    Tim...

    ...I'm glad that you found one.

    If I find a lock mechanism, I'll let
    you know.

    Thanks. Yea I know where Sparta is. I used to travel up route 77 on my way up north when we lived in Shelby, NC...when I bought the car I was living in Asheville NC...the car was bought in Sylva, NC...near Cherokee. I passed up a couple of nice Mavs back then and now wish I would have picked them up....but you know how money can be an issue sometimes. Hey...does anyone ever make to Carlise, PA. They got the ford show June 2-4th...I think.
