So Jamie sends me a pic of a new car for the wife, of course a really decent shoebox Nomad. Now he has to have it shipped from CA so that will add to the cost, but the pics look like a solid car.

I know there was a local vendor willing to make die-cut window decals for us. I need to get an estimate on some of these kinds of decals for a work project. Can someone let me know who the local vendor was who had the capability to make die-cut inside-the-window (reversed) participant decals? Thanks!

I got an old Harrison 4 row radiator for a 66-67 chevelle. When I got it there was a split in the lower outlet. I had a shop in Rochester repair it. Needless to say they messed up.

Steven, I started a new thread for the topic on your mileage here. You might also check something that seems obvious but I think I figured it out on mine this week.

Having lost a key and remote for over 6 months, it looks like I will have to buy a new replacement key at a minimum. I can order one cut from GM for around $90; but looking for a less costly alternative. It's a new style of key that has to be side cut. Looks like you can get a key for around $25 on ebay delivere...
