(the guy who wanted the Camaro 327 backed out because someone told him it wouldn't fit in place of a 350!) My turn signals mount into the apron of the rad saddle and not the grill. I'll be watching wrecking yards for a ring to fit the rectangular lights. what's the current value of these grilles? I bought a complete setup... I think I paid $150 for it... maybe it was $200... no, had to be only $150, I'm too cheap to have spent that much. ;) john On Sat, 5 Mar 2005, Greg Loxtercamp wrote: >-->Hey Brad, You are right (of course).

Hey there John and fellow listers... Sorry for the delay, my PC power supply smoked, sparked and arced a couple of weeks ago at powerup and fried the main board and all attached components. Had to replace mainboard, ram, processor, harddrive (2), DVD Recorder and CD ROM, even the floppy was toast. That thing must have shot big current through things as it croaked... So I spent the last couple of weeks trying to rebuild and get back online.... I just tried to get on the FC group page in Yahoo and even though I logged in and checked mail, the groups pages don't recognize me being logged in and I can't RElog in on the groups pages either for some reason.... so I can't get to the members-only archives right now. But if anyone is really interested, and assuming it is still available, ... Just send email to sherryedan-at-aol.com and see if Daniel still has it... his phone is at the bottom of the email too...
