... that's why they call me Grump.

'Fact, I was really grumpy early today when my shiny new grille came in from airbagit.com and I discovered those people apparently think a Chrysler Town & Country is the same as a Dodge Caravan. Which brought me to this fine forum and I'll shut up about my grille woes until I post in the appropriate forum for it.

Hmmmm, can't seem to find the "They Screwed Up My Order" forum.

Well, I might not even be in the right place 'cause my car is a 2001 Chrysler T&C, but dang it, it's a hot rod to me. I have been very slowly trying to modify it here an' there. It still looks like a soccer-mom car mostly, but it don't ride like one and I'm hoping I can turn it into a very cool ride. Here's what it looks like now (yeah, that's me on my other ride):


Mods you can't see are a thick shag carpet (I mean really shaggy), a larger diameter cat-back system and the beginnings of a hotter ignition system from MSD - gotta build a cold air ram first. The wanna-do list is too long.

I started customizing model cars in the 60s and hopped up a few of my cars over the years, but I just never seemed to have the time to do one up really nice. Been in the flooring business for 35 years and recently was forced into retirement because of lung disease (that's what that hose in my nose is for). Now that I have the time for a full-on mod, I don't have the money I used to have.

My other interest is in building websites and I run a nice little flooring professional and consumer oriented forum at www.TheFloorPro.com . I've been involved in computers and the Net since '92 and really enjoy it.

My home is the real Northern California, in a little place called Quincy, which is a short drive from Reno, NV. I like shooting pictures, especially if I can get a pretty girl to be in it, so I hope to decorate my posts here with images (most will be sans model).

Thanks for being here and I hope me and my T&C will be welcome (if not, please tell me where to go for customizing advice).

Later,

Jim
