    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Sorry?Looking at my post I know it was not clear what I meant.I was just making sure I was clear.I really like the idea of a red skunk so in my mind she is now the Red Skunk.

It was just a polite 'sorry.' I didn't really mean it.*

Side to side without a trace of notches.Tried the threaded rod technique to get the the neck races in.They insisted on cocking ,so I applied the brute force and ignorance technique.In my case a 3lbs club hammer and a piece of 3/4 plywood.

Now I can get the rest together.Going to a buddies tomorrow and if he can get insurance we will go riding.May do stuff after but Sunday is more likely.
Seen my paint colour today.Most metallic reds are a more maroon colour that I'm not that fond of.Toyota has one I really like.A real red with metal flakes in it

That red used to be a Lexus only color. I painted my '65 Skylark the same color.
Garnet Pearl Metallic. ;)

It is beautiful!
