A Horse With No Name

I've seen cabinet work I'd trade an Escalade for. I am a huge fan of about any kind of custom woodworking....

Then by all means replace the core! I was thinking it would be a four hour PITA job to get through....

...and you would be correct also. We've had serious forms of it since 1980 or so, but it is rearing its ugly head more and more now.

Alrighty, then pick either war. I meant WW II, but I is a moron and cayunt spell weyull

I've had horrible luck buying anything from Pep boys, and avoid them like the black plague. As for the heater core, you could try getting some commercial grade Ice Machine cleaner or some commercial grade evaporator coil cleaner and running it through the coil. Essentially both are a mild acid that will eat away sediments and deposits. Your other trick? They make a solution for dishwashers that is a form of acid that is nickel safe and aluminium safe, but will remove calcium build up and sediment like there is no tomorrow. The coil cleaning solution you would have to buy from a wholesale type of supply house...but several of those sell to the general public as well. You also could set up a cash "business account" in your business name and buy over the counter. The dishwasher stuff is available from Lowes, at least around here. It takes hot (120 degrees plus) water to activate, but that shouldn't be any problem. For under ten bucks you can buy either 3/8" or 1/4" plastic line from Lowes or a plumbing supply dealer and an adapter to hook up to a sink. From there it's hot water and you are off to the races. My other Mustang was a Fox body, and it had a heater core that was an absolute utter pain in the arse to get to and change. I wouldn't wish that project, even on loki.... (Just kidding loki...) Can't imagine what it's like in the Tahoe, but it can't be good.

We might be able to work something out....

I strongly agree with 'Biz.

I've just seen really crappy stuff on things that involve life safety...such as fire alarm sysems. Inspection system should be simple and easy to go through.... I don't advocate starving them, just "Put them on a leash...."

For me, B 26 Maurader, One a day in Tampa Bay, baby. What a hot rod of a plane.... What would you all fly?

I've seen more absurd claims or ideas....

He's wanting to look "Ohio Redneck" with the Jetta hulk.... And congrats, neat car.

We might be able to arrange a little "fill up" if the wagon wandered westward...

If you keep the original A/C components on the wagon, R-409-A will work in place of R-12....but you didn't hear that from me....

That's okay, part of the fun of fixing things is learning new things. I've learned a lot of things I never thought I would...or never needed again, for that matter!

My in laws have stow and go...it is wonderful also. And reg, I analogize to you...you once praised the Routan and I thought you were nuts, It's a decent van. as is the Odyssey.

I'm seeing it now...and wondering if this thing doesn't need to meet a frame rack for an hour or two...

Think electrical first and airflow next...your solving this like a commercial A/C-refrigeration guy.... You sure your really a landscaper?

I agree right back...gov't should be in a lot of ways run like a business. As much as I am loathe to love Reagan, that was one of the things he did right. He set up a lot of government accounts as subcontract work so the free market could compete and provide the service. Things like mowing the grass in national parks for example. Gov't should also run like a business in another way...it should be "customer oriented." We should be using our tax dollars for practical things here at home. City parks come to mind, as do state forests and decent highways. Decent lunches for school children would do wonders. I'd love to take part fof what we spend on one F-22 Raptor warbird and provide fresh fruit, veggies, and fresh, locally sourced meat for school children. Yes, some of it would be wasted, but then a lot of it wouldn't. And it's pretty hard to low a field with a tank. Part of my real problem with the "right" is the insistence on no government at all. Your in the building trades, I'm in the building trades...I actually like Code enforcement because it keeps people honest about their work, and levels the playing field so more people can compete for work. Plus...we have one standard of work. I can come help you with a project in jersey, help Camino with a project in PA, help cubitar with a project in Arizona, and then help croc with a project in LA. All those different places might have regional differences in how things are usually done, but overall...we have a standard of how things are done here. To me...that HELPS our free enterprise system. And I really think the key to our economic future is small business-you own one and I work for one-to me that's the way our nation needs to fly-lots of self reliant small business people that provide services to people. Not saying we don't need general Motors and General Electric...we do...but...think small business and we'll think alike. Chris

I agree completely with you. While we are at opposite ends of the political spectrum, I think a smaller, leaner, more efficient government would actually be better at providing basic services!

I'm with Dave87rs...grab it. Just make sure they include the big wind up key in the back...

Raymond Lowey yes...Harley Earl yes... There is a great book called Lost Wright...I think I was telling you about this one of the times we met in person. All of his stuff that got torn down, including a hotel in tokyo. One more reason not to buy Japanese! Semper Fi!

BINGO....you would be once again correct sir. Give the man a Cigar!

I would really look up to Harry S Truman as well. Such a simple, honest guy throw up at one of the turning points in history. I some times picture him sitting in the oval office, thinking about dropping the bomb on Japan, or rebuilding Europe.... Barry Goldwater I like as well, as he was much more of a rational libertairan type than like a lot of todays conservatives. Nigel Mansell I think of all of the drivers Cubical mentioned, I respect Nigel the most...

Go for it dude...these are as much of a hoot as a Miata, and Honda will never build the likes of this again. Your going to wind up with a car collection the size of the US Navy Pacific fleet...which isn't a bad thing. You have good taste in cars...
