Well, it went too far this time!Good ol' bob z. has a friend that got suspended from his job for 3weeks without pay. He made a design mistake that cost his employer$30,000. Bob z. did the math and found that it was more accuratelyonly a $3,000 mistake. Oh well. What can you do?:~)>Is a 3 week suspension an appropriate suspension for a design mistakethat was easily fixed in less than 5 workdays (it was actually repairedin 3). Is this an appropriate 'reprimand' for someone who had no priornegative history? No history that even warranted a mention in anyperformance reviews? Do you think bob z's friend made somebody angryprior to this incident?Please share your thoughts!bob z.ps are you lonesome tonight...

What an unusual question. I don't know why someone would want a crook representing them. Perhaps your just being facetious and don't like unions and I could reply with an equally poor response like "Maybe I made a mistake, maybe everyone that knows how to solid model isn't as smart as I thought"

I don't want to go in circles with someone who simply hates unions. I got much better things to do with my time but I would like to say this.

It sounded like Good ol Bob Z.'s friend got screwed. I made a mistake too that cost the company 17 grand and got yelled at for 30 minutes. The boss got it off his chest and afterwards we were buddy buddy again. I was in the union for 25 years and have since retired with a nice big fat pension and the people that represented me were my friends and co-workers. Almost like brothers or family after working with them for a decade or more. They were elected by me, I voted for them. They were honest, hardworking people just like you and me.

Us lot down here thought everything was legal in the US of A

a) as long as you had a good lawyer b) your pockets were deep enough

Seriously though some of these management turkeys wouldn't know a good idea if it hit them at Mach 3 Most though will quickly jump on a mistake and turn it into something akin to an Armageddon scenario.

TOP,

Honestly I don't really know what I NEED-need! I have had this car for about 20 years. Bought it when I was around 16, just like it sits today. The only thing that I ever did with it was to have the frame blasted and primered, and I bought a bunch of misc. assembly parts (weather strip, suspension components, etc.). I have not touched the car in about 19 years due to not having a place to work on it. I just recently bought a new house with 5+ acres, and will be building a 40 x 40 shop as soon as my old house sells. Then, I will be dragging it into the shop to start the journey.

I do know that the original engine IS mostly there. But at the same time I know there will be several things I will need. Maybe I should put this request on hold for a few months until I get a better grip on what I need.

There is a few body parts that I know I'll be needing though: front fenders with bullet turn signals rear fenders for the small, age appropriate tail-lights age appropriate hood deck lid - age appropriate maybe, but would REALLY prefer an old "W" deck lid. Probably not gonna happen though :-) euro bumpers - no overrides euro headlight lenses

Where are you located? Would love to come rummage through your stuff sometime if your fairly local.

I just have small stuff and mostly mechanical or small electrical. Might have the lenses, clips, etc.
