    I came home from work today and my buddy, Ken, was waiting at the gate. He had brought me a set of new Springs and perches for my GT project. He had gone with 1" dropped springs on his Grabber and wasn't going to use them. Wouldn't take anything for them. We seem to share parts with each other when the need presents itself. To me, that is what is so great about this Madness we call Classic Cars. Friends helping friends!! Thanks, Ken, and if you need that toploader OD, let me know.

    I've noticed that a lot of car-guys will help out other car-guys, even if they're not close friends and don't really hang out together. I guess it's just a car-guy thing.

    Yes it is... I have given parts to members of this forum that I didn't know, even hand delivered a z-bar a member bought just so he would get it on time...

    If car guys ran the country, we would be unstoppable... :drive:
