I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a cheap muffler shop in the downtown Cleveland (Ohio) area. I'm also open to areas west of Cleveland, or in east Lorain county. (Basically, near my school or my home.) Its a 1970 Skylark with a simple 350. There are no modifications, and the car is rusted out - I simply need it drivable. Would prefer single exhaust due to funding issues, but hear that may be hard to come by. I can install it myself if I can find parts cheap enough to justify the time. Also, I remember a post from a few months ago (but cannot find it) about a parts store in or near Medina, Ohio, that stocked a lot of parts for older cars. Does anyone know of this store? Thanx,
EXHAUSTING!!!!!!!!!! Hi Truzi there's aplace called affordable muffler on lorain rd. and west 130 st. also one on w.130 in between lorain and purtus i dont remember their name but my mom had a full duel exhaust system manifolds back for around 250 to 300 bucks so a single system should be less they both make them from scratch i'v had affordable do some work for me and they did a good job let me know how you make out .:Smarty: o No: hey was that your skylark conv. packed in a lot at E.22 and I think carnagie? I was going for a job ap. at the plain dealer when i saw the car .o No: good luck with your exhaust :Comp: :TU:
How Embarassing Yes, that poor rusted out Skylark in the E. 22 lot (CSU parking) is mine. Ignore the rust holes and duct-taped top, LOL. It used to be in great shape, and maybe one day will be again. It saw me faithfully through my undergrad, and now has to see out my grad. Thanx for the line on the muffler shop. I got on the net and searched for local muffler shops (the number for Affordable) didn't seem to work - I'll have to try again) and made a lot of calls. They all seem to want about $300 for duel, installed. For single, either they can only get expensive Y-pipes, or have to make their own, and the cost is too close; I'll get the duels. There is a place about 3 blocks from the dorm, so I'll probably go there next week. Hopefully I won't discover any engine noises when its done. Applying for the PD? Good luck. What did you apply for? One of my BA's is in journalism, and I wrote for a weekly in Avon Lake (The PRESS) for 6 years.
don't be Don't be i'd love to have a gs or skylark or even cutlass conv.but i already have enough projects . I'm a recently unemployed web offset pressman from rr donnelley and son /formerly penton press after 23 years so i'd like to get into the pd if i can it's tough to get in there. the only good thing is i'll be getting 33 weeks severance and 22 weeks unemployment :shock: so hopfuly it won't be that bad uzzled: besides Ineed a vacation after 23 years :gt: :TU:
Good luck with the PD. A few years back, while I worked at a high school, we took the students on a tour of the PD printing facility. They have a very nice setup. Have you also applied at the Chronicle-Telegram in Elyria. I hesitate to mention the Lorain Morning Journal (if they have their own press) due to conceptual conflicts of how Journalism should be - but hey, a job is a job.
