[What's your opinion on this re-chromed bumper?]

1 hour ago, Blake350 said:

me too! i thought that was the  front...  and it was like when Dennis  was selling that "rust free" body shell...if it was dormant stock and not going to a customer  i guess its ok ,but in the interest of good workmanship and attention to detail  i would wonder why the back would have been left so rough if it had been just dropped off for rechrome... but then again the only thing chrome is my "chrome dome" so maybe the back surface is not their concern?   

Brian, I still have that body. I didn’t get any takers. I can’t imagine why. lol. 😂

Welcome to the club and forums, Dennis! Hope you find all the help and support you need here to finish your '70 project.

Just to clarify, there are possibly several other members named Dennis here (myself included) so we may need to use member ids in place of first names to keep things straight.  I've been an active participant on the forums for the past 15 years and have never used a dancing banana emoji so that may be an identity clue for you. 😉

I’ve never used one either. But I’ve had a few sent my way.

I’ve never seen that.  School me. I need more pictures. Where exactly does it go.

I can not find anything that says they are only compatible with HEI type ignitions.  Anyway, I now have the plugs I wanted from the get-go, now to find a chance to install them.

Third times a charm. 😝

Dennis,

Thanks for posting the pictures.  As I said in our email exchanges, you need to hook up with some of our members down your way and bring her to Carlisle for our Eastern Meet.  You were concerned about your car not being a show car... We don't care if it is a show car, it is a go car.  Besides, it is not all about the cars, it is about the people you will meet and the in person tips you could get from our members in attendance.  

Dennis, be careful of that other Dennis down your way.  I am by no means saying the other Dennis is trouble, just be careful, he tends to leave a trail of banana peels behind.

rob

I second what Rob said about that other Dennis. He a real pain in the ….

When does production start on orders for Smurf Custom Hood Scoops ? 🤣

You can call it a SmurFhoodie.

1). No issue. Available 

2).  Same as 1

3).  Check your other key also. And yes they can be re- tumbled. 
4). steering wheels are available used or repop. 
5). check to make sure the orange wire is plugged into the fuse box. Check fuse while you’re there. Corrosion in the box can also cause that. Could be a circuit issue, check the tabs on the back of the sockets to make sure that they are connecting to the circuit. 

6).  Pull the dash pad and start checking bulbs. Not fun but doable. 
I think it was probably more the quality of the phone than the operator.

Welcome to the members group. We do appreciate you helping the group. I have learned that the dues are a very small pittance for what we can possibly give in return. The information, as you know, is endless. Good luck on your future projects on your car. We are always around to help you out with any questions you may have. Thank you from just north in Cincinnati.

Dennis has really made them banana customs popular or is it the club itself 🤔 

If someone from central New York would stop bringing it up it would not be so popular. Hmmm. It’s getting kinda trendy though. I wonder if I get a cut of the dough from the sales???  Imma need to have a chat with someone. 

[Dennis at Final 4?]

Not me. But I will be in Denver over Memorial Day weekend. lol. Better late then….  Whatever. You guys …. 😝😝😝

I just have one thing to say. “Ugh”. ☹️

No you didn't win. Final 4 is just the biggest weekend of college basketball of the season that's all. It gets a little crazy it's in  Arizona this year, womans final 4 is in Cleveland this year. I didn't get in any pools this year I used to do 2 or 3 every year when I was working but not any more. Won a few times but mostly lost.

 No local teams in it this year. The closest was Kentucky which got ousted in the first round. Had two teams In the losers round ( NIT) one out in the first round the other out in the third. That’s when I “ peeled “ out. See I pay attention.

Stopped by the body shop Thursday and he said that I would get it back today, I’ll stop by Monday or Tuesday and hear his latest promise, so there is no rush

At least you’re now at days instead of dates. That’s promising.

Very nice looking car. Thanks for the pictures.

Dennis, want to sell one of those dashboards?

I will but I don’t know if they will help you. Send pictures of what you have and I’ll see if I have anything better. Thanks

What you don't have 10 in stock Dennis???  lol

I do.  lol. ( not 10 but 6). I would only use one of them. It seems we all used to get carried away cutting holes for radios. But they can be repaired with a little work. If it’s done decently the faceplate should hide the repair. 

[Dashboard replacement]

A lot of dash’s on marketplace. My brother just found that was perfect for 100 bucks. He missed the sale on it, but they are out there. 

[Dashboard replacement]

I’ve never used these but I do believe someone sells the radio hole repair cups. The brace in back holds a lot of the weight.

Dennis, that is the same tire brand I have.  My only complaint is how well they handle at higher speeds on a highway with a lot of curves.  She feels like they want to break free as I wind through those bends.

rob

Thanks for the info. I’ll get it out and try them. I think I’ll probably have other issues so I don’t expect to hit them high speeds.
