    Salvage title due to finger ding? What am I missing?

    Oh lord. That stuff happens. You know people question things like that- they don’t realize it was two in the morning on a rainy night and carnage..... It was like the photographs of the concentration camp officers surrendering- then being gunned down. In the 90’s the soldiers were looked up...

    Salvage title due to finger ding? What am I missing?

    Just to give you guys an idea of what you can run into- For years my brother and several of his peers worked for a company that rebuilt cars The title laws were quite a bit different back then and it was a pretty lucrative business One time they found a shoe in a car- It’s still had a foot in it.

    Front bumper bolt and nut grades: Grade 5?

    Well it’s no stronger than the weakest bolt in the assembly- But I can’t make any sense on not using grade 8- I’m not the ultimate authority- @mr blaine does well on questions like that-

    I’m not trying to make out that the show deserved any theatrical awards but it was very well cast.

    WWYD?

    A young guy was sweeping the studio and wanted to be in the music business so bad. He got Meat Loaf to listen to his demo tapes. Meatloaf said “keep at it”. So Jon BonJovi did. Encouragement. A little might go a long way.

    WWYD?

    As a dad I think 30 is a good age for a girl to start dating. Now as a 17 year old boy my view was quite different. I wouldn’t say us boys dated …borderline stalking is a more accurate term.

    Frame Rust

    I just don’t have the experience or the technical knowledge to make any judgment on the worthiness of a repair…. Always remember a frame swap is not out of the question. I don’t know your budget or skill level but I’m just trying to suggest ideas so that you can see all sides. We hate rust...

    Frame Rust

    On a scale of one to 10 that’s about a 12. just looking at that one photo certainly makes me think it needs some serious attention for safety reasons.
