    CUCV Rear Handle question

    One MINOR word of warning about these particular parts (rear handle) from LMC. Not their fault, but they are made in China and SOME of them are poorly made pot metal. I think I got those pieces from a Chevy dealer or perhaps from a Chevy parts house online for only a little more and they were...

    New Southern CUCV projects....

    There is a body shop I'm considering that charges $45 an hour. IF they estimate 10 hours, then I consider that a great deal. Probably an additional couple of hours per side, then the over all cost would be around $650 for both sides. I will do my own painting, so that's no problem or added...

    2013 Annual TX MV Rally

    I hate to say this, but I'm glad that the dates have moved back one week. The Dallas 2013 St. Patrick's Day Parade is on Sunday, March 17th and I'm hoping that the MVCC and the Arrowhead MVPA folks can put on an impressive show in downtown Dallas on that day. Now, for the following weekend...

    G, I suggest two pair of buckets. Talk to Mike Oliver. I just picked up two pair of brand new HEMMT seats for a great price. Drop by and see what I'm talking about as I'm going to put them in mine. Love what you've done so far. Keep it up. j
