  1. Last quote was 175 each. No clue why overiders were 75 each and hubcaps 2x that. Gonna go with aftermarket here. We are not talking fancy - 9 inch and round
  2. That was one of McRaven's opening remarks. he said he had no idea who spoke at his so something like "if you can't be memorable be brief". Of course he was memorable.
  3. My bumpers and overiders were about 600 each which is OK. Just got another quote and everyone wants 150 each for dog dish half moon hubcaps. My top amount is 100 and that is almost 3x aftermarket. I am not doing a show car so I guess aftermarket is it
  4. Could we get a few more details on this?
  5. has anyone rechromed hubcaps? I can buy knock off of the dog dish caps for 35 bucks but the rechromers want 150 per cap. I know the 35 bucks ones are probably crap but 600 bucks ain't cheap either
  6. That's the problem. British used cellulose paint in 60's and single stage. No one sells it anymore and it probably had lead in it. So you are about 2-3 degrees of freedom from the original. Best hope is to match the original in an odd place - like the back of the dash etc.
  7. Man choosing paint is not easy. I know what I want - the same as we used in the 80's. Unfortunately you can't buy that anymore. After 2 years up north being worked on mechanically it is getting close to paint time. In the early 80's we matched the original paint and got PPG paint in the color below. Unfortunately that is not longer sold. The interwebs are full of stories of matching MGA Iris Blue and it seems like maybe/possibly the 1979 VW Florida Blue is it. Getting samples sent to me. Really wish Dad had left an old can around somewhere to make it easier know
  8. We got Taco Mama and if you try to take that - Civil War starts again.
  9. Well I am just glad you are discussing things south of the Tennessee River
  10. James was proof that heart mattered. He was told his entire life that he was "too small". Dude flat out could play. I think he played 5 years in NFL and at one point had the NFL single season record for total yardage. And it stood for a long time. RIP - you were a player.
  11. Had the same thought. Phrasing shows up again
  12. Look at estate sales. Lots of encyclopedia's show up there
  13. Fred definitely came in 4th place in that group
  14. Sure does And for those who remember it from a few years ago - still haven't got the trigger fixed yet
  15. I have a cheap Maratec on my Sub. It is essentially a NATO without all the extra stuff
  16. I have programmed a second fob for three different cars. Yep - it's a racket with dealers. For the cars I found, that if you have at least one working remote, you can do it. Instruction for both cars were on the web. It definitely involved a lot of goofy crap (turn key three times, lock/unlock doors three times etc) to get into programming mode. In the end the on line instruction saved a bunch
  17. Probably starting a flame war but does anyone use the chronograph function on Daytonas or other chronos? Every vendor seems to have a model but wondering if anyone uses it. On the other hand I haven't used the rotating bezel on my Sub very much either
  18. They said the opposite to me. Mine will auto renew at list price so I get to call next year. I am just glad to get 12 months and both cars on same bill. used to have to call every six months for 2 cars = 4 calls per year
  19. Just renewed this week. 2 cars with platinum for about 225 for both for one year
  20. Can you play thru your own foursome?
  21. I think we need a side thread on how to cheat at golf
  22. On my Sub it was time when it totally stopped running.
  23. Th judges would have accepted vaseline also. Players used it for years to cut down the spin and make the ball avoid hooks or slices

    RIP Meat Loaf
