    Too expensive, or "that's the going rate these days"???

    This here is a great point!! Look, in terms of that "sucker for punishment" perspective, the approach to making car changes that I have taken has always been about improving the factory setups, as opposed to flat-out replacing with a different technology. Maybe that last part "different...

    Too expensive, or "that's the going rate these days"???

    Folks, I was able to find a pair of the FirmFeel rear spring mounts along with the shackles. These are in a somewhat rough shape (see attached pic), but sound enough that a quick trip to the sand blasting cabinet will bring them right back. The seller is asking $200 CAD, so at the current...

    Leaking windshield

    If you can not source the butyl stuff in a tube you could try to find actual butyl tape, which is literally a roll of specific diameter butyl material. This is how glass used to be sealed, not sure what model year (for our cars) that changed, but when I was redoing my coupe I had the choice of...

    I got fired today.

    Alright, let's sort through some things here! 1st - you, your 'second-half', and the soon to be here bundle of joy are your TOP priorities!!! (and you will do great at these so long as you keep that in mind) 2nd - the funding campaign should be about getting you a Labour Lawyer so that you can...

    Fall is in the air.

    Mark! Yeah, I managed to convince them to do so for ONE winter...and holy crap, it literally took some C-suite type to OK that because "...we normally never do this, cars have to be fully insured...", blah blah...never mind that the engine was completely OUT of the car...so freaking rigid!

    Fall is in the air.

    Mike! Keep me in the loop on your findings please, and here is why I say this: 1980 Diplomat Coupe, classified as 'Price $25,000 - Modified', so that means I have a guaranteed $25K payout if the vehicle becomes a write-off. 1) Liability Bodily Injury - $1M, $42 premium Property Damage - $1M...

    Good reminder...alas, I connected with Grundy way back when (before Hagerty)...at that time they were not doing any business in Canada, unfortunately that stayed the same...still US-only!

    408 W2 Stroker Build

    Duke5A! Yeah, I totally agree, but man I tell ya: 1) 16" air filter, drop base with 1.6" of space above the TQ vent tubes 2) secondaries open for sure, no way my impromptu run could got "12.anything" ET on the measly 1-3/8" primaries alone 3) my AFR is reading crazy rich 11.5 at WOT, so I...

    408 W2 Stroker Build

    Let's see, how do I explain this w/o feeling like a tool??? LOL So the leaking pump "thingie"...took the pump out, pulled it apart thinking that maybe the pump halves do not have the sealing surfaces machined flat (or enough so) that when you re-assemble them and all you have is that rubber...

    Last Site Upgrade - it sucks!

    Admin Man! Thanks for the response. Fair enough, of course the site is yours, but for what it's worth: tell me please which of the new features were necessary to close out/address gaps that the "new people" were complaining about? Here is the thing (I'm a 30 year veteran of ERP...

    Last Site Upgrade - it sucks!

    Yeah, 64-bit hardware, but that's not the problem. OS/2 is a 32-bit OS, there are some extensions to enable the use of PAE for things like RAMDISK, etc...but the process address space is 32-bit with specific OS/2 limitations. Our ancient Firefox is simply not capable of supporting the pages...

    Last Site Upgrade - it sucks!

    LOL...well, not quite that bad! So this is more of a web browser issue actually, not OS, but for the record I am running IBM's OS/2 4.52 SMP (which basically means it is the last release which ended support ohhh, some 10-15 yrs. ago I think???). The browser in question is Firefox 45.9.2, which...
