Oli it was so nice meeting you along with Mr. Fusion. I apologize for not hanging around longer. I had a laundry list of items and ended up being there Fri until 4pm. Mind you I got there at 7am and only walked the parts rows. Honestly I have been going for 15/16yrs and I have never walked the show field. Seeing finished beauties doesn't inspire me it bugs me, LOL. Maybe next year I can bring my son Major are we can all hang again.


P.S. I hope your shop helper recovered fully from her injury

She is fine. Workers comp covered Dr. Tim's expenses and all further follow up treatments.

It was great to meet you and talk Mopars with you freight train.
My daughter is a pretty tough cookie so the blister between the toes barely slowed her down. Tim was a champ with the first aid kit.
We bought some other sandals at the show that didn't have the toe piece and she was good to go for the rest of the weekend.
The blister looked clean and healing up well this morning.
We know how my little Mopar tech hates foot gear.

Tim, I have been using those hot sauces on all my meals since the show…Good stuff.
I have found that I need to be careful on how much of the "Taste[?] the Reaper" sauce I use on my food.. Otherwise my lips burn for half an hour.
Thanks man!

No problem! My buddies website is on the bottle label if you need to resupply. The Tame the Reaper sauce is sneaky...gotta be careful with it. I was wondering how it tasted on goat chops?


I sent you a PM about the red arm rest.


It was really nice to put a face to a name for the DTR folks! Like Freight Train said: I was surprised at the ages of most of us. Thot we'd be older!
And I finally got to meet Tman and his lovely wife Cathy.

Missed Carlisle 2016 due to weather related replanting issues.
J.Fonder, Boeingguy, G1625S & myself were supposed to make it up together.
We planned to bring moose steaks, Lexington BBQ, tools to help and 'shine.
Looking forward to next year with the boys.

Nope to the first 2! Jury is still out on the last one.
I did find electric door panels to match my spice (?) interior.
Did NOT find a factory diesel tach laying in a box of other stuff for $40.
Didn't find one at all actually. Found a couple other odds and ends.

Selfishness and fear of being cleaned out overcomes.

Fusion why didn't you say something about the panels. There was a guy at the end of one of the aisles that had a complete club cab spice LE interior for sale. Seats/center console along with all other pieces. I believe he was asking in the $500 range though (ouch). I have bought complete cabs for that!!!!

Also even though I have one sitting for my next project I was also keeping an eye out for a factory tach. Although I had a strict Barracuda list I was trying my hardest to stick too this year, LOL. First gen stuff was rare up there this year. Last year I scored a good condition Warn winch bumper for $115 and the guy was nice enough to let me use his hand dolly to haul it out to the RC. This year I was searching for a regular red Lund visor for a RC/CC/CC to replace the lighted version on my RC so I could then add a set of factory 1st gen clearance lights. I think having both would look silly. I found two regular cab red visors and had to educate both sellers that a reg cab visor was all to itself.

RAM, that was the guy Tim bought the door panels from.
I also tried to buy just the spice colored center console from him, but he didn't want to break up the seat set.

Tim, Charlotte and I have been loving the Tame the Reaper hot sauce!
Thanks again.
