Just did a new spray job on my '69 Fury.....be nice :)

[bluefury361]

I ended up using a garage door external release...that way it has a key so not just anyone can pull the cable Paranoia kicked in again You turn the key, the whole tumbler/lock assy comes out attached to a cable. You pull on that which is connected to the door latch and presto!


We may have to elect you as the official FCBO site innovator

Thanks guys.... My first car was a 79 Monte Carlo followed up by a 79 Firebird Formula. Granted this car is far from those in styling and size. But this one has been my favorite.

You hear that a lot from people with their first C-body.
Welcome to our world.

LOL! I still have this in the car......

You're kidding?

 

[1978 NYB]

Nope, I have to if I'm in Milwaukee or Baltimore in addition to unplugging one side of the ballast resistor and a wire on the starter relay.

 

[polara71]

I leave my doors unlocked

 

[1978 NYB]

I leave my doors unlocked

I'm not (won't) staying overnight in Milwaukee with the NYB. Can't take that chance. I'm fine in Green Bay......can leave all 4 doors wide open with the engine running and don't have to worry about a thing.

I always presumed that the mid west was of all good people, what little was there, especially in Wisconsin

Locks only keep the honest people out.

Most of Wisconsin is safe 99.9%.........the neighborhood I grew up in Milwaukee is now a war zone. Look at the quadrant north and west of the Milwaukee River.....do see MLK Blvd is a few blocks away? I don't need to say any more. LOL! No problems when I was growing up.

 

[polara71]

Yeah, wherever there is a MLK blvd it is a horrible neighborhood......Its not your Laverne and Shirley neighborhood anymore

 

[1978 NYB]

The only problem in the neighborhood when I was growing up was my brothers and I... and a few cousins. Nothing criminal.....just raiding apple and plum trees and having beer parties and chasing tail. Then we started with the Mopars when I was 16.......hide the bleach!!! Funny car burnouts!!! LOL!!!

 

[polara71]

Aaahhh the good ol' days

 

[1978 NYB]

Hell yes!!! I miss those days!!!

 

[polara71]

Yeah, but its all good now too, just different

True..... and nosy co-workers that like to play ALOT of practical jokes


That old Firebird I had, suffered from an issue with the ignition never going out of accessory mode, so you could start it up without keys. So if I didn't lock the doors my "friends" would move my car around in the parking lot while I was working LOL

When my wife bought a convertible, she kept locking her doors.
I said "why".

 

[polara71]

So they can cut the top and take what they want. My cars are NEVER locked
