    Best damned Christmas present in a very, VERY long time !!!

    X2.........The current prices are a step in the right direction but $2.00 + gas prices are still way to high. The lower gas prices are infusing 375 million dollars per day into the US economy. For once the little man is reaping a benefit. Unless you are an oilfield worker or otherwise...

    [SOLD] 4 Speed shifter handle

    A-Body Console shifters came in 2 versions, Inland and Hurst. Both handles are very rare and fetch a tidy sum. I do believe Brewers Performance reproduces the Hurst type console shifter handle but they are a bit pricy also. Check their web site. Russ

    Trying to identify this.

    My 68 Barracuda has something like that. Can't remembers it's proper name but it has to do with the light ring that goes around the in dash ignition switch.

    where to find build date on a starter

    I looked all over that starter and can not find any cast in numbers or stampings. I'm guessing it is an aftermarket.

    Looks like I'm relocating to Western New York

    I reviewed NY Gun Laws (safe act) Since all my guns are considered sporting arms, there is virtually no difference in the laws between Pennsylvania (my current residence) and New York State. Now it is a different issue for handguns and/or those deemed to be assault weapons. Not a problem here...

    Anyone recently Apply for a Home Mortgage?

    Thank you for responding. PMI as I understand, applies if your down payment is less than 20% of the purchase price. We are trading equity from the sale of one home to another and the down payment is about 70% of the new homes price. With this amount down, I don't think PMI insurance applies...

    Anyone recently Apply for a Home Mortgage?

    If so, what kind of charges are being applied (closing costs) by the lender. I am applying through Wells Fargo and so far they will not provide an estimate of settlement charges. This makes me wonder. I'm concerned about getting blindsided after being deep into the game. Anyone who recently...

    I quit the restoration shop.

    Dave, You better look into the RR Retirement a bit more. First off, RR Retirement pensions are paid by the government through the US Treasury. Secondly there is no such thing as collecting an early pension through RR Retirement other than a disability which you need 20 years...
