I've been busy putting ceramic tile in my kitchen.  Its been a 2 week process but I've been doing it myself with the help of my brother after work and on the weekend.  Its too cold to work on the car anyway!

I check in but rarely have anything that would contribute to these threads.  Hell, what little I post any more doesn't contribute much, if not at all anyway.

Graham, you know where I am..lol, same place I was last time we met.
I expect to have some news for you soon concerning cars and stuff.  :)

Other than that, apart from the little bits I post here, I'm about like everyone else, just got other stuff going on. The fire will never completely go out, but I do allow it to simmer down at times.

I need to more some cars around tomorrow and work again in the evening.
I also found out the relay and wiring to my fans melted down some time.
Not sure when.

Hoping to get some work done on the T-Bird tomorrow.  If I get it back on four wheels, I may have some new pictures of it with a new stance, brakes and (temporary) 5-lug wheels.  I'm here several times a day, I just don't have a lot to contribute...

Heh, I've been working on my new truck! But I haven't neglected the bird entirely. It goes in on Friday for the 5-Speed if all goes well. And the hood now mounts flush, so that's good.

I check in every day. It's still my favorite site! I've not been to the jy in a while to see what new has come in in a while, I have a friend that will usually let me know when they get any Birds in. Of course I still have the Sport to strip out back but it's too cold to do anything outside.

I think winter's got a lot to do with it. People aren't driving their cars, so they've nothing to report. Myself, I check in several times a day usually but simply don't have much to say.

I'm here daily checking in on you chuckleheads, making sure you stay in line. :beatyoass:

Not much happening with the cars.  The '83 is in an auto copuppies under the carport with the battery out, and the '80 gets driven when the roads are decently dry-ish.  Busy working on the Scorpio and other .

I picked up some aluminum to fab up the custom GT-40 intake plates. That should bring in some funds for the Sport and the big swap meet at the end of February. Other than that,recovering from the flu.

I am here everyday...My custom door panels are nearly finished.  The only original piece will be the pull strap, and that's being recovered.  Did you know you can get vinyl that looks like carbon fibre....

Yup.  I keep mentioning that they could possibly be for sale, but nobody's biting...  Tires and all, ready to go...Jus' sayin'

Post by: jpc647 on January 31, 2011, 04:40:57 PM
I love them. I really do. But I have 3 sets of tires for my bird already. Well 2 and a half. One set is kinda bald, but regardless. I remember when I had just joined I saw them and fell in love. They look really good on the silver of your bird. I like them, but the last thing I need is another set of tires/wheels. :/

Honestly it's such a pain in the a$$ to keep logging in everytime I want to check the board and then half the time after logging in it won't let me post because it says I'm not logged in. sheeeesh!  It happens on 4 differant PC's all never changed settings at work and home, so I don't think it's on my end,Oh well......

IVY still looking for a cable and bracket for you, hang tight.

No problem, John.  The car is still sitting on jackstands in a garage I used to own, an hour from where I live now.  Saturday didn't work out for me.  I'm so friggin' close to having it back on its wheels.  Hook up the last brake line and bleed the brakes - change out the tie rod ends to SN-95s - put the rear coilovers on - re-check my work - done.  Maybe next week.  Who knows?  Divorce is hell...trust me on this...

Hey John, try clicking on the forum tab on the first screen when you get on. That's what I do and the next page shows me as logged in. It's worth a shot.

I'm here. I've been in and out of the forum most of the day, hanging around Ebay buying stuff, and now I'm going outside to remove some ice from the Maxima and the Sport.
