Re: T/S/D Rally



Damn it! Sounds like fun... I was in the middle of PA playing a show- No 
way to make it.  I WILL do the next one...

Give me a call at 732.628.4040 (w) or 732.968.2310 (h) to pick up those 
springs. Ive also have a GTI heater box & core you can have- how 'bout a 
coffee can full of various pulleys?  I'm movin, so if you don't want 'em 
they're goin in the trash...  I could probably even bring them to 
Brunswick- I park in the SEARS parking lot when i go to work- maybe that 
would be a good place to meet?  Either that or you could take the trek 
to Piscataway....
