Lisa......doubtful they will offer full asking price. As a buyer in this market......that's just......weird. BUT......just counter-offer with whatever they plop on the table, and see what happens. Good luck to you

Chris, I think you're right. It was someone that had just returned from a National event of some sorts. Jeremy had been to some truck stuff and I think Scott went to a NHRA event within the same few weeks or days of each other.

If it don't work I'll try to find the stuff I once used on my fuel tanks and dump boxes (was always to cheap to buy aluminum wheels) that worked great although a bit pricey
In the recent years I have always had good luck with Neverdul on stainless and aluminum

Ray, I've used lots of Neverdul, too damn much work. In fact I need a 15 year old kid to do this job for me. It takes me about a week to do just 1 wheel.

I failed to post that I have finally gotten the Vdub running perfect. With a lot of help from 2 members here. Kwik, and Mega Jim. I forgot to mention Chris, Just another truck. But attached here is the secret to the perfect air/fuel ratio mixture. 45% is considered perfect, I set mine at the one displayed here because it is a little bit on the lean side and Dan said these motors prefer to be a little lean and of course I am searching for the best mpg I can coax out of it.l

I used a CPU block and a pump/reservoir from them. Blue coolant and UV lights made it look nice, and man did that guy have nice parts inside that PC. I need a new PC as well as mine is 1 1/2 years old. New truck is kinda taking all the money right now, I NEED MONEY!
When I water cooled my PC, it wasnt such a great experience......

and to think a special trip on 140 race on the dp to deliver a sample and flood their parking lot with diesel smoke is out of the question.....but best be sure they have already paid you before you tease them with truck stuff.

I have a buddy of mine who got really drunk one evening last fall and water cooled his cable modem in the middle of the night, thinking he was in the bathroom, if you know what I mean. It didn't turn out so well for his cable modem either.

lol Leo. Yeah I'm not so sure they'd like that either. I do 99% of my design/consultation over the internet. I almost never meet clients in person. I'm like the troll under the bridge, except I sit in the corner of a big office building.

Sweet! That'd be awesome Pat. I have a 12 pack in my fridge that Randy left there that hasn't been touched, free for the drinking. Actually what I really need is a big enclosed trailer that I can take to Iowa one way. The biggest Uhaul has is a 12 ft by 6 ft and I cant find a nationwide company who rents out trailers that are any bigger than that. I dont want to rent a truck, I just wanna throw all my crap in a big trailer and hook up to 'ol red and be outta here.

That_Guy... Chris, what the hell's up with your Post Office?
I have no idea, my parents said they didnt get anything either and my moms home most of the day every day. I do know for a fact that our postmaster will not mail anything out of our post office because she knows how bad it is...
