Heo, we all get to make up our own minds about the things we experience as we live our life.

Regardless of ones political, social, or environmental stand, it is very important to offer to others an actual experience, rather than being left hearing an often propaganda directed, agenda mindset telling you what things are.

Based on your description of the kids parents it seems plausible that kid has received the Greta Thunberg agenda riddled version regarding vehicles.

Hopefully the kid will, somehow, look into things on his own and learn a more honest story regarding such things.
He does not need to be converted into a gear head, or convinced old cars are good in some instances.
He just needs to see the reality of how others, who are not eco warriors against such things, are still good people enjoying things they like.

Showing people the enjoyment of your passion is one of lifes better aspects.

At the very least, I think you cemented yourself....likely forever, as the "Cool Uncle" who likes to have some fun and might show you a thing or two......just don't tell mom okay.

I could not said it better my self :)

You can't take the boy out of the boy!!  Uncle Heo is cool  ;D

I remember years ago going with a friend on a shakedown in his '69 GT-500.  Dave's wife had him watching the three year old daughter, so we strapped the car seat into the back of the Shelby.

The car ran great!  After awhile Dave couldn't help himself and he mashed the throttle on a long straight.  As the smoke cleared, a little voice screamed out, "Do it again! Do it again!"

We spent the rest of the ride home trying to figure out how to do damage control with the wife.  Dave also resolved that he was going to buy his daughter a little four cylinder car when she turned 16.  No, her name is not Greta!

Doug, you gotta find the payment method that makes you comfortable.
If the buyer will not budge from their prefered payment method it is time to let that deal go.

If the buyer is determined to purchase they will find a way that both parties can agree on.

I have one supplier who insists on using an online only payment I don't have.
We came to an agreement on a different payment method and have been doing business for years now without one single issue.....even if it is a bit slower than the other payment method.

In the end you are in control of how you will take payment, as well as make payments.
If a buyer alerts your gut radar it is time to listen to the gut......The item being sold would be nice to sell, but it is not essential it gets sold to that particular buyer.

Bob, it seems likely there is a blockage of some type in the fluid path.

Check a few things first.
1) Bleed screw is actually made correctly....meaning fluid can pass through completely.
2) Bleed screw threaded hole is able to pass fluid.
3) Fluid path in the new throw out bearing is open and properly made.
I say this because these things USED to be one of the normal items that was just made correctly and never gave any issue......Not so much these days.
Aftermarket new parts are riddled with stupid issues like this.

Once those items have been proven good then move on to the rest of the system that was left untouched on the truck.

Start with the fluid line....it may have collapsed internally and only gives trouble when under pressure.
I had a line like this years ago.
It looked perfect on the outside.
It allowed fluid to pass via gravity so it seemed "open".
But when pressure was applied a portion of it (inner liner) would wad up and block the fluid enough to cause issues.....OH, and it was a brand new brake line too.

There could be some junk that moved from the bottom of the master cylinder into the line as well. Thos things get a bit dirty and when we start moving things around stuff "breaks loose" and finds its way in the system somewhere else.

Finally, prove the master is still transfering fluid.

So much has changed over the last four years....I am wondering who are the current good guys building and selling complete 9" center sections?

I am doing a swap on a 65 Shelby GT350 so I want to keep the original center section intact and original.
It just seems easiest to buy a complete center section for this job...partially due to time constraints too.

I will end up with a 28 spline Detroit Locker (or Eaton Truetrac) 3.25:1 gears and a nice case and pinion carrier.

Who do you know that is providing good customer service, good products, and generally ticking the boxes for a good place to do business with.

I know I can go online and find this stuff, but I'm tired of poop head online businesses, so I'm searching for a good place.

Thanks.
