Interesting to see the mixture of men and women drivers. Some cars held the road much better then others. Thanks for posting this.

Perhaps a salesmen's sample case that he took to dealers to show what the items were.

That is very nice that the family pitches in to help get the car ready BUT... Is it because they want Dean to enjoy Chichasha or just want him out of the house?

Great story and a beautiful car but who's Rob?

The shipper does not set the shipping prices! The Post Office, UPS, Fed-ex, decide what to charge. Cost depends on WEIGHT, SIZE, and DISTANCE. Patty and I ship packages most every day all over the USA and we try very hard to find the cheapest rate for any thing we ship. Weight is NOT the only facto...

I hope you get this resolved but here are a few questions 1) Did you send the package with a "signature required" form. If not then he can deny he received it. If you did then you have proof that he has your items 2) Has he acknowledged ever receiving them in an e-mail, letter etc.? It's a shame but...

If you go to the "Classified Parts" section of the forum and scroll down a little way you will see an ad by Mark Chaffin for door handles and he has posted excellent pictures of the many door handles he has for sale. He shows many different styles.

I finally took time to get the '27 Touring out yesterday and I took a nice long ride. Enjoyed it very much as I hadn't had too much time this year to ride. The weather looks good for tomorrow too! Planning on it but who knows what will come up. It will be more fun then just staring at the wall.

The original floor pans reinforcement bead rolls were "X" shaped and not straight like mine are rolled.
