Oh no! Someone's using a rubber mallet on the windshield chrome.....We must do something!!!

I have this story to share. I was working in the garage with my 3yo son. I noticed he was putting something in a bolt hole on the engine that was on its stand.
Upon further inspection he had 3 needle bearings (from I don't know where) and had them stuck into an empty bolt hole..... Not knowing where these came from or how many others there were. I could't chance them not being in the spark plug holes and had to remove the heads to inspect.

Ever heard the one about the dude using a rubber mallet on a windshield?
.....oh,....sorry....uhh heh.

AustinScott · 12-30-2011, 01:50 AM

well, I needed new front springs for my truck, So I called and placed my order, while on the phone, I'm talked into buying all new rear springs and misc items. So I say what the hell, and spend the money.
Wait 5 days for the stuff to arrive, open the boxes and find all the parts but the front springs I needed, notice a receipt in one of the boxes I take a look at it, it say...
1 set of front springs - back ordered 7-10 day lead time.

JUST my LUCK!!!!!

( this happened yesterday)

cdowns · 12-30-2011, 07:26 AM

that is why i've always called the glass guy and get new ones with a warrenty

bobs409 · 12-30-2011, 07:45 AM

exactly why I won't install a new windshield in anything with the rubber gasket. Stick in's I'll do but not these. I simply am not THAT lucky!

Sorry, no good jokes to cheer you up.

Oh do not feel bad Yesterday I was grinding a new cam in my shop and uh oh Grinding a 4-7 swap to find out it was for a ford. Just glad it did not make it out the door. Not to many ford lovers in my area.

I bought a Nissan pickup with a bad engine and needing a front fender to flip and sell. It also had a bad windshield and I had poked a stick through the windshield of my '83 K20 on a job (long story) so I needed glass fast. I got a package deal with the glass guy to come do both at my house and had my truck glass and the transportation paid for so all I had to pay was the difference between 1 replacement and 2. Then I went and bought the fender for the Nissan and had it painted off the truck. When I was getting the old fender off, the corner hit the brand new glass and cracked it. I sold it with the corner cracked. I feel your pain.

I put a non vented gas cap on my Nova once... who'd think the fuel pump would suck the gas tank FLAT. 'Course I changed the fuel pump AND the needle & seat in the carb before I discovered the flat tank.
