  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Their last board activity was on the day they have posted this, so they probably do not use e-mail conformation for replies and PM's.

    Hello, sorry for not replying. I only get notified by email when someone private messages me. I'm not sure how to change it so that I get emails when replies are posted.

    I have lowered the price to $7,800.00.

    And just by the way, the car picture in my avatar is the 68 Buick that I am selling if that helps give a first look! :)
