I was thinking, "Free of working on the danged thing anymore!"

Considering some of the stuff that can be had on the aftermarket today, that is mild!

I'm just happy that he checked that out before taking things apart, let alone going and dropping $180 on a new parts house (Bosch, via NAPA) Alternator. Now I can put that money to a new track bar for the front of it.......it has a bit of WanderLust right now too.

I'd be in for one, especially if they throw the newer B-Body floor pan and drive train under it, '70 Cornet style.

Well, last time I drove my Jeep, the voltage gauge had dropped to nothing on the drive home, so I just figured the alternator died. That would make sense, the truck is 18 y/o w/164k on it and rarely gets driven any more, after all. Talked to some friends that knew of a rebuild shop that gave me a great price on a rebuild of the factory piece and since I'm working next saturday, I'm thinking that the weekday off would be a perfect day to take it over for the rebuild, so Dad was going to pull it while I was working today so I could run over and have the work done on the week day I have off next week. What does Dad find, everything tied works perfectly fine............... He thinks that the pulleys had enough surface rust on them that when I hit the lights that night, the belt was slipping under load

That might be the primary age of the fan base, physically and/or mentally. That said, insane car!

Only way I can see to fix that is to cut it down and put it over a Viper chassis while ditching all the Batman nonsense.

Looks great, I gotta agree with Bill here too, not sure why, but I do dig their body kits!

To be honest, I'm digging the cantilevered top look it has going there!

I've talked to a few people in the safer areas of Florida, one guy is pretty sure abput half of the evacuees are now where he lives!

You know, it's a good thing I don't have the money or anyplace to park them, otherwise I'd do the same with XJ Cherokees, Turbo K-Cars, and maybe even Chrysler 200s and 2011 and newer Dodge Avengers.............

May have to try to use that hood vent trick on one of my AMT Snap General Lee kits, that looks like it's not too difficult.

Lol, I sent pics of it to a friend via text and the first response was "why has this taken so long"!

Those simplified chassis to make for a quicker easier build on the older kits, although the newer chassis or interior sets for the older kits would be nice, even if it's the interior only to bring the interiors up to the detail levels of Revell's Snap Kits.

Looks fantastic, is that the new snap kit?!

Anybody here ever go to it?

Dad and I went to the Dupage show today too. Picked up the Atlantic, 300c Custom, Astro Supremes, and the Jimmy Flinstone resin idol heads and Caddy Shack Gopher. Dad has decided to get back into the hobby and picked up the '41 Plymouth kit for himself! It'll be the first model Dad has built since I was 5...........and I just turned 40 last Friday...............

Well, Dad went with and ended up buying a 90's reissue of the AMT '41 Plymouth Coupe, he even bought that before I bought the Lindberg Chryer Atlantic and AMT/ERTL '57 300C Custom kits I found!

It's kind of a rubbery coating over the aluminum body, which is a bit thicker than a #2 handle, since it's kinda like a Maglight in construction.

Lol, who else hit up Hobby Lobby for one of these today then? Picked mine up with the 40% coupon this morning too!

Wow, that LED puts out a decent amount of light for a hobby knife

I know that feeling, I think the list of things my Cherokee still needs might be nearing how much I could sell it for if that stuff was still good.

Welp, now I can add alternator to the list of parts needed for my Jeep.............took it to the office today since the lot was being repaved and I don't like parking my 200 in the street unattended and somewhere in the 7 mile round trip, it gave up the ghost. I did finally swap out the dried out wiper blades on my lunch break though for the new ones I bought back in May.

Now that I always will have Sundays off, I will be there too!

PM me with what you find out, I'd have to use my Visa.
