DeTomaso Mailing List: April 99, Message #48

Hi People!

     I thought I'd see if I could still get something out in Swedish ( I
dated an EXTREMELY good looking guy named Sven Carlsen when I was in high
school who's mother spoke nothing but Swedish, picked some up, but
apparently not enough.  Won't try to be
 funny any more ( at least for a while ;-} ).  

    OK, on to the next subject:  The Chassis Braces.
    Boy, am I MIFFED!    how come in two page ad in the POCA newsletter
it's $149
for the rear upper braces without the diagonals and on the other page
where you get 
all four braces for $850 the upper rear brace with the diagonals is $199?
 $50 bucks
for two 8" pieces of tubing?? They're not even welded to the brace!! 
They're in the bottom of the box and not even painted or notched for
attaching to the other pieces!  And I gotta
get the paint off the other pieces to weld them in and paint em again. 
Sh*t!
     I called Hall but aside from the guy on the phone sounding very
bored he said I had to
notch and weld myself, Sh*t, a do it yourself kit.
    And the lower front brace, doesn't it bolt in by the lower A-arm
studs like the lower rear?
In Kirby's little discourse he mentioned plug welding it in.  
   I can't think of anything else right now since I got my blood pressure
up.  When S.O. 
and I try and install the darn things this weekend I'm sure I'll have
more questions.
And there are on instructions, not that I expected any.

P.S. I've never gotten anything from Hall that didn't go in without some
help, be
it hammer, file or foul language.
