Just met 'passthebuck' today. He made the long journey down to MN to pick up some bucket seats for his truck. Seems like a pretty good guy. Its always fun to meet other members. Hope it was a good trip through all this snow we are getting! Eric

I've done some parts hunting down in that area also...couple decent yards down there. I'll probably head that way again come late spring. Maybe we will meet.

Let me know when you are coming down or give me a heads up on parts you may need. (not the impossible parts to find)

it was cool to meet you too eric - I made it home a-ok but I'm all strungout from the cannonball run there & back. They took the seat out of the jeep & x-rayed it at the border. I was floored to see an x-ray machine the size of 1/3 of a tractor trailer that you could fit an office desk into. The guy showed me the picture - it was amazing! The border guy was able to disect the seat layer-by-layer (vinyl, foam, wood, metal). No contraban was found & was home by 6pm. Thanx again eric - we'll do bidness again!

Glad you made it home allright, we got 6-7" of snow since you left and still snowing! Good thing there was no contraband in the seat, but at least with the x-rays you know the condition of the seat, inside and out!!! Have a good one.

Greg came up here to pick up his Orange 67. I hunted it down , took some pics for him and within a couple days he was on the bus and heading north. I have nothing but top regards for him and would recommend anyone to do business with him. Hey Greg did you get my e-mail about your chopper??
