I believe he said he shimmed under the rocker arm, could the shim be causing a misalignment which would cause them to stick?

My Sweetpeas Looks Like A Elephant




I had My Dad cut out the Templets onto Diamond Plate while I was @ work and I installed them and the Speakers when I got Home.
 .....
Only Problem is the door Spring hits the speakers on the inside. I guess thats why the kept comming loose off the door Panels in the first place. Too late now. I will Have to Get Thinner ones because I slipped with the Nut Driver anyway and punch a hole in the Passenger one. :(

Kinda hard to see in the pic, but I painted yellow spears onto the four spokes then added trim rings.



I don?t know why but I like these things. Have one in my Bus too. Indoor outdoor temp & time. This one even lights up.

Put the new Emergency brake cable in the car today and what a debacle that turned out to be I couldn't get the pin out that the Emer. Brake handle rides on so I finally cut the bracket that holds the pin, I put the handle in the vice and still couldn't budge the pin until I heated it cherry red. I had to reassemble it as a unit and bend the bracket back around the pin, so a 45 min. job turned into a 3 hr. job.

Maybe next week I?m going to have louvers put in my engine lid because I didn't really care for any of the other ideas I?ve been mulling around to get more air into the engine compartment. The only thing that concerns me is any thing I do that is permanent will make the engine run to cold in the winter months.  Maybe my board is my best bet, its easy to remove and works good. Decisions. decisions.

Screw that vintage, traditionalist, purist decklid crap-o-la.

You know the VolksRod slogon, "Pissing off Purist from day one" ((;

And furthermore Mr. Shawn, I wish you would make your avatar a little darker green, I don't like the color it is now.

Changed out the swival foot adjuusting screws back to stock this morning and now I have to change the oil, it's getting black from to much gas, then put the stock jet back in the carb. (yes, I found the jets John)

Also my new, used garage Boom-Box radio came via FedX this morning and I hooked that up also, now I have HYPER BASE. I won the bid on E-Bay for $9.98 and the shipping was $13

Steveo don't know Jack about chit, plus his car wasn't stock, plus he should be strung up for selling. His car also had a small dent in it.
