If some of the $$ goes towards this site as well, I'd donate some 3D printed items for it. Could be e-bodies.org keychains/tokens or other e-bodies merch ????

Visibility is everything, the old store link years ago was easy to see. I completely forgot this other one was out there and it's hard to make sales for the upkeep.
The only thing flat earthers fear, is sphere itself.

Quote from: ec_co on March 11, 2025, 08:33:19 PMIs it linked anywhere on the site for long term reference? It should be in the drop down menu

Don't know.
@TwitchisMental @Cuda Cody can you help?
Regarding the ebodiesshop store.

Tagging @7E-Bodies for this as well

I had tried to get it somehow linked on this site, but I don't think it ever happened. It would be nice, because my son built and runs the site and he's financially upside down in it. That doesn't make him look good as a marketing major in his senior year! Last year I think he kicked in a couple hundred out of pocket just to keep it going another year and I think those site fees are coming up again soon. We had originally thought there'd be a lot more interest since so many had been asking @Cuda Cody if there was going to be anywhere to get merch after the last opportunity closed.

Hope it can be brought back to life.
FYI my previous offer stands...

I went out to Princess Auto and bought the floor jack transmission adapter with an eye to trying to get the 4 speed back in and found that the pivot for the adapter has a shaft something like 1.3" in diameter and my old Blackhawk's like nearly 2". SOB! Got the bride to help load the trans onto the jack and strapped it as best as I could. Envision the tailshaft pointing back at the handle while I tried to jack it up with my leg and guide it into the bellhousing/throwout bearing/clutch and input bearing. Fun? Wow, and I wondered how in the hell we used to do it, sometimes by ourselves, back in the day. The answer of course was that we were stronger and more agile! Anyways, I got the SOB in most of the way, but couldn't get the last 1.5"! after 2-3 hours of grunting/cussin' I called 'er a day and will wait for son Nick to get back and give the old man a hand. Trans 1, old man 0.  :headbang:

Since all the rust repair is complete, got the engine bay painted this week with the few really nice days we had. Color is 2020 Dodge Hell Raisin.

If I hadn't gotten it in as far as I did Brad, I'd be taking you up on your kind and generous offer buddy. Thx!  :bigthumb:
