This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    my 70sportwagon "babe" is still wearing her original shade of blue. the firewall tag very bottom line is 12A if i read it right. can anyone tell me what shade of blue this is? :Dou:

    in 70 the choices were :
    # 20 azure blue(kinda sky blue
    #25 Gulfstream blue (mid blue)
    #26 Stratomist blue (mid to darker)
    #26 Diplomat blue (dark)
    I think you misread the line because there is no code 12 A (which A would have been a white top)I believe the 12 A is the build time 1st week in december.
