    Found a guy on Monday with a complete '74 dash with A/C vents and a perfect dash pad (which was the real piece I was after in the first place) 2- sets of tail lens's, front quarter turn lens's front kick panels, rear quarter interior panels, 2- back seats. and assorted chrome.(sorry.....no boomerangs....I checked)......$150.00 !!!!:yahoo:. I'll made the deal for Friday when I get paid. I go to work the next day and my hours get cut. (A loss of 40% of my income):mad::mad::mad:

    This will be my last decent check.....at least for a while.....I only need the pad off the dash and a couple of lens's. Can I sell the rest and break even?

    Sorry about the hours that were cut but the parts are hard to get and might not come around again for awhile so i would go for it. Good luck either way.

    Look at it as getting a perfect dash pad for $150 (not bad at all) and getting everything else as a bonus.

    I would think you could get $100 back selling all the other stuff, but it might take some time.

    All in all, I would say you are going to kick yourself if you don't grab this.

    Besides, with the reduced hours, now you have time to work on your car ... :yahoo: That's how I have put a positive spin on my situation. :thumbs2:

    Still a great deal for the dash pad. Sorry to hear about the hours cut.

    I looked at your post and saw Tomball, TX, I was watching a show last night that mentioned Goodson's Cafe in Tomball. :hmmm:

    That's the scary part.......might loose the house if I don't find a second job. Lots of time, but working on it might be like working on my "House":(

    I hate to hear your hours were cut.

    I also feel for you losing a job soon.

    I have a great pict but am not able to attach it to the site, it is JPEG.

    I know the one you are talking about. I've seen a few that are close. The "sheeple wanted CHANGE". I guess they were too ignorant to ask what the change would be with out questioning what the changes would be.
