Well my day job is a paid day off. My computer blew up and I'm off until they find me a new one... Not a bad way to make a living if you can find it. Lucky for me today is the day for the Snap-On man to be in the neighborhood and I am replacing my air ratchet today.

One thing you don't have to worry about is being offensive. I've been around a long time and I don't take much personally any longer. But there are people on the list that will jump on something just to have something to say. I used to have a drag car about 30 years back. Never got into the alcohol side though. I had a 68 Camaro with a 427 30 over with lots and lots of time and money it it. That's going way back and it would run a high 9 to 10 second quarter. Seems like a turtle compared to today. But top fuel was only running 6 to 6.2 then too... Getting ready for work right now but we'll talk more... ----- Original Message ----- From: Rhonda & Steve To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 10:03 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Re: Car repair. nice now we are getting some where I have a 1967 Shelby GT500, tubbed tube chassis. I have a 540 alcohol-blown Chevy motor. *grin* I've been into the building & racing thing for quite some time now. I currently work as an auto tech. It's nice to see other totally blind folks doing the same thing, no offense intended.

Steve, Just a quick profile. I have 25+ years as a factory service tech for Porsche, currently retired. My girl friend drag races a 1956 Corvette clone running a 604CID big-block. We are about to launch our third season both with the bette and with each other. I am a died-in-the-wool hot rodder with a number of build ups resto-mods and build-ups to my credit. Currently my personal favorite is my 1980 El Camino running a 383 small block stroker, GM aluminum fast burn heads, Holley digital fuel injection and as of my last commission check an Airflow Research supercharger. There is a whole bunch more inside the block but I don't want to bore the wood guys on the list. This is strictly a show-and-shine car with hopes of going on the hot-rod power tour when it grows up.

GILL, You are showing your age... We used to do that to air filters back in the day when gasoline was .030 per gallon, labor rates were $12.00 per hour and you couldn't get that COPO Malibu under 12.04 no matter how hard you tried. Your secret is safe with the list. *smile* -----Original Message----- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gil Laster Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 12:28 PM To: Post to Blind Handyman Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Re: Car repair. There have been recent posts about the $40 price of replacement automobile interior air filters. I have a 2004 Toyota with an interior air filter that is accessed through the glove compartment. The filter feels like durable synthetic material folded like an accordion. I periodically remove it, vacuum it off, and if my wife says that it still looks dirty I gently wash it. So far I have not bought a new one. - Gil Laster Charlotte, NC [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/JAWS/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ If you would like to join the JAWS Users List, then visit the following address for more information: http://www.jaws-users.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
