    I had to sell off a few cars to raise funds to buy my house. An 83 GMC C10, an 87 Chevy R10, and my 72 LeMans. My brother found the LeMans for me and I wish I still had it as he has since passed. My uncle had one and gave it to me, but unfortunately it's far too gone for me to do anything with. Pontiac 400 with a turbo 350.

    Sean I think you need to at least save that 400 engine and 350 trans before you let it go. Just make sure you have had a tetanus shot before you do that part. A good leaf blower will take off a few panels it looks like. If you swap it into the S10 you can call it a P10. Yes that would be to much work.

    I don't believe some folks on this forum know who DeJoy is or who appointed him to his position as head of the USPS. Look it up. The entire organization is headed for the dumpster due to the changes he has implemented. He certainly doesn't have a socialist agenda. Quite the opposite.

    This direction has been decided for a decade or three. Nothing new at all. 

    What I find funny is the hours they keep and they have been claiming they want more business. I am the last house on the left on a dead-end street. My drive is the turnaround for all of the delivery companies.  If the powers that be really wanted to stay in business they would have better hours. 

  3. The biggest problem with the post office is the management. They make a decision and are never held accountable. In their defense they are forced by elected officials to do stupid things. Now all that being said I do not understand how or why every letter I send with the same zip code as my house has to go to Detroit area (Allen Park I believe) to be sorted. Rarely have trouble with letters going over the state line to Toledo. Strangely Toledo's mail is also sorted in Detroit area. 

    Around here many of the rural delivery personal are not regular employees any longer, and they want you to supply the car. The best part is the management cannot figure out why their employees give a darn is busted.

    Arrival from Ebay does anyone remember Meng offering  a resin exterior accesories kit for the 2013 jeep they offered?,i didn't but this popped up,so i grabbed it,looks pretty decent.🤠

    I recall reading about this Jeep and someone was going to release this set at a later date.  Never seen it listed but didn't look for it much after the prices of the Jeep, didn't come down much.  Every pic of the Jeeps that I have seen done look great.

    My personal favorite TT song and performance of all time: 

     

    What a great song and one of my favorite duets.  Bryan Adams is very good live. He may have become known for his softer songs but he knows how to play live and like it.

    Ike put that poor lady through hell. RIP Tina.

    He sure did, what a shame.  What a talented couple they were.  I have heard recently she said she gave as good as she got, that always surprises me when they both like that.  

    Tina was such a talented person. She will be missed for sure. To tell the truth she has been missed in the music world for a while already.

  7. Lee if you have some clear sprue scrap you could cuck it up in a drill and sand it to shape.  you could use a nail file or sanding sticks to shape it how you want. you can polish it the same way you polish your paint.

    I didn't mean to make light of your problem with the hammer photo, but really...what does it tell you that you called dealerships and Ford and nobody had a clue?

     

    The same as walking into best buy and asking questions about a 5- to 7-year-old computer. Blank stares, maybe if that was last year's stuff, anything older we are not sure how it works.  Tech moves to fast to be in cars, but we have it anyway.

  9. Are you just looking for a prostock style chassis. I guess you need the whole kit, or did you just post this in wanted and not in the question and answer section?  Not trying to be a jerk just asking.

    I like this kit - I’ll be watching!

    I wish I’d seen kits at my local Walmart - NW Indiana here, right under the lake

    I looked all over the stores here sense November. Didn't see any until they were on clearance. Jim, go back and look in the sporting good section for whatever reason that is where one store put them. Check every clearance section they have. some stores have more than one isle.
