    Why would you say that to him?????? If you can't answer the question, don't reply.

    I think of it as telling off the chef before he cooks your food! Not a good idea! and everyone on this site are the chef's! (remember that when you need to ask something)

    I see you have no car listed, or you don't like it either!

    I have had 7 S-10's & have 2 of them now, for daily drivers, it is not what I'm building on. except the Vortex 4.3/tranny out of the '93 will be going into my wifes '27 Tudor Sedan.

    Iv'e seen some cool ones back in Mn. Trucks & Blazers

    Anyone can cut one up, but! only some can put it back together looking cool!
