I got the car home yesterday, thanks to Cap'n Krusty working his magic to get it running again. It sounds like Hamfist (The Cap'ns term) took the relay board cover off, and forgot to put it back on, then washed the car. The Cap'n said he dried the board out and got the relays working again, set the timing, remounted the new coil, and she fires right up. Here's a few pics.
At the body shop when I had the tow truck pick it up.    After I got it home.     Looks like the body shop felt guilty & left me a gift. Too bad I don't drink takillya anymore.  The bumper, hood, eyebrows and headlights are all sitting too low, so I'll need to do some adjusting. Overall the paint & bodywork look pretty good. Unfortunately, it needs new tires, so I'll get it all adjusted, then put the car cover on it until I can afford some new shoes. It's nice to have it home. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Looks great Mark. Glad they were able to repair it.
Hoping the other aspect was repaired as well. |

Thanks guys.
Mark: Steve is doing the best that he can. My only complaint is about communication, or lack thereof. Accidents happen, there's nothing we can do but accept them & move on. We remain friends & I wish him and his family the best. Travis: I saw a pic years ago of a prototype that was this color (Metallic Red) and fell in love with it. It turns out this was the original color of Dad's Car, so in honor of him, I painted mine this color. Even tho it's a 72, I backdated the bumpers to 1970, because I like the look, and it's a 1970 only color, so it fits. |

I left that tequila there for you as a thank you, I'm surprised that it's still there. I thought it would take a week, not 6 months.

AND, if anyone here wants to talk anymore SHIT about me, they can email me directly at sww914@gmail.com or call my Mexican cellphone at 011-52-1-646-128-96-95
Seriously. Call. If you want to do it face-to-face, I'll be in Ensenada until October when hurricane season is over and we can go back south. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif) |

Looks like I haven't checked this thread in a while..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Thanks for the takillya, Steve. I may have to make margaritas in your honor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I got the headlights/eyebrows/hood adjusted & it looks pretty good. Sorry for all the drama. |
