    Senior Chief has taught me everything I know. There is a "Blazing Saddles" Slim Pickens quote that comes to mind, but I'll keep that one floating around in my head.

    Well FINALLY got the ole girl fired up yesterday after a 2.5 week struggle/set back of trying to get not 1 but 3 TAIWAN made and CHINA assembled tilt steering columns to work correctly until we got pissed off and bought a USA made one!!!!
    Purred like a kitten, drove like a Go Kart with 200 HP.
    Just needs a little carb adjustment and a check on why it's not charging, simple fix then get the AC charged up and drive it around to get some miles on it!

    Looking great TJ. You have outdone yourself!

    The quality of parts being dumped into this country is appalling.

    Thanks Guys!!!

    It is frustrating, I guess it all boils down to you get what you pay for!!!
    The part that really made us mad was 2 of them were from Summit and they weren’t anything like they were advertised on the website……..

    It used to be the places like Summit looked at the products they sourced form China. It seems now they pass them right to us to check out, review and send back.

    First, The Orange Crush and now The Grey Ghost. You have a knack for putting together pretty vehicles. Double WOW!! Attaboy - we can say that here - not "Attaperson"!

    Now we need to see a pretty lady in it to top it off.

    Just be careful with that 200 HP Go-Kart.... Don't let the Grandkids do donuts in the front yard.

    Yeah, but who will the neighbors talk about 20 years from now, the guy who kept his lawn nice or the guy who ripped sick donuts in a 70 year old jeep!! And it's got a roll cage and safety harnesses, what could go wrong.

    Man TJ, that thing is shaping up quick! It's looking great! I'll bet it will run down the road very nicely.

    No donuts in the yard guys around here!!!!
    The neighbors only get impressed when we fire up the shifter kart and buzz up and down the street and burn donuts on the asphalt
    Well maybe not impressed as much as pissed to the point they had the city put up a 25 MPH sign up
