Chuck, I was thinking of just that movie skit when I wrote my comment. That was one hilarious movie!!! Gene Wilder and the sheep were the highlight... Or was it the giant boobie roaming the countryside? Or Woody Allen as a sperm... Or... :mrgreen:

That pic ruins any chance at being a Supreme Court justice, but would make him eligible for being a US Senator.....

Both Woody and Mel were my go-to Movie Makers during my formative years. Is still laugh at their movies.


As far as running for office, I'd never pass the background checks for anything higher than dog-catcher. Maybe not even that.

So I ordered and received a universal wiring harness for the car. The steering wheel/column I have is a Chevy clone. I down loaded the wiring schematic for the column and the hair stood up on my neck when I read the lettering.

Holy Shite!!! That is entirely too weird!!! :shock:

No, wait a minute here Perry... You started smokin' something rolled and gold and wonderful (per Shel Silverstein) since you been out there in Cannabis-fornia??? Firstly- You ain't got no hair nowhere on that big ol' chrome dome of yours... And Secondly- Google shows "JK LMNP" on a GM column wiring diagram. I think maybe you altered the lettering on that diagram. Still funny as hell!!! Had me goin' for a second there... :rofl:

That also means Lonnie can relax...

No repenting necessary... :mrgreen: Yeah, it's a big relief to me too. :mrgreen:

I was guessing that his continued presence here meant that the fling w/ the sheep / goat was over?

Well after a 243 day hiatus from this build I committed fabrication yesterday.
Made a throttle cable from scratch. Also fabbed up a gas pedal and mounted it.

Made it out to the shop today. Removed glass and hardware from both doors and sanded the outside of them.
Made up mounts for the rad. Test fit top rad hose. Made up lower rad hose.

Nice, Perry. I wonder why I didn't notice those unusual door handles before? Kind of a cool looking recess for them.

Cheers,
