I would have lit them up but I think he chose better judgment. It was a downtown street around noon or so. Lots of people to get hurt in an accident and possible law enforcement lurking.

A friend was coaxed into a burnout in front of our mall last week. Got himself a good driving award. ( wreckless driving ) Im sure his insurance company will love that.

I broke one of my left handed screw drivers last night while flushing and filling the blinker fluid. Can you get lefties at Harbor Freight?

If your really board you could get on CF payroll and start more fake junior member questions. Now whoever is doing it is putting in fake "Member Since:" dates.I realize they are trying to get away from threads starting like this one but couldnt they come up with questions that are not constructed so perfectly?

Only after completely purging all the smoke from the wiring can this be attempted. You did think to save it, didn't you? Whether you did or not, you're going to need Bubba's assistance before proceding.

I was thinking of replacing my interior with burnt orange **** carpets, bright green dingle ***** and lavender velour seats and dash pad. What do you think?

Save the wire after you replace the smoke. You can sell it on Ebay. BIN price of $1,999.00.

I Got To Jacking Around With The Rear Window On My '77...i Have Been Able To Make It Into A Removable Window...so Far I Have Spent About $ 10.00 On R.t.v. Sealant And A Foam Weather Strip....now, That I Know That It Is Possible ...it Is Time To Refine The Application... I Have To Say, It Sure Is Nice To Drive Out On The Open Road, With "all" The Windows Down.

P.s. For Some Of You Fellows Out Here In The Forum...i Do Not "care" If You Think It Is A Bad Idea.

I'm curious how you latch the glass in. If you're using the pop out window from the earlier cars then all you need is the latches and rubber seal and that's only a few bucks from most vendors.

The window and latches are the expensive part, so bypassing them too would mean some sort of alternative latching mechanism.

I am installing the removable in my '77 as well but I'm using original hardware.
