    I put a hole in a perfectly good windshield last night. I dont have the channels for the glass right, so I will finish everything else, then rework the channels after the rest of it is done.

    I would have much rather cut a hole in a hood. I might just do that too.

          ^^ what's that go on? I was so hoping to hear from Discount tire today. I miss having a truck to put 295 45 18's on.

          got inebriated (sp) and turded up the forum. Now I'm off to the garage to see what I can jack up!

            Their going on my '99 Z28, funny thing is I was looking at 295/45/ZR18's but decided they would be to big and not look right... I saw a few pics of other people that had them and didn't like the way they looked on their cars...... The car has 255/40ZR17 in the front and 285/35ZR18 in the rear now, so I'm stepping up a size on both, but the 275/40ZR17 was factory stock for the SS Camaro's.... And speaking of Discount Tire, I got these from their wholesale division though my buddies shop..........

              Searched a junk/salvage yard for my prized bbo, found several sbos that may be the alternative. Run across a 500 Cad sitting in its birth place...too bad it won't easily fit my application.

              Anybody know where a guy can find some good ink/pixels on Cad motors?

              Found a few hydroboost donors, must review the ink on that before scooping.

                whats to know. Grab one and stab it in. I got one from an Astro van and it bolted right in my Impala.

                  I found two types, one pointed down and seemed to appear in the newer Astros. The type that sticks out straight was in the older Astros and had two reservoirs instead of a dual one. I planned on rereading your article before purchasing the stuff, I have to go back soon anyway. I found several examples of each and one in a 95-98 1ton with a cast reservoir that had all the hoses still attached. I want to get the hoses/hard lines and prop valve when I do grab the stuff.

                  It's mostly for a future motor swap.

                    Doesn't matter which way they are mounted. Mine is upside down to how it was in the Astro Van.

                        Well lets just say main water line for the complex 2, me 0........ Stupid old shut off valve blew its top and water was pouring out the meter box, city tells me it's my deal, so I saw cut the concrete, sledge hammer out the concrete and dig out around the valve, cut the old one out and replace it with a couple of unions and a piece of pipe, soldered it and it leaked(2" pipe), cut it all back out, replaced everything again and the stupid thing still has a couple of pin hole leaks.... JUST F*CK!!!!!!(ya a bit pissed right now) plumber will be here in the morning, thank god for friends!!!!..... Now it's time to chill, stress level is sky high!!!!......

                          My landlord unhappily had to replace the pipe from the building to the sewer under the middle of the street recently. Unfortunately every drain pipe in the building is clogged shut with rust and he's too cheap to fix them. Continuing to have them snaked with his head in the sand to the inevitable.

                            Where your yellow CY sticker is, the ones I'm talking about have a 30*+/- down angle. Right at the firewall it points down, hadn't seen that type before. I did see one or two like yours, which is what I plan on snagging.
