Thanks again, John... I'll try and do ya proud on this one! :cool:
Ditto with what some others have said. Probably shit in your tank. Went through this exact thing with my Merc this weekend, getting it running...
Thanks Bob! But I ain't "movin' on" to anything... I've had my Merc for about 6 years. Longer than a couple of my VWs. I figure if someone...
Ok, count me in... '54 Merc door hardtop with stock 256 y-block/merc-o-matic trans. Gotta drop her down a little after the tire swap :D...
I don't know how you do it, Ryan... but I'm thankful that you do. Congrats on another big milestone, man.

A fellow club member knows I'm a big fan and gave me this signed hat last year. :cool: [IMG]
Yep, that's the part that worries me. I'm just hoping that the growth doesn't make it out that way for a LONG time. You've been there, you...
We have one about 20-25 minutes away (the Rodeo Drive-in). Been going to it since I was a kid. http://www.rodeodrivein.com/ Opened up in...
Actually, I just had my first "banging head against wall" moment the last couple days with trying to get a new member sorted out on my forum that...
Courtesy of the O'Briens... **Edit** Just noticed you already had our plaque listed after I posted this... Ooops! [IMG]
I can't even imagine what you're going through right now... You and your family are in my prayers. I'm so sorry for your loss, Jesse. ~Steve
