    Not I got this one. It's taller that the others and very heavy. There is a cheaper one similar to this that is too short.

    Right now I'm using mine for my shrinker. The tray that mounts on the post is handy also.

    Never noticed that one before, looks good. Had I known I may have just got that but my cost was less than that anyways.

    Received new seat belts. Will try to install this weekend with the nice weather we are having in Middle GA. Hopefully, I will have time to install the seats in between the football games. Go Falcons.

    I'm still sicker then I've been in years... Gonna try and order stuff online, gotta find the cheapest headliner, windshield gasket and rear gasket... And maybe digital gauges.

    Stopped too hard at a yellow light to avoid one of those stupid red light cameras. Wound up getting my shifter stuck between gears. Had to jump out, chock my tires, and wedge myself under the car, thank god my arm can reach both sides of the transmission because I couldn't get under the car past my shoulder. Pushed and pulled on the shift rods until popped into gear. And then away I went.

    I hate those red light cameras. My company is moving buildings and the new building is surrounded by them. Every red light for a mile in every direction has one... Still can't believe I bound up the shifter though. Anyone got a link to a good instruction on checking out the shifter on a 3 speed?
