We are likely to cause Dan to develop a quirk or two as well. The replacement Regal is likewise setup for a SBG, and the quickest cheapest path to transportation is to throw a set of body mounts and a 350/TH400 in. I feel your pain.Last edited by STINEY; June 11, 2019, 05:22 PM.Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.

I tend to respond to the people who moved here and say things like "where I lived we did x and it was far better then your way" with "I love people who think they can change us, they have awesome moving sales when they go"
I learned something... I'll share. This is not a complaint - simply knowledge so that you can make informed decisions on suppliers.
I ordered parts from an ebay vendor who claimed the part was in stock and ready to ship.
It wasn't, matter of fact, after 2 weeks of waiting, I sent an email to them saying "whatzup"
They responded with "oh, that's out of stock, did we not mention this to you? our bad" they then opined that it might be in stock in 1-2 weeks (now their ad says 3 weeks from today).
I responded that they had a more expensive part (an additional feature) and I needed the part now - so I'd pay the difference I just need it now.*
No response.
Finally the last day for them to deliver passes. I ask for a refund.
Crickets.
Send a note to Ebay....
okay so here is the warning point....
Ebay makes you wait another week before they will intervene... if they do, it's another week to get a refund through them.
If you can wait or if the deal is awesome - fantastic, however, that fine print may cause you to need to look at other options.
Again, not complaining - I'm certain that neither the vendor or ebay wish to have an annoyed customer.
*sidenote to vendors - if you're sending a 'whoops' or 'don't have' email, offer a refund because it's not going to get better from here.Doing it all wrong since 1966

*and just for the record* I've ordered everything to finish the suspension on this from Speedway. It arrives next Tuesday.... I'm so far beyond excited to get this into the queue
and it is going into the shop and things are moving out for a bit.... this should be fun Corvette needs to stay inside, I don't want to put the top back on the '40 (and it doesn't fit in the garage)..... maybe I can finally get to a major move-stuff-about....Doing it all wrong since 1966
