Fluid Technician with a hat
I just can't get anything done anymore, since becoming an addict, I mean member of this site. I almost ran off the first few times I dealt with Stan, he scared me because of my modified car views vs his puritanical beliefs of preservation. "How can I fit in with a bunch of guys who have no place for a vehicle with a non numbers matching engine, trans, front seat, rear end? I persisted in my hunting to find another of my kind, and after much searching was relieved to find another member who was bucking the trend, and putting the wrong parts in a car. That gave me hope and I continued on. I only cried a few times early on when the members preached from on high not to mess with what the Gods had given us (with a noticeable exception for ATC II) but I soon grew thicker skin. I could stand up to the masses and preach my cause. I even started to contribute to those who shared my beliefs, and I learned we had greater numbers than I thought. I was now fearless about my passion and soon the elders accepted my irrational train of thought, still pointing out inaccuracies, to help me "learn".
Well, at some point, I started to read their doctrines, and slowly began to agree with many of the key principles. Next thing you know, I'm seriously looking at, and studying these untouched examples, and start thinking, "I should get something like this!". Did I drink too many beers? Not enough?
And one day, I found a nice balance, I can stick with my modified stuff,and if the chance presents itself, I can think about something original joining the family. But til the current fleet gets roadworthy, that option has been shelved.
Which brings me to the point of this rambling post, since I've determined that I have to get my fleet on the road and the Polara is the furthest along, I come here for my info and parts. This site has helped me out immensely, with parts, with help repairing things, tips and techniques, and also a good laugh when needed. But it's addicting, to the point I see someone looking for something, I might have a lead and I go chase it. For hours! And my project sits patiently waiting. Yeah I know it's all my fault, I lost control! I love the sight and will never quit. Too much good stuff to pass up.
