Maybe if a few of us can give John a positive rep votes, it''ll help boost his rep value a little.... doesn't cost anything and I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

 

I would be happy to. How does one do that?

 

Just go to any post he's made and at the top right you'll see two icons...one is a medal (positive) and the other is a red bell (negative). Click on the medal and it takes you to John's CP where it logs the positive and gives you a little block to add a brief comment.

ADDED NOTE....I see that someone must have taken exception to my attempts to help you...they gave me a negative rep, and I've gone back to see where I might have pissed someone off....can't figure it out....

 

Thanks Chuck and Patrick.

Patrick, don't beat yourself up over this - as is said..."all's well that ends well" and I feel this has ended well for both of us...time to move on and enjoy our cars.

Mine is in storage for the winter, but I spent a couple of hours wrenching on it today and really enjoyed the experience. I'm getting ready for spring!
