Oh wow, twisting around in a car. Im probably high has a kite from all the fumes *mabye you can tell by the video* But here is the headliner. Sorry for the crappy vid, its just my cell phone with a trouble light. Oh and I spent $30 on fabric, and about 40 on glue. Not too bad I dont think.(sun visors and sunroof slider yet to come)

Ryan it does have cruise. That could be a problem, but I think my main issues are related to putting in the TBI spacer. I have learned from 3 hours of reading that I need to adjust the TV cable. Of course it says it is easy to do it and shows lots of pictures, but my TV cable is different from all of those I have seen. The cable in the picture is the throttle cable and it is one of my sources of problems. With the change in geometry the cable will not allow the throttle to return to idol. I am thinking that it is a simple adjustment for someone that knows how. I am going to stop buy and ask our local service shop. It wouldn't hurt to have all of the fluids changed either.

Private property OR NOT, the cops NEED to respond. They HAVE to take a police report! An accident is an accident, parking lot or not, and if she backed into you well OBVIOUSLY it's not YOUR fault. What a stupid bitch. I'd have called the police station myself, screw 911. Like Public Enemy says, 911 is a joke!
Robyn,
I told Debbie, "Was there anyone close by you know and may have seen this happen?"
She asked and found two women who said they saw this woman back in to her. So I asked if she got their phone numbers? Incase the insurance wanted to talk to them. She forgot.


I personally don't want this woman coming back on me saying Debbie hit her in my car and now she has whiplash or something.

Rj... you could have a case against the police department. They have to be onscene at any kind of accident private property or not. I hope nothing happens to you all that's for sure. I hope the shadow is okay for the most part???

brock, the headliner looks great. and im with chris, thats a helluva spider, lol. reminds me of the wolf spider that fell outta the vent on my buddies pickup when we were crusing along at like 70 mph, he had that truck off the road & us jumped out like where T F did that thing go! lol

todd, let us know what the shop says about the burbon. personally, im still leaning towards the cruse linkage, the spacer coulda moved it just enough outta alignment that, scince its a riged peice, its pushing the throddle body up.

chris, good luck with the move, the sooner its done with the sooner things can get back on track. my dad is having a rough time too, the guy he works with takes a yearly 2 weeks off for black-powder season out in idaho or somthing... anyways, the place is geting plenty of work in, but my dad is the only one in the shop & to handel the road calls right now, so he has alot on his plate.

just remember george carlin, its gonna be a MONGOLIAN CLUSTER F***! lol

Brock, that headliner looks really good man. Even with a work light and cell phone. As for the spider. I can see your point about it being outside, so just let it be. But it's that close to your house/garage/car etc. Eventually it'll find a way into your house. And if it gets in your car, it could suddenly appear like Ryan said, and cause you to get into an accident. I think it would be squish city for that thing if I saw it in my driveway.

Chris, I remember when the company I work for moved from our temporary building to our new building years ago. Being a 24/7 operation, stuff had to be moved without the luxury of being able to close down for a long period of time. So the closer we got to the grand opening of our new building, the less supplies we had at the temporary place. Which really sucked!
