I owe Grabber and everyone else on this board an apology. I finally read this thread today. I assumed by the title that it was something refering to California's ever changine laws about SMOG or Registration Laws or any number of other laws California is always trying to pass that effect people in the auto-hobby/profession. It is almost election time

I'm really glad this had a happy ending. $3,500 is not chump change. That's a lot of pints, stubbies, vegimite and Aussie Rules Football tickets.

I just noticed the guys middle name, Dow.
There was a Circuit Preacher in the 1700's from the North East US that traveld as far as Mississippi spreading the Word, and much like Johnny Appleseed planting little Dow's along the way.
