Found the perfect camper & truck for @Zorba .... No touch screen nor another electronics. Should be an easy fix for ya.

I went there in late '81. My wife and I were moving from Washington state to upstate New York. I was driving a '56 Ford 2-door hardtop, and she was driving a '71 Dodge Demon. Anyway, I told the wife that I wanted to stop in on the way east. I still have actual photos of the visit, somewhere. It's an incredible place!

These were the photos that ended up in a shoebox, not the digital kind on your Zorba phone. I'll be damned if I have any idea where those photos actually are, my friend. Your wait is going to be a long one...

A quick update on acquiring parts for the SIL's Nissan Altima.
The parts-car for $300 sold the day I contacted the seller. Bummer, as it was even the correct color. Tried two different wrecking yards yesterday, and all the cars had either been picked clean of the parts I needed, or they had been damaged in the same area as the SIL's car, thereby rendering the parts useless. However, I hit a third wrecking yard today, and scored bigtime. Got every single part I needed for the repair all off of one very clean car. The kid at the counter originally rang everything up at $206 (helluva deal), but then said "Let me do this for ya...", and changed the price to $187.28 out the door. Wow! That's for the trunk lid with the hinges attached, the bumper cover, the bumper structure, and two tail lights. I was very satisfied with that price. After spending two hours in the rain liberating these parts, it made it all worth it.

KEWL... You're a good man...
And for the record, it is NOT weatherproof, neither was that grey shit.
Yeah but Red Oxide does a better job at hiding oxidation...from 10+ ft away
