  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

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    Nice to hear about a company that stands behind their product. Seems so rare these days.

    It's interesting that looking at the Digit-tails website they appear to offer two different items for 1970-71 Skylark and 1972 Skylark, yet your board clearly say 1970-1972.

    I wonder if they changed the board for better fit?

    Emailed DIGI-TAILS Friday for status of repair and asked if it was too late to order a pair of reverse light leds to ship back with the displays and which ones better fit my application. Received reply that boards should be fixed by end of day and will be shipped Monday. As for the bulbs he’s putting in two projector back up bulbs FREE. Talk about going above and beyond for a customer.

    Steve, I hope you find some thick gaskets. The TA re-pros I bought many years ago (2006) were way too thin. I doubled them up with the old original gaskets to get them to seal.

    The seals in my other car were thicker and I’ll reuse them. Still in good shape even though they’re 20 years old.

    Well, if you pay his price, and then take what he did to be fixed by a good shop, you might have $100k in it.

    He seems to be in his own alternate universe....but if he has plenty of business, why not.......I would never take anything to him after watching many of the shows. I can see that there are many "car guys" who can't turn a wrench with plenty of $$$ that are happy to take stuff to him tho. Overpriced and not REAL quality.

    He wouldn't know a correctly done paint job if it bit him on the dick,...we are allowed to mark up parts 25% over list by the insurance,....if it's customer pay I just charge list price,...I get 30% discount from most my vendors,... can't rob people like others do,....guess that's why I can't run two nickels together 90% of the time ha

    You can look yourself in the mirror and live with that person...

    It is hard to believe how much gouging is going on in hurricane devastated area. Most the roofing contractors are raping people, unreal.
