There's just enough Army in the Army Corps of Engineers that I learned quickly not to rock their boat. Even if your method was better than theirs.
Going to be a low mile zephyr in my shop shortly. Owner says a/c is still cold...
12 years in the Navy. Don't have to tell me....... Those dumb *** lieutenants ! 90 day wonders!!! "You need to do it like this" "I have been doing it this way, per manual, for 10 years!". "Don't countermand me"! Crap..........
When it messes up, "why did you do it like this?" LT. whoever told me to. "dont listen to those dumb *** guys again" OK. Till the next time.....All over again!

It seems to transcend to ALL the Federal agencies. I had the same issues on FAA projects. Over test everything, even though the numbers sucked in the modern world, it was Right On the numbers in their world.

Y'all have a grand day. Good luck wit AAA Tim.
Not really buck the system, but use the system against themselves. Success is yet to be determined but prospects are good
more like red quick sand
Yep
common sense is not common in the military12 years in the Navy. Don't have to tell me....... Those dumb *** lieutenants ! 90 day wonders!!! "You need to do it like this" "I have been doing it this way, per manual, for 10 years!". "Don't countermand me"! Crap..........

Buddy’s daughter asked why there is a new bumper on that old duster. I said its not new, its how they chromed stuff 45 years ago...
AAA just left the shop. Cant get accurate repair costs till it is disassembled. . Going to be close to a total..... 250 hour shop rates at my shop of choice. Body paint rate 325 hour. Good thing for insurance. The adjuster crapped when he found out the were insuring BOTH cars!
Back on 2nd shift....
Off to work...

well that dude's insurance just went thru the roof too. it varies from insurance company to insurance company but did he tell you what the process for buying it back was IF they'd total it
73 318 2 barrell. A B c and E bodies
- Just trying to decide what else to pull off this before it gets scrapped. So. small blocks for dummies-probably 318, but how can I positively tell what motor and if heads or manifolds etc are anything special?
Time for another project.
No matter what you do that car will never be the same.
Take the money and run.
@Mopar Tim here's a solid starter for you...
FOR SALE - 1964 Dodge 440 2dr HT Roller
honestly, if he drops it another grand, I may have to jump on it... use it for parts for mine...
No I will take the money, buy it back for the scrap price fix it and pocket the rest. Will make out at least 18 grand to the good. It is insured for 28 Grand. No way it will cost me 10 grand to repair.
