I'd use a GTS because I always wanted a GTS. "Clone" is the wrong term for what I'd like to build, though. It would be a GTS with a 426 swap. What's your definition of "cheap"? Just a quick search returned nothing I consider cheap...

LOL! True. If I could find a decent '68 GTS for a good price, I would sell my '70 in a heartbeat and build a clone out of it.

Agree 100% I would kill to get my hands on a '68 Hemi Dart survivor.

When I saw my orthopedic doc, he basically said the same thing: "Wait until you can't take it anymore because a fusion is a major undertaking, and it will have an effect on the discs above the joint."

Have they talked to you about a spinal stimulator implant? My orthopedic doctor doesn't want to do a fusion yet because of the same basic reasons, and I have been looking into it. The only thing I don't like about the idea is that they have to go back into your back once every 5 years or so to...

Hmmm...that's something to consider, for sure! I may talk to my doc about it next time I see him.

I'm glad they did it too. I've always gotten more relief for mild pain from ibuprofen anyway.

We're saying the exact same thing. If you use them as they're intended to be used, and don't abuse them, they aren't as harmful as they're made out to be. They're not good for you by any means. My doctor has me get blood work done a few times per year, and the primary reason is LFT's. You...

Totally agree with the part about Vicodin/opioid painkillers. If they're used properly, they don't present any more "danger" than anything else does. It's the abuse potential, and people taking them to get high instead of their intended use that gives them a bad name.

Thanks, TMM.

I've also got DDD in my lumbar spine. I had a lumbar laminectomy in 2007 to repair a herniated disc, and it has now herniated again in the same spot along with the L4-L5, and L5-S1 joints collapsing. I am having an MRI on Thursday, and I am going to speak with a neurosurgeon at the end of the...

Come down to the Detroit area, and I'll take you to a different spot every night of the week to go cruising! LOL!

Like the others here, I'm suspicious of the $210 you sent them as a "deposit", but you received a new radiator in return for it, so "technically" you bought another radiator from a dealer and haven't gotten a refund yet. But, they said they would send a radiator if you sent $210, and they did...

LOL! Nice!

I'm not pissed off. I pointed out that I see someone going on the internet and whining about a company who did exactly what they said they would do. You realize it was a whole 2 days after you say you called, right? And also that most companies don't work weekends, right? And also that you may...

So, they did what they said they would do, but you haven't heard from them for a few days and you're pissed off? They have a good reputation. Call them and talk to someone before you go posting bullshit rants over nothing.

LOL!!! I had someone ask me if my Dart was a Newport. :banghead:

One of the funniest ones I had went like this: "Hey, man! What's that car got in it? Sounds like a big block!" "Nah, it's 318 stroker motor. 390 cubic inches." "No way, man. You can't bullshit me. That's a big block. I know a big block when I hear one."

The most annoying thing people do to me when I have my Dart out is lie to me about what they had. "What's that thing got in it? A HEMI?" "No, it's a small block car." "Yeah, I used to have a 440 HEMI 6 pack Dart just like yours! It ran 9's from the factory too!" :violent1:

I've been using a CharGriller with a side smoke box for a couple of years now. The price was right, and I love the results from it.

Oh man, I couldn't agree more! We had some parents who were insistent that their kids should just be handed the honor of being an Eagle Scout. They didn't get the fact that it takes hard work, and commitment, along with good leadership skills to make it that far.

Generally speaking, the general public is a bunch of morons.

Very cool, Jefflock!

Wow...just wow, Inkjunkie. I wouldn't have been able to keep my cool with a guy like that at all.

It's great that you're still involved! I think the Boy Scouts is a great organization to have young men involved with. It teaches invaluable lessons and skills.

I stayed on as an assistant scoutmaster until I was 20, and left the troop with the scoutmaster who was with me the entire time I was there. It unfortunately turned into a babysitting service, and parents refused to be involved with the troop, yet they expected the world of us.

Lol!

Well said, Frankie! I'm having some issues with getting a set of wheels from Centerline right now, and there has been yet another delay as of a few days ago. The person I talked to blamed the shop guys (indirectly) for the confusion and delay. If he had just come out and said "Hey, Ron, I F-ed...

It's definitely not, Rani. At my previous company, I used to build and program assembly line machines for the auto companies, and that side of things is an absolute nightmare as well. I had to deal with "The machine is programmed wrong" calls every time something hiccuped, and 99% of the time...
