Goodbye old girl. Its been nice the last 25 years. It's time to get out and stretch your legs and cease being a garage queen. I am quite sure that you are going to a good new home.

Sorry to read of the sale but I am sure you have good reasons. Don't go away with your expert advice on steering mechanisms!

I agree Jim, you are one of the very best and certainly most knowledgeable on the site. There aren't very many of you left. I hope you stay and replace the Vette with something even better.

That's a bummer, Jim. I hope you stick around here and continue to contribute. You have helped many (including myself) quite a lot and I appreciate it.

Thanks for the compliments. I plan on staying around. Too many Saginaw Steering Gear components that can use some helpful information on keeping them working properly after all these years.
Take good care of her, Gary.

It is hard to find anyone who really knows C3 steering.
