    hey i'm not trying to step on any toes. i just want to find some portawalls. i was unaware of the serious nature of the protocol around here. i'm just a "car guy" trying to find a "car part". so i'm not going to bicker back and forth with you fellows. i guess you folks aren't real accepting of outsiders into your elite club. so thanks.

    man, maybe you guys should spend less time on the computer and some more time builing cars. sorry i'm not a geek with the computer like you guys. thought you folks might actually know where to find some obscure parts, but you all did no better searching than i did. i thought maybe you knew some real gearheads that had some porta walls hiding away in there garage. i guess not though. i'll leave you fellas to your "cyber hot rod building". THANK YOU.

    If your insulting our knowladge of hot rod building, dont ket the door hit you when you log off. We have used are best of knowladge to help you, Streets went out of his way and looked for sites that may contain the product you requested. If you read streets disclaimer you'll notice in the first line it says " this reply comes with no gaurantee expressed or implied " so that means the sites Streets lead you to were not GAURANTEED to have the product in which you were looking for.

    Hey Atomic, if you don't have any luck, you might consider the trip to the big swap meet in Pa. I think it's in Hershey. Someone will correct me if I am wrong. It's a big huge deal for all the resto guys, might be able to find a set there.

    It don't mean that at all, IT was just something Pat wrote and I copied over to my signature that I change all the time.. It's more of a smaudass remark if anythang.. hehehe... I just wish that before these newbies ask a question on CHR that they at least do a websearch... but, MOST of them can't do that.. That's what I did when I didn't understand what you meant by a "Suicide hood" and found out that it was slang for "cantilevered" hood found on Buicks of the '90's.. Yer lucky tho, when I ask a question I only get in the neighborhood of 2-3 people to answer it..
    I knew you diddn't mean that disclamier but I found a way to use it on attomic clutch to get him to stop insulting our knowladge of hotrodding, looks like it might have worked too. Sorry if I offended you Streets, I meant not to offend you or any other good members in any way.

    hey matt167, why don't you and your buddy streets go chat about off topic stuff somewhere other than this post. i believe they call that "whoring a post". if my computer geek slang serves me correct. i'm sorry i'm not as well versed in proper chat room behavior as you to professionals are. i'm just trying to find some parts. so with all due respest, BUZZ OFF!

    atomicclutch, I looked also for portawalls and found that Lucas auto in california stocks them for pt crusiers, I found this on http://www.ptcruiserclub.org/forum/P...ls%5D_P162717/ The forum that this is dated on is jan 10 and the person said they were out at that point but, mabey now that it's almost a month later. I hope this helps you. I guess I may have went a little hard on ya and, as long as you don't insult our knowladge and keep one post per question, I'll try to help ya. I do not wish to sturr up the past.
