      Got my new Illinois Antique plates in the mail today.

      2 weeks to get the plates is a pretty damn good turn around for the "state that works"

        Speaking of plates, does anybody know when Michigan stopped stamping the year into their plates and when it stopped showing up on the left(?) side of the plate as a sticker?

            Thanks for the info, dude!
            That is a cool site. Looks like I could get an old blue plate for my Townie, I loved those plates. Hate the newer cheap stuff we've got now. Just need to find a June '88 plate...

              Just a quick update:

              Look what came in the mail!


              Also new antique plate on



              Just been sitting in the garage. When I get a nice day this week I'll back it out and start on the window motors in the rear. Bushings are bad.

                  Decided to back it out of the garage and wash, then wax it. Then pull it back in lol.

                  Wanted to get another coat on it before cruising season starts, should be here soon!

                      Looks good, but I suggest upgrading from the Mercu to the Mercury. Its two better.

                          Haha, I was going to say something along the lines of, "That Mercu looks great!"

                            Well got it out of the garage today. Went on a nice cruise.

                            Heading back to Chicago I notice the trans wouldn't shift into overdrive, so I pulled into a NAPA, and popped the hood. TV grommet was intact (I have the updated one) but the cable was slacked out.

                            Crawled underneath and lo and behold, where the cable goes to the metal arm, was full of old caked on silicone lubricant. Went inside and got a can of PB blaster and a brush, removed it, cleaned it off and soaked it in PB. Re attached, and lubed with oil, and back to perfect AOD goodness.

                            Crisis averted today. Enjoyed the rest of the drive, and took it out again at night.

                            That's all,

                            George

                              As long as it was stuck partly open instead of fully closed you're good to go.
