Repair cost estimates for non-motorheads.
With all of the talk of "Johnson rods", "muffler bearings", and so on...
I thought this might help with estimating the cost of repairs. :-)

On the other wall this would be a good fit too..........Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

That will be $128.50 please... We prefer money orders, but a personal check will be fine, long as you make it for an even $200.00.... Thanks for you patronage....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

My wife can hear me mutter under my breath three rooms away and on different floors, but a car noise - total deafness. If it starts when she turns the key - no problems there. I'm 50-60% deaf in my right ear and 25% in the left (thanks, US Army), but a car noise to me - it's like a ricer with booming bass.

Dave W my wife has the same selective car noise filter. Maybe it only comes in the spouse model?
I can get into one of our two cars and instantly identify a funcky noise. The last one was a terrible high pitched metal shreaking sound when ever you went over the slightest bump. She had been driving that car for weeks and never noticed it. I was stumped for about three days, when one day I finally figured it was coming from the passenger front wheel well. It was a valence sheet metal panel, that was hanging by it's last rivet, near the front shock absorber, when I found it. After the truck was fixed, she said, "hmm I never heard anything!"
Now if I was to mutter some snide comment say, in the garage, and she was within 50 feet, she'd nail me for it

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
