I've called TTI multiple times, they are the best.
No online orders, no cc, true.
Call, they take your order, walk you through everything, send you an email:
Riddle me this.
Early 1980s a friend's mom went to the local mom & pop dealership to buy a new car to replace a worn out one.
She was a nurse, needed a daily commuter and bought cars off the lot, never ordered one, drove them until worn out.
She came home with an Omni GLH, but it was very odd...
Get the IBM Buildcard: News from Stellantis Historical-IBM cards
The buildcard is more accurate than the buildsheet or fender tag, and can hold more data than the fender tag and buildsheet, although the buidlsheet has more codes specific to the buildsheet.
For example, the buildcard has the...
Last thing I'll add, as I found it interesting.
In the back of the rear seat, at the bottom, they added extra cotton between the springs and the burlap, sort of a lumbar support, 1st pic.
So, I recreated that when I upholstered it, 2nd pic.
While I'm here looking at pics I took, this is the back of the front bench.
Instead of foam around the edge, it is real cotton in what looks like a cotton netting material.
Original front bench in my '64 Fury, bottom.
Front and sides of the foam were actually molded, there is a slight edge on the top of the foam, as well as on the bottom that folds over the frame to the underside.
This was 1 piece of foam/cushion.
This is why I put the strip of felt around the...
Bare bench bottom seat frame as the example.
3" burlap from bottom front edge to rear edge, also across from bottom left to bottom right.
Hog ring on ends only.
Then I wrapped it in the full burlap.
Then I hog ringed a skinny piece of thickish felt around the upper edge, this keeps the edge of...
I've upholstered a number of seats, only because it was way too much $ to pay someone.
Get hog rings and pliers, they are inexpensive and worth every penny.
I went to a craft store, bought a 3" roll of burlap as well as larger burlap, iirc 3 feet wide.
The 3" roll was much stronger, and I...
Channels I like, I watch the ads.
Was at a friend's house watching something and an ad came on.
It went on for so long, more than 15 seconds, we were honestly confused, thought it was a different show all of a sudden.
Nope, just cable tv, with multiple commercials that last for minutes...
Yeah, YouTube isn't a gold mine, not going to make us rich.
For example, we got over 100k views in the last 28 days, but only 16k in public watch hours.
It's 'public watch hours' that matter, you need 4k, which is it's own calculation.
Our channel, CudaFry, is a father/daughter team.
We just try to have fun, make fun of each other, and work on old Mopars.
We have 4 times the view hours needed to earn from our YouTube videos but just over half the number of subscribers needed.
Here's the rub, YouTube is posting ads, have been...
I bought a Pioneer Bluetooth receiver, no cd, mounted at the bottom of the dash with some angle brackets.
Wrapped it in a black, breathable, material I had for hanging dryer vent.
Hardly noticeable, unobtrusive, and I kept the radio plate.
Used a marine antenna, nothing on fender.
Built...
Mom used to eat cheese & jelly samiches.
American or provolone, iirc, and grape jelly.
Sounds bad and good somehow.
Trying to convince the kid that we should give it a try in her honor.
I took a short trip this past weekend.
Partial back roads on they way there as I met up with a friend.
Country curves and hills are fun, especially with a 4 speed, makes the ride seem faster, keeps the rpms down.
Also, dips, trees, driving by lakes, gives you cool spots, temperature wise, to...
Clean the windows inside and out.
For the $, QA1 uca/lca/struts, Proforged ball joints/steering, PST manual box, rebuilt steering column.
Exponential improvement over completely rebuilt stock front suspension, same car.
Wish list, power windows.
I've had the pleasure of you helping me on many occasions, calling me out for being an idiot when I was being an idiot and when I wasn't.
I greatly appreciate the help, count on the kick in the rear when I'm stupid, and value the questioning when I'm on the right path.
Wait, did you just thank...
Send wrong part, new cable must be bad, must have been installed incorrectly, are you still calling us about this?
Wait, we only guarantee it worked when it was sent, that should put an end to this problem, and any future business.
Shady talk.
Start with no guarantee on used parts, that's...
