Yep, back on the farm we had the iron skillet from my grandmother, we rendered the lard from butchering our hogs, we raised our own chickens, fed from the corn and wheat we grew on the farm and we made our own butter. Now, I ask you, eating like that, how in the hell did my grandfather live to be 89 years old, my father lived to be 94 years old and I will be 77 next month? humfrz |

Thanks @soundman98, sounds like replacing the entire fixtures would be easiest in my case. There are only 3 and are 30 years old.

Super sweet write up about Indonesia's Black Auto Battle. Was pretty meh until I saw the Beetle and the lingerie pattern engraved turbo! Not my flavor but, some wicked attention to details.

I probably should read it again too. It's probably been 20 years, and I bet I'll understand completely different things now.

Yeah I’m right there with you. Though I doubt these cars see much road time. At that point, their only purpose is show. Pretty much a super expensive canvas. But yeah super cool
