  1. A guy I used to work with was an established grower, had it all down to a science and produced the maximum allowable for "personal medical" consumption. Once it became legalized here, before long he stopped growing and just bought from the legal suppliers. The legality made it easy to switch. Personally I was surprised as I figured he could have made the leap to becoming a legalized grower/supplier. Frankly I like it being legalized and that I can stop into a "dispensary" and buy a small amount that satisfies my infrequent want. I rarely smoke anymore (high school was long ago) and only know a couple guys who smoke at all. Societal shift, just like not getting drunk every weekend. We age, we mature. Doesn't mean we don't enjoy.
  2. Mathematically? Did you base this fact on a single spot in the US or just anywhere? Does that include Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico? And who said anything about China? Aw shucks, I still have a globe of the earth so I can use straight lines and see where the heck you would have to start your digging. Unless you are one of those "Flat Earth" types - just the thing for draining the swamp... “If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.” ― Steven Wright
  3. Simply the trade war doesn't factor into Tommy's world, GA itself does very little trade with Canada in either percentage or dollars. No Canadian would want to spend their winters there - Florida or California coasts or the desert of Arizona. It certainly effects others to large extents. Translation: Tommy's viewpoint carries little concern to the big picture. No impact = nothing to complain about.
  4. Well that idea was totally off and remains until maybe next spring!
  5. I just tried as well, no go. Is it dead Mike???
  6. FWIW, a large scale very complex job will require a significant amount of money mated up with serious skills. Then add lots of time + frustration. Mix that all up and pour it into a fairly well equipped shop. If that sounds like you then sure it can be done. Lacking in any of those departments and the project won't get finished. The outline you started with will need to be addressed specifically. The 240Z is essentially a unibody with front and rear subframes, which right off means extensive cutting. Got the coin I'd start by figuring out a tube chassis that could have a new aftermarket body adapted for 2 big reasons: 1) no rust to contend with and 2) not cutting up an original shell. Custom REPLACEMENT COMPLETE CAB IN PRIMER LHD, 1969-1973, FOR NISSAN DATSUN 240Z Suppliers, OEM/ODM Factory - Jiangsu Juncheng Vehicle Industry Co., Ltd. Everything you would do would be using aftermarket not OEM bits anyway. My opinion...
  7. Managed to spend a bit of time getting the electrics cleaned up and tidied. While still a work in progress, I had to do some test fitting before I commit to all the what-fits-where for final connections. The Befores: The essentially After I think I'll make some end caps for the shelf though you really can't get into the forward end, so maybe just the back end. My vision is coming together
  8. Long story short - years ago briefly owned a '75 F100 4x that used (1 year only) a power ram in addition to the PS box. More hoses than necessary but maybe it worked? oh yea, 1 yr only so let's assume not. Anyhow, the PO figured the way to seal the leaking ram was to weld on it?? WTF? You could literally watch the PS fluid pour right back out. Took it for a spin and had the Death Wobble so bad I had to come to a full stop, then creeped it right back to the dudes driveway and demanded my money back. Yup, all that mess on the street was it marking its spot. Too bad, had a 390 with 4speed granny low.
  9. I watched several videos ppl trying to dye the fabric without real success. What I learned was to do it proper and so it lasts, you gotta take the fabric off, soak it in the dye then wash it after with a bunch of salt in the rinse to set the color. LIKE THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE DYE PACKAGE. Since the general application is for clothes, putting a whole seat cover in your laundry machine doesn't really work well, or might be grounds for divorce. Nothing else seems to really work, and I expect mine will not last forever but should hold for a few years after the multiple steps I did (4x steam cleaning, 4x spraying the fabric + brushing the fabric after each application).
  10. With the November mid-terms coming up, simply stated I have some concerns and no I am not an American so I have no skin in the game. Regardless of your personal political views, there is a storm brewing only 2 months distant. It is likely that if the vote doesn't go Trumps way, there will be another round of "stolen" election claims and another storming of the Capital. Will the next American Civil War begin then? When the US Democracy goes to hell in a handbag, that will be a perfect opportunity for America's biggest and longest sworn enemies (North Korea/Russia/China) to really sandbag the US Economy. Are safeguards in place that don't rely on politicians or billionaires to hold firm?
  11. I've seen many of these models in the Mexican market, a very common work truck and often fitted with a variety of different boxes/decks on them. Still on the road and still hard at work.

    Looks like a good reason to explore!
  13. Do you smell burnt toast?
  14. Guess my mind was leading me astray!
  15. Cool thought but wouldn't work in this setup as you have to turn the key to ON first, then hit the momentary. People might think you got something hidden if you gotta step out during the start proceedure. Lots of switches that could be used, like even the PTT on a CB mike... like you gotta whisper to the van before you can start her up
