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

    Excellent!

    Let me know when it's done, how it'll function and which form of payment you prefer.

    Good to know Jim. I'll have a couple AM/FM's to send you sooner or later. Also have a box of AM's if you need them.

    He replied to my pm the next day. I told him I"d be in contact once I was able to pull the radio out of my car that's in storage for the winter.

    I was under the impression he was going to use one he found to do for me.

    Maybe he's just busy.

    I noticed Jim hasn’t visited here recently. Has anyone been in contact with him?

    He repaired my AM/FM radio and 8 track back in November 2021. Had no issues. Shipped out Nov 1 and had it back just before Thanksgiving.

    I installed an am/fm 8 track from a 1978 Camaro in a custom bezel, into my '72 Buick GS back in 2002.

    Glen,

    It's still working great. It's nice having the Bluetooth option.

    You should reach out to him and see when he could do yours. Here's his cell: 480-235-1964

    Jim is working on one of my Dodge radios right now. Mine in the 66 is still working great and the Bluetooth is great when you need hands free phone access!

    Awesome. Thanks. I had called them a little over a year ago and was planning to buy from them but didn’t get to it yet.
