Benny, All of our thoughts and prayers go out for your wife's quick recovery.

Very well written Rob. Please start a new thread. With pictures, of course.

Wow!

I think I have one of those springs if you need it. The bracket looks very easy to make, then tap the hole for a stainless bolt or screw.

We can beat it with my old camshaft... One good hit? BAM!!! Maybe we could put key lime filling in it.

[quote=TOPCAT;......BEER BAD............ Incorrect. Leon Bee, I dig your truck. Do you still have it?

I thank you, sir.

Lurk rhymes with Jerk. I know at least 98% of you hope that my post-surgical 10 lb. lifting limit is lifted soon, so I can go talk to myself in the garage, while working on a car, instead of posting here. Believe me, I'm one of the 98%. you other 2% really need help.

THIS... ...AND THIS.

Nice! Always get the first jab in, Bob.

from : Buick Club National Dues You mean this? A guy comes on here and with his FIRST post (without even a "Hi guys, Love you, love the show. Long-time listener, first-time caller. Etc.) raises everybody's blood pressure again. I must say I believe that (by definition) is a troll. Paul. Picture please. Derek took the lead in pontification the last time all of this went down. I pretty much got this one. Who's up next? My cheeks are tired from the tongue that is so firmly implanted in there. Especially when: sent from my iPad

Dan, Please realize that nobody here is against the ROA or any other car club. The Original Poster is the one who made the comparison. The last thing we need is infighting amongst ourselves.:eek: This (key lime) pie is for the OP:

Much taller and it would rub when you took a sharp turn, like when you were parking. Even 7.60 series tires rub a little.

Who could miss it?

How about "portholes" that you see on Acuras now?

One more thought, You are asking the wrong people. Let's say there are 100 BCA Members who regularly post here on the forum. At a low estimate of 8,000 BCA Members in the club, that leaves 7900 people not participating in this (very easy to participate in) forum. Arguably a more helpful, more informative way to enjoy our mutual "love" of this hobby, and our beloved marque.

I met a fellow 1955 owner in Ames who had parts he was willing to "share" and when we were exchanging contact info, I asked his email address. He reeled off his street address. He didn't know what I was talking about. SERIOUSLY! There are still people who don't have computers in this club, maybe a relatively small percentage, but they do exist. I think it'd be a bummer to get rid of these non-computer users from the BCA, don't ya think? ...and yes, I consider myself relatively computer literate, but I want a hard copy, just in case the other TWO people in my household are taking up the iPhone, desktop computer, work computer, iPad, or old notebook computers laying around here and I can't find one to use. Sent from my iPhone.

I love it! C'mon down, Ben.

Does that mean you are saying that 30% of your chapter doesn't have email? If that same percentage holds true in the National club, over 2500 members would be left out of the loop. Doesn't seem fair to them to have to sit through a bi-monthly black and white Bugle while the rest of us get color photos jamming up our inboxes. Plus, does that mean Pete takes a pay cut, then leaves us for another magazine? He now has a hell of a resume. Did you recently purchase a Riviera? There is only a 1950 model 52 listed under your name in the register. We know that you also own a Pacer from other posts on the AACA website. Are you a member of the AMC Club, as well? What are their dues? I'm not trying to be argumentative, just trying to get all of the facts.

I think you gotta do whatcha gotta do, but then you have tested the thread on the sweater. Maybe just tugged a bit, but then you keep pulling and pulling and...

I believe that goes unspoken here

Haven't driven that stretch in a while, but it USED TO BE a decent rural-type road similar to Hotlanta to Athens. Of course I haven't been on THAT road in twenty years.

Dave, I believe the implication was a "keeping up with the Thrillers" rather than a personal issue.

Hey Lamar, Can you build two "ramps" that are as long as the trailer fenders out of a couple of 2X8's screwed together and mitered on either end? That'd get a bumper over. I doubt the tires themselves will be a problem.

Or the outermost portion of the bumpers that would be lower than trailer fenders...
