    Well guys, Will be stopping in Ludington for a few days to visit mom and dad (Dad retired from GM) and thinking I might just pull the Motorcycle off the trailer and come find you guys. Will be later this spring but if you all would like to get together for few hours please PM me your addresses and phone #'s and I will call everyone and see if we can all meet in the middle somewhere. I think that would be cool. Digz, I know where Six Lakes is.... cheers

    [quote="gotavan"]i found some wings and skulls this is a small one 9". The one like on the shopping cart is a bit bigger.
    quote]

    Dan, kinda like the bigger one (More detail).
    I really would replace the bowtie emblem on my 1st Gen with one if you can find another a large one. Let me know, and the $ if you do find one...

    Thx,
    Dan

    Went snow skiing in the Wisconsin Dells. Made 6 runs down the easy trails. No fall down!

    40 some degrees. Sunny. It was like being on top of the worlds biggest slushy.

    15 years and 70 pounds latter, I'm still the same crappy skier I was before!

    Thats the rears off a 85 Eldorado,,,,,,I bought the caliper to take it apart and see what it is all about,,,,,,,especially that parking brake set up. That part looks like our cable would just snap right on it. Caliper was $10,,,,,,with a $2 core,,,,,,,brackets $4 each at my 1/2 price Valentines Day with love sale at Pick a Part ,,,,,,,,,,

    Somehow I don't think you were going for the "ice coat" look on that axle. Seems like you guys get blasted with at least one bad ice storm a year. Bet the rest of your parts are still waiting on the thaw before they ship them out.

    Is that an aftermarket chrome valve cover? My buddy bought one for his 250 engine and the rocker arms hit because of that crease along the top left side corner. I think those are for the newer integral intake engines,,,,,so you might want to check it out........

    When I put this chrome one on, the engine started knocking,,,,,,so the cylinder head did not like this valve cover. But I don't know if the head was a 194, 230, 250 or 292,,,,,,so maybe that was the problem or it was the valve cover or the 2 baffles in it.
