Hell, I get that look from the 1st lady all the time.
And it's to late. I sent the sills out for polish.

That tar like substance is rubber compound from the good old McCreary Tire Factory where Earl worked once upon a time. By the way Sam and Schonye, the reverse lock out rod is still here and we also have the T-handle that we used on the shifter. It's actually the second one we bought since Earl stripped the threads on the first one.

We were just talking about ordering a rod for that. I guess if you want, you could send it out to us, or let me know quietly and we'll charge Sam double, and split it with you.

Charge Sam for the rod and you can sell it to me for even more. I need one!

SHHH don't tell him, he will never buy ribs in St.Louis.

If you would Schonye, ask the sill polishers to put all that rubber compound in a little jar and mark it: "McCreary Tire Co., Indiana, PA".

Linda - don't you be listenin' to these out-of-town boys. They are just crazy-loco

These slapper bars have a cool back story to them which I'll cover later on. Schonye did a great job on their restoration. They are pretty unique for Novas with rear sway bars in that they accommodate the sway bar instead of requiring it to be removed....

Cool adjustable snubbers...

Email me your address Schonye and I'll get that lock out rod in the mail on Tuesday. I'll check on the price of that new Cadillac I've had my eye on and we'll work out a bill for Sam later!!

Sam, kinda neat to know that the slapper bars (and probably a lot of the other parts) came from your papa's store in Indiana!!
