Welcome.... Finally!
We'll remember this about you (your quote, above) when it's time for you to sell that car (if ever). I LOVE buying cars from someone with a meticulous nature.
Glad you're here!
Start a thread about the front-end shimmy, if you feel like it? there's some smart fellers here.

Thanks for the reply Maytag..... I'm still researching the shimmy....like to do it on my own if possible. Consensus seems to be tie rod ends or diagonal braces. Need to get under the car and see if I can find any type of slack.

Welcome to the forum! If you're looking for slack, Maytag's your guy.

Oh I'm buds with everyone. It's just that some people can't stand me. :dance:
I've occasionally wondered, if we were to get all the personalities here together for dinner at Chili's, whose table I'd want to sit at. I'm pretty confident that if Starter, Piper and myself were at the same table, we'd quickly be asked to leave.  But it'd be entertaining as hell until then. hahaha

What? I had you and Piper down for sharing their date night 2 for $20 meal w/ apps, entrees and dessert.
Boy was I wrong

There have been quite a few Oklahoma members over the years, but they come and go. I'm in northeastern Ok among the Cherokee nation. Redtele58 is to the southwest. I've met a few from the OKC area and Tulsa. Cimarron PCA is a good group, but I haven't had time to participate for the last year or so. If you need some used parts let me know. I'm not much of a seller but after buying too many 986s in various condition over the years I've got some spares and could probably meet part way towards OKC on a good day.
