    Saturday afternoon, B-Ville So Cal?  One other car as far as the eye can see?  I doubt it.  That was a staged pitcher, has to be.  You can't fool me...I lived there once upon a time.

    Oil your hinges.  69-70 rrally benefits from lubed rivets.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Since this is about hinges now. Lower the front of the hinge and the rear will come down.

    Thanks guys for the kudos and hinge tips. It has been a while since I last lubed the pivots on the hinges.

    RTM, you have a PM. Hey that rhymes.

    It's always a good feeling when your car has been down for a project, and your first 250 mile trip doesn't include a tow truck.
