Thursday afternoon I called the upholsterer who was going to prefab the interior for the Model A. I wanted his approval of the selected vinyl that I sent him. After a month of discussion, sending patterns and samples back and forth, and fabricating panels to his specifications, he states that the fabric is fine but he has changed his mind and will no longer do the job.
I never asked how much, I really didn't care....oh well.
Then there was the glass shop who knew exactly how to do a Model A windshield and promptly exploded the $300 frame into 3 pieces. It was my fault I guess???
The first test was a new stainless cowl band for the "A" from a flake called Ahooga Reproduction Parts. The only thing I can say is that it resembled the original band. Too long on one side (one inch) and not too close on the shape. If I would ship it back they would check it ($35)??? No call tag, they don't understand why it fits some cars and not others?? No refunds in any case! I do not know how these people stay in business, probably enough turkeys like ME!
Just another sequence of tests.
I think I need to go to the mountains and look for pussy in my driveway.
Uhmmmm....Dad...you won't find your pussy in your driveway....maybe you mean bobcat?? LOL...But if you do find your pussy in your driveway, well, we'll have a lot to talk about at the next dinner.... Vic
ReplyDeleteWait, let me clarify for all you readers. Dad has large bobcats at his mountain cabin...very proximal to his cabin...on the dirt road that leads to the cabin. No pussy in the driveway...none. I'm sure of it.... ;-)
