  I know what you mean by the wife...I dont have a wife, I got rid of 
her crap over 6 years ago...but I do have a Father who dont 
understand. He has his trains which takes up the whole basement, and 
he dont understand how difficult it is to find parts for these old 
cars and if you do how much they cost. He can spend 600 bucks for a 
locomotive and wait 3 and a half years to get it and when he FINALLY 
gets it..it dont work right. :( I felt sorry for him, he is my father 
and I am very-very thank full that I still have him. I just wish he 
was a little more understanding with me and my projects. We do get 
along though. The fedex man just showed up and I got my new grille 
and I got a swaybar for my Gremlin, that came also. Thats a good idea 
about the jig. Gonna have to try to build myself one. I aint no 
capenter thats for shure. I would be lucky to make a "square" box! 
LOL! I found out also that the rag or cloth that I have to use to 
clean those buckets (or anything for that matter!) with have to not 
have any lose strings. I believe that is what caught and cracked it 
even more. Gotta run and check out that new grille and sway bar!! 
Catcha later! Bill Lewiston Id.
