    ICs love metal roofs IF you sign the cosmetic damage waiver. They will promise you "lower insurance premiums" which may equal about $20 / year.  Then, when a hail storm hits your metal roof and dents it up you will want a new roof but the IC will say "cosmetic damage" is not a covered peril and the roof is not leaking so you,  Mr. Policy Holder, can pound sand and now you're  stuck with a dented roof unless you want to pay for a new one on your own dime(s).

    Get a good Public Adjuster who has experience in this argument & you'll win every time.

    Cracks in the clearcoat of a Galvalume (or painted... Kynar or STMP) roof = well more than simply "cosmetic".

    I used to own a C-10 just like that one, but without the fancy paint job and seat cover (not talking upholstery).

    Username checks out for this thread.

    Pretty town VMI, W&L university, mountains.

    I'm in Richmond

    I have a friend (connection through my Dad) is from Lex; his son (obv. also from Lex) is po-leece with Richmond.  Here's a pic he posted the other day 5 minutes before taking a 3 day weekend.  You might know the area, I don't.

    My first vehicle was a white ‘79 K5 with a built 400 and 35’s. I stayed either in trouble or in the shop through high school with it. It would fly but I was constantly busting u-joints and rear ends. My dad had a matching black ‘85.

     

    Ladder bars.  Did anyone introduce you to ladder bars?

    ROFL BOX - I sympathize about shoddy work, and short cuts taken by builders and contractors, after doing a fair amount of remodeling.  What always amazes me is the shortcuts are almost always ones, that either 5 minutes, or a few hundred dollars could have made a huge difference in quality.  The one thing I HATE about my house is that they did a double pitch roof, with another small low pitch between the large pitches to accommodate the space needed for the Air conditioning Plenum.  Had they simply spend a few hundred more I could have had a huge tall attic space with plenty of room to replace the plenum.  Plus it would not have cost any more to roof as the surface area would have been the same.  Now it would be a $5K fix.

    Blame @Longhorn_Fan68 - he's an architect, so all derision for shittacular design due to "artist!" goes his way.  Srsly, though, while not him I see a shitload of things that...

    1.  The architect shouldn't have built in.
    2.  The GC should have asked questions about.
    3.  The production manager (if in a tract pre-planned / subdivision) should have spotted.
    3a.  In most cases, whether carpentry or roofing, a Texas based sub-crew will be interested in getting shit done, not saying "Hey, this needs ____ & we will come back in 1 week when you have the right parts", assuming they even know English.

    Look up the term "Dead Valley on roof" & you'll understand what I mean.

    Got the wife a new vehicle recently.  Her old one was 8 years old and 100,000 miles.  She managed for 8 years not to lose the gate opener or the garage door opener.  Lost both the first week in new vehicle.

    We all blame you for not programing the remotes into the built-in features for the new vehicle.

    good looking mustang, though I would have gone black on the red trim, but that's just me.  There is a guy that looks sort of like an old ex skater that has a very similar Mach 1 that frequents Gloria's int he Domain.

    I am not even remotely well versed in Mustangs to know what is concourse or factory for these, so I can't discuss or debate that idea.

    I only know 2 things: 

    1.  I'd sure as hell like to get my Stepmother's '64½ (with the 170 hp I-6, unfortunately) in either Guardsman or Skylight Blue... that she has owned since brand new
    2.  I wouldn't mind having a hopped up version of the pic posted below - not really a fan of the Fastbacks as much as the early Coupes.
