Then drop a small block in one of them....
It will fool the casual passerby anyway.Paint them the same color as the engine...
Some grinding, epoxy and iron filings will be needed to fool those a little more knowledgble...
Hey Karl,
Waddabout you???
You have a running smallblock in an A-body?
Not ready to drive yet...
The closest that we have is the oldest son's engine is in and runs, but his car needs lots of work before it's ready to drive...
He needs to have an exhaust system installed, then have some body work done and have it painted... He decided to strip all the paint down to the bare sheet metal a few years back and now it's got some surface rust and the windshield is removed... He's on a tight budget right now barely earning enough to cover his car payment, insurance, credit card, and tool bill... So he's not able to save much to fix his car... But he's being more independent at least...
I expect that they will fire me from work next week, so I can't help him with any $$$$...

that dont sound good
You piss in someones Cheerios?
Yep, after I made a phone call to corporate HR, they have been riding my *** and telling me I'm not performing well... This is after I got a personal letter from the general manager in Nov on how my work attitude has improved and they are noticing that I'm doing a great job...
It's amazing how I can go from doing a great job to a slacker in less than two weeks after getting the "great job" letter... Right after making a phone call to HR....
Sounds Like a lot of BULLSHIT...to me......

I'm sure somebody will find him attractive enough for that job.

Ruh Roh. Call HR again? tell them you're being retaliated against?
Fair enough. Can't give you a like with that finish.
Just given ya hard time for giving the other guys a hard time...Sorry, I was answering other threads...
Should see if your pal Eddie would go to the strip.
Yep...
The day I made the phone call I had to face off against 4 supervisors in the office... One of them actually committed what I can prosecute him for simple batter against me...
Ever since then they give me a time limit for me to unload the trucks... Some of the times are unreasonable... If I don't make the time they call me into the office and tell me I'm not working hard enough, even if I have reasons for not getting things done: like having to wait for the bulk puller to get off the overhead crane that we both need to do our job... Or that I try to take the time to unload the stock properly so I don't damage it, have a near miss, or tip the forklift over by taking too much weight... But that's not good enough reason for them...
They accused me of only packaging three orders in the structural department within 2 1/2 hours which was total bs... I told them to pull up the video and see - of course they refused because the video would have proven that I was right.. I deburred and packaged all the orders that were backed up in the structural department by the end of the shift and stood around for 10 minutes at the end of the shift looking for something to do...
They also accused me of not packaging in truck order that day when I was... Funny, none of the others that have deburred and packaged in structural have been told or written up for not packaging in truck order... Hmmm...
They called me in the office two weeks ago and told me that it's my final warning before termination... I have not even been given time off yet/suspended, but I'm one step away from getting terminated....
They have a witch hunt on for me and are trying to get rid of me...
It will be a relief if they do walk me out as I won't have to put up with their bull **** anymore... Then I can collect some unemployment on them and take some CAD classes for a while....
They also got rid of a few other veterans in the last week for similar reasons... One guy was only one month from being vested for pension... That guy is the brother of the guy that taught my youngest son to work on motorcycles...
Then they wonder why they are understaffed and are having trouble finding workers....
or is that chickensh!t 'cause its so petty.
Bet they make it a layoff. Depends what they think they can get away with.
Firing (ie with cause) lets 'em wiggle out of paying into unemployment. That was always my understanding.
But I think they get bigger problems if they try to cheat people out of unemployment by 'firing' when they let people go.
Maybe others here know more
I'm thinking of pressing charges against the supervisor and having him taken out of work in handcuffs... That will get their attention better....
I have to see if I can still press charges since it happened in early Dec...

wow. i hate lawyers and lawsuits, but this stinks of one. I'd press criminal charges just to send the message

do it!
Sounds like a great reason for a age discrimination lawsuit.
I've already talked to the general manager and plant manager and they claim that they are not being retaliated against... They have more influence over HR than I do...
