TA In Progress

Unfortunately in Ohio, your employer doesn't have to pay you, but they do have to give you the time off work. I just went through all of this not too long ago.

I already bet him 10 dollars on this issue..........like you can talk though;)

Since aviation was deregulated in 1978, 165 airlines have either collapsed, merged, or are in Chapter 11. Between 1938 and 1978 (airline regulation) only six airlines MERGED with other airlines, service was good, and they actually made money. I would say your statement, while not entirely out of the question, isn't always the best idea.

It's very easy to say "fuck the auto companies", and "let them go out of business" when it's not your job on the line. People want to be mad at the people who fucked up the auto industry, forgetting that there are thousands and thousands of auto industry employees who had nothing to do with the fucking up of the auto industry (besides being overpaid, but seriously, nobody ever says, "I'm being paid too much, here's some back"). Imagine if you were at risk of losing your job because of missteps by upper management that were out of your control. I will be the first one to say that people should not make $80,000 a year to put bumpers on cars in a factory, but at the same time, if these companies just go away, imagine how many more jobs will be lost above and beyond those already gone. And the damage would extend farther than GM and Chrysler employees. They need to lose the unions (and shitty management) and pay their employees reasonable, not extravagant wages.

Welcome to CR, and nice Comet! It's always nice to see a fellow antique owner...

I have an 04 Impala SS for sale. 63K, supercharged, 4 doors, leather, 2nd owner, great shape. $9,500 OBO. I think it fits your criteria...

As usual, A+ for Derek (and usually Dave, when it's not his day off) at NTB. He took care of a friend of mine on very short notice. She got the car there well after 2 PM on a Saturday for 2 tires and they had it done before close (3 PM). Thanks again.

I had a GTP with the same issue. It had these plastic track/guide pieces on either side of the glass, and they just finally wore out, and the glass wouldn't stay in place. I checked with the dealer, and they said the only thing they could get was the whole moonroof assy. I ended up going to the junkyard and buying the whole assy and swapping it out. It only took about 2 hours start to finish. Basically just had to pull the headliner, and then it was like 4 or 6 bolts, unhook the drains and the electrical connecter and it was out.

It might take a little more than just washing to clean all of the dirt off that car... Seriously though, I can help you shine it up, I just did my Impala and it looks like new (and you saw what it looked like before). Also, the wheels looked good from what I could see the other day. And a triple at that.......

I have 20 saying that he'll get bored with it after a few months and sell it to get something else...

Wow, you should at least give him few weeks to get over it before you make fun of him........

Seems like a good deal to me, car looks super clean in the pics.

Derek and I just got done making Dave's 'stang into a convertible..........

Jim's Trim in Whitehall. They do awesome work. Recently they recovered the seat bottom in my K10 diesel truck and it matches the original top perfectly. They're prices are good as well.

We can either use the diesel or the S10 to bring it over.........

I'll give you a call this weekend, I can probably help out for a bit. Do you need my hoist to pull the engine?

Could be the tailshaft bushing, but usually when those are bad the seal will leak as well. If the vibration issue is gone now, I'd try some threadlocker on the bolts, and if they don't loosen up again I wouldn't worry too much about it. Who knows how many people have worked on the car over the years, or what has been done to it. Someone may not have tightened the tailshaft correctly and the bolts finally worked loose.

They make a sanding pen that is basically a bunch of glass fibers grouped tightly together like a really stiff brush. They work pretty good, as long as it is light rust, no serious pits or anything. I have used it with good results for rock chips, etc. Try this..... http://www.newmantools.com/preppen.htm

Go see Dave and Derek at NTB Downtown.

What, you don't think people should make $85,000 a year to install bumper covers and stick knobs on radios?

I remember Suzi and also remember Donatos being a sponsor.

I read something about other aircraft reporting icing conditions around the time of the crash. Icing conditions + turboprop aircraft = bad news.........

Too late, I see you found them too...

HELP pn# 38438...Advance has them.

No, it will just run like ass and probably smoke. There are also plastic fuel lines inside the intake that connect the CPI injector assy. to the fuel inlet fitting. In addition to the CPI injector, these plastic lines are fairly prone to failure as well (I can tell you from personal experience), and the dealer sells a repair kit for this. Good engine other than these issues, both of which are really easy (just not cheap) to fix.
