Age test! NO LBC CONTENT

[paulhuck@bellsouth.net]

Hey, anybody remember good solid beam front axles, real wood dash boards, 'pull' (not push) starters, the 'first' wave of 19" wheels, 2 batteries wired in series to make 12 volts, hoods(tops) that required 'several' trips from one side of the car to the other to erect, cars with only one tail light, full size spares, windscreen that folded flat, rnning boards, separate fenders(wings) and headlights, non presurized water systems ? Sound familiar? Face it, all of us are 'Olde Nuts" when it comes to the cars we love. PTH

Yeah, maybe; but it'd sure be nice if we could marry some of the modern (mainly Japanese inspired) bulletproofedness to our treasured but highly fragile & payneass machines;(like 200+K mileage W/"seldom" maintenance no sweat). Don TC 7993
