my door hinge parts are oxidized. What's the best thing to soak them in?

Try the electrolytic method. Cheap and easy with great results.

Anyone in Jackson area have an old 40 hubcap I could use as a mock up for a few weeks will return unharmed.

I am going to see if I can mock up hub cap clips on a set of 16 wheels for my 62.

Look for a thread by fogblanket (sp?). He did 40 wheels with hubcaps on his 62 very nicely.

I want to add the clips to the wheels that I have instead of widing OEM wheels. I have a few spares that are 16 and 17s.

I bought my last windshield from Toyota. It was cheaper than local auto glass place.

I bought my last windshield from Toyota. It was cheaper than local auto glass place.

Nolen, did the USAF use the acronym BOHICA? I bought a windshield for my 40 from the local Toyota dealership 2 years ago. List price was ~$72. My price after the discount was $54. Last year I got a big rock crack driving through NO and called to order a new WS glass from the same dealership. Same glass, new price, $274. That's a BOHICA from Mr. T.

I spoke with our friend John Hocker about the price, thinking it had to be an error. He said that Toyota's bean counters had made adjustments to several parts prices that they felt were too low. Screw 'em. I had a new tinted windshield cut at a local glass shop for $75.
