Please help!!
Guys & Gals,
It seems I have come down with a disease that requires regular treatment! The disease seemed to be under control when I was locating items on my car that needed to be put in proper operating order. Now that I have everything working properly, it seems I need treatment by obtaining items that would have been supplied with the car when new. Thanks to members here I have been able to obtain items (ie: tire tie down strap, wheel locks, bag,etc.) to keep the disease in remission. I have now discovered that I am in need of more!!! #1- Original valve stem caps for a '90. #2- Original valve stems, or the chrome sleeves for a '90. #3- Original tire pressure gauge for '90. #4- Wheel decals/stickers for a '90. If you can be of assistance with any of these items please let me know.

Re: Please help!!
Kenny,
Stop hyperventilating. If you fail to locate all of those items, the point deductions are minimal. That said, most of what you seek is still around. NCRS is supposed to help you ENJOY the car not go crazy looking for every last point. Put an NCRS decal on the car with a battery cutoff and a fire extinguisher and you will offset all of that! Now go have some fun! Marty |

I am doing this for my own satisfaction and I am having fun with it. As opposed to some, I drive it every chance I get. Think it comes from my aviation background. When I was doing airshow routines and racing I would drive my mechanics crazy insisting everything was exactly as it should be. It kept me alive! Looks like this mindset has carried over into my "Old Age" hobby as I do not fly competitively now.

I had two bezels, and finally used the last of them a year ago. So I may need that service as well if we have to repaint one, now that I have no replacement. Might be easier to have a sign shop make them out of vinyl, but of course they would be subject to wear. Again, I will ask around. Marty |

If a car fails, you coast to the side of the road. Airplanes? Different story altogether. I understand your pursuit of perfection. Years ago, I was studying to take my NASD licensing exam. When asked by my boss how I did after taking the exam, I said I missed it by 4 points. The response was "too bad, you missed passing by 4 points?" I responded "no, I missed 100 by 4 points." After a moment, she turns to me and says something I will always remember. "in life, it is best to strive for excellence, not perfection." She was one smart lady! Enjoy your car and pursuit! Glad to hear your response, as it sounds as if you actually are enjoying both! I will see what items I can locate. Marty |

I have always been of the mindset that there are only 2 ways to do things. "Right" & "Wrong". However, as I have aged I have become a bit more forgiving. One of our members has offered me the valve stem caps, so I'm good there. Still could use the tire gauge and wheel decals if anyone has extras. Thanks for your input. I appreciate it!
