The way it was explained to me, a tax deduction reduces your taxable income. The actual value you receive is the amount of deduction times your tax rate. If you're actual tax rate is 25% and you take a $1,000.00 deduction, you're 'seeing' $250.00. In other words, you're saving the amount of tax that you'd have to pay on $1,000.00 of income. What if you sold the car to someone for half of its value ($500.00)? You're seeing double the cash value of a charitable contribution and the buyer gets a real bargain. If money outweighs the 'feel-good' of donating the car, you should sell it.

I agree with the others....paint the whole fender...the repaired area will be less conspicuous that way.

Original Mopar 812 7-button radio (the 'better' model for those years). Dirty from storage, has very small chip in faceplate at upper left corner, and blemish on dial glass near button #3. Missing some tubes. For parts or restoration. $59.00 + shipping

Maybe the paint they used was not the one they said they'd use. Many body shops sublet the actual painting to Maaco and have no control of the products that are used.

I don't recall seeing it mentioned here, but one thing I've learned is to have a thin rag or cloth glove between your hand and the workpiece when feeling for imperfections in the repaired surface.

The last time I was in Tractor Supply they carried gloss equipment paint in quarts and gallons. Might be worth a look.

If you can find a death certificate for Jack Wilson it might show a next-of-kin you can contact. Check with the county clerk.

The radiators were manufactured by the same Fedders company that made air conditioners. Makes sense because air conditioner coils are very similar to a car radiators. Fedders is now known as Fedders USA, located in Basking Ridge, NJ. You may still be able to get some application info if you contact them. Their number is: 908-502-5418

Cash for Clunkers II - Here we go again...
Harold replied to f.f.jones's topic in General Discussion
As I recall, the earlier edition of C4C originated in California and then spread to the rest of the country. I suspect this new program will do the same. I believe it's very sad that these lower-end used cars won't be available to people that can't afford better ones. I saw some great vehicles get scrapped on the last go-round. -
Good used condition. Has small tear in rear cover. $15.00 postpaid in the lower 48 states. PayPal is OK.

Do you still have the original ignition switch and is it complete with the lock cylinder? If so, take it to a locksmith and have him make a key for it. The bonus is that the ignition key would probably fit the doors as well (assuming the new key was made to have the same cuts as the original).
