Hi Ters!
Yes, I seem to remember you have different names on the cars. So that "Duster" is a Charger in SA?

So the answer to my question how much is a butt load.. a butt load is about 100 gallons. so a butt load of beer = a good thing
Well, Mike, I wouldn't want to underestimate the amount of hardship that goes into changing over. It would take at least two generations.

I remember touching on it in grade school (and maybe even before that) - over 4 decades ago - still not using though.. I'll be dead and buried before this country goes there - if it ever does..

Well I better go get breakfast going... Taking my wife to Niagara falls today for a sleep over at the Marriot
I was at the Buick dealer back in 78 when GM switched. The fastener head sizes weren't a issue. 1/2'' changed to 13mm, 3/4" changed to 19mm and the like. The thread sizes and the strange thread pitches were the hardest to grasp. It took many years for them to phase out and redesign parts to metric.

the worst part for me has been having to buy the tools - I was fine working on old iron - had a nice assortment of standard size stuff - then I bought an 87 Firebird... WTF!! - I need a what size this and that... :banghead:
That's where the toolman comes in! I got in the tool business 10 years later. I should have started 10 years sooner! lol
Well, then I'm exactly where you were then. =) I've bought a whole lot of tools already but I'm nowhere near the collection I have in metric.
The worst part is really that none of my stash of old crap is any good and it is nearly impossible to find the random fasteners you end up needing every time you go down to the garage ...
I bet!
Do you sell german tools or US made metric? The Wera and Wiha stuff is awesome. Well, the Swedish Bahco isn't too bad either.

you shouldn't need a whole lot really - a lot of metric converts and fits on standard stuff... it just doesn't work quiet as well going the other way..

Mopar infected...
Appreciate the kind words!
Hi Anders! Yes sir, known as a Valiant Charger. /6's only in SA....
Nice and warm yes. Unfortunately(?) we do not get snow ever in the province (State) we stay in.
Ters.
It looks really nice in the pictures, Ters. That blacked-out front reminds me of a 1:st gen Camaro, one of the best looking noses I know.
Us made for the most part although we have some tools made by Stahlwille, Knipex, and a few others.
That flu any better?
Is Bonney, Utica or Thorsen still in business ?
Good day all!
Way past coffee time here:banghead:. Had a mini car show at church this morning. Took the Monaco out as she is closest to show worthy. Back home, bled Chargers brakes, took her for a run. /6's have got power hey! First descent drive I could take with the old girl...have brakes now!
Need to double check timing and adjust Carter carb some more, but overall very pleased with results.
Ters.
Yes Ters, great looking cars. Your neighborhood looks like suburbia here in the states.
