Hey folks!

Just wanted to see how everyone was doing. I see quite a few of the crew are still here. I've been lurking in the shadows for the past few weeks eyeballing posts here and there. I especially enjoyed the one detailing plenum removal since that will be my next venture (yeah, it's been my "next venture" for about a year now- lol) Many thanks to the guy that put that one out... I have my printed copy pinned to the garage wall but I have to save up for beer now. I'll just be honest here. I ain't touching a thing till the weather warms.

Oh wait, I do have some drilled rotors still sitting the box that I need to throw on... I'm planning on having them skimmed first though. I'm planning to slowly upgrade the brakes...Need to change the lines especially. Front end is tight a year (more?) after changing Inner and outer Tie Rods, upper links, rack bushings etc... the slightest steering jerk elicits a response.

Barring bending myself over a barrel and dropping my pants at JWT, where can I buy adjustable tension rods?

My 90Q is running strong as ever. Just drove it to Miami and back twice for the Thanksgiving and Xmas holidays. Even so, I don' t drive it much since I'm still tearing up the road in a 93 Dodge Dakota V8 (5.2 L). (small truck, powerful engine)

My last "major" repair on the Q was on the exhaust pipe about midway underneath. Sealed a crack with some putty, baling wire and that wrap that hardens.... six bucks was it??? hehehe My oil change is more expensive. I buy the 6 packs of Mobil 1 full syn at Costco for 18 bucks.

When is the next Altanta meet? Holla back ya'll!!!

Drew... (King of Q on a budget) :D

I need to go shopping with you since it is $24 at WA, OR and TX Costcos. Maybe you're paying in 1982 dollars?
