I live in NYC, but travel back and forth to Florida every 3 weeks as the family business is in Orlando (it's also where we keep our toys)

Very cool, hey since I live just outside of Orlando maybe you could help me out.

My exhaust guy (at Midas) got married last weekend (I tried to talk him out of it) and is still on his honeymoon. Now my problem is that the muffler on my elky is hanging loose and banging around under the car. There is a swell coming up this weekend and the elky is the only car that I have that can fit a 9'4" and my wife

Do you know any good exhaust folks that I could contact to help me out on Friday so I can surf on Saturday (or maybe Friday evening too)???

Thanks!!! and let us know about the next time you are coming down!

Roadrunner Mufflers on Michigan Ave in Kissimmee

Ask for either Orlando or Ricardo and tell them Rick from Fuel Slut sent you


If you're more on the ghetto side of Orlando, there's Ben's Mufflers on OBT aross the street from the Doll House

Ben will talk your ear off if you've got a hot ride, but does good work for little cash

Welcome also from me downunder to this neat site. Looks like you will have fun with your coupe,it certainly looks the part with the big block.
I enjoyed your sales pitch on the sharp Ponty, very well done and after been in sales for 25+ years and been a sales manager, I would have you on my team anyday.

Thanx man

Everyone thought I was cracked when I set the asking price at twice book value

But after I made the video, someone flew in from Texas and gave me exactly what I was asking, no questions asked

To top it off, he didn't even know how to drive stick (he flew in with his dad and a buddy to drive it back for him)

Welcome Snake:

Nice new ride - almost looks like a model!

Sounds like you had a mighty quick Poncho - breaking into the 12's with even the ram air version was a feat!

Glad to have you with us and look forward to your postings.

Regards,
Glenn

Thanks for the advice SE, I will take advantage of it tomorrow!

Welcome to the forum. Nice Model A!

Cool trades and sales leading up to you aquiring your coupe. neat concept. The boat thing is an interesting one. My current boat is a pain in the neck (30 foot Chris Craft, Catalina) BUT I love being on the water. the only thing more expensive than hot rodding is boating.

Love that drag boat!

One day I'll get another boat, but it will haveto be sumthin with a litte lss maintenance

Preferably sumthin with an open deck like a Center Console or Cat (nothing with a cabin)

I've learned that a cabin is useless and a miserable place to be when out on a sunny day (especially with no A/C)

I'd much rather have an open deck that I can take 10 people out fishing, hose it off at the end of the day and stick it in my backyard until the next weekend

Welcome to the forum. Nice model a coupe, dig the windshield, reminds me of a 32. I know the boat thing, I have an bbc injected hondo flatbottom boat(project), and a done omega jetboat(521 stroker). Just sits in the garage Played with boats for a couple of years, but trying to finish my model a. Cant save money for a project while boating every weekend.
