  1. There used to be on in Danville. The guy's name was Slim. I used to buy parts from him the past, but I havent been there in years.
  2. I use Hagerty, there is no milerage restrictions. Your Forumla might be too new though.
  3. Nice car for a nice price, but I agee the wing has to go.
  4. Congratulations, that was interesting way to do such. I wish you and your new wife to be the best and I am looking forward to meeting you and the Z06 in the future. My wife and I have been married for twelve years and have two children and she was one of the best decisions I made:)
  5. Vinny, OT, your dad's vette looks good in your signature, is it close to being done and Merry X-mas.
  6. The Volvo 850's are a great car. We bought our 97 850 new at Byers and still love it. Currently, it has over 106k on the clock and runs great. The key is routinue maintenance and they should last to 300K before any major engine work. There are not too many shops that know Volvos, you have Byers or Segna and recently I found out about European Auto Works(Grandview). European Auto Works only works on Volvo's and their shop rate is much cheaper than Byers/Segna.
  7. TTT for one hell of a nice car... Brian are you transferring with work or starting a new opportunity?
  8. Brian, I cant believe you are selling the stang. Good luck with sale...
  9. I would only buy a salvage title car if it was cheap and not repaired. I would repair it myself, so I know what the damage was. I agree with NOS50, I would never buy a flood vehicle.

    Anarchy in the UK

    Sounds like an excellent trip. I have never been overseas, but will in the future once the kids are older.
  11. Evan was correct, powercoating is a tough finish. We have a professional sandblasting operation and do wheels frames, etc. Evan's wheels were originally powercoated(we didnt know that at first) and had 3 to 4 additional layers of paint on them. This was the first time we tried to blast anything that was powercoated. The 3-4 layers of paint was easy to remove. The last layer was powercoated and it was tough to remove because of the powercoated surface. The next time we blast anything that is powercoated, I have some additional steps that we will do. If your wheels were powercoated, you will have a hard time removing this surface in your garage sandblasting outfit.
  12. I have a couple of friends that have 2-3 car haulers(enclosed). They usually charge $1.50 per mile per a car. If you are still interested I give them a call.
  13. Zack, where are you working on the car? I would trim the header a little more.
  14. The transmissions are expensive to rebuild.
  15. You have a 4 wheel drive truck with a lift kit. You should of got the ticket, but you were lucky. High speed with a 4 wheel drive truck that also has a lift kit is not a good idea.
  16. I was in an accident this past May. Some 21 year old kid ran into me at Polaris and Worthington road while I was stopped at the light. Long story short, the guy's insurance company(Progressive) fixed my wifes car. They wanted to total it, but I told them that wasnt an option, so it got fixed, the final bill was over $6500 and I missed a total of 2 days of work. The claim adjuster was good to work with, since their client was at fault. They ended up paying my medical pain suffering that totaled two days of pay from work plus my co-pays. I could of sued or whatever, since my wife is an attorney but I didnt want to add to the high cost of insurance we all pay.

    Who am I?

    Tilley, I watched the video and all I can say is that is one bad a$$ Z06.
  18. Didnt someone just buy it last year and the new owner is selling it. I like the track but I wonder what the deal is. The new owner paid too much or is in over his head.
  19. My wife and I have no points and we are over 25. I pay around $1200 a year for my 97 Z71 pickup, 97 Volvo, 87 Corvette, 92 5.0 Mustang through Traveler's. All vehicles have full coverage. The other vette and cars are through Hagerty which run $200 annually. You are in a tough position, having points on your license, under 25 and not being married.
  20. I would get a torch to heat it up or use PB Blaster with a channel locks or just cut it off with a cut off wheel.
  21. Did anyone buy anything? I think I am going this morning.
