttered up big time if everyone from another locale in this world wanted the same. I don't want to step on toes, I just wanted to voice my two cents, I'll step down now.....
  14. Very kool Ken...
