Well sortoff.....
I almost crapped myself today when Ira's famous "woody" battery door showed up at my house with postage due and a new top secret packing system.
What is the secret you say ??????????? Well... here it goes,NO frigging packing at all!!! NO box! NO padded comfy envelope! NADA,nothing zip!!! He sent it through the brutal U.S.P.S. just like you see it.
Ira's motto is; Packing,we don't need any stickin packing!!!!!!
They even stamped "postage due" right on the door itself!! And Ira was cool enough to split the postage costs with me,nice guy......
Thanks Ira,your a real gem........

that's hilarious!!nice one Ira

Now that's classic, who can top that?

The postage due is perfect.... That alone adds value!

I guess the question now is...

Does it work?

No.... but it is still funny.

Well Skip, you have a rare original that should fetch at least $399 on eBay as a BIN. Just be sure to include the termite bond with the buyer protection!

well --here is 'the other side of the story'

at the shameful and puny price --
skippy had offered for this custom "made with pride in the USA" product---

you can all understand why it did not warrant that much further investment in packing materials and $ freight
-----------------------------

as far as the 'does it work' silly question --

well it mostly works -but just like with any other items made by and FOR trailer park guys --

it needs a few feet of ducK tape -
for the proper 'fit and finish'

and perhaps a few nails to hold in the batteries !!

Ahhh, the power of duct tape!

Here's a shot of Ira's dad getting the family station wagon ready for the vacation trip.

Says it can't be found! So, Santadog, get outta that chair (We know that's you in the avatar! ) and back to your day job and help me and Ramon here!

Is the link busted?

Thanks for posting the pic, Joel!!

The link worked for me in Opera, Firefox, shatty Internet Explorer, and Safari.

All the help in the world won't work for you and Ramon. Unless, of course, it's the Vladi method of help - Glenlivet 18.

Just scroll back up to Spud's post with the picture... that's it.

was he taking a leak before opening the door

FYI the link did not work for me... to find it I had to do a Google image search on the last part of the link (past the AAAAA from Bs on through .jpg if you copy and past the entire link you see the critical part of the image name) Then it popped up. Of course it linked to a huge 1600x1200 picture if you clicked on it, but I did a "open image in new window" when the size of the pic on the screen was 640. Then I just copied that image address and posted it. I didn't have to resize or save it anywhere else....

But I did it on my MAC... your mileage may vary...

Close,that is a International travelall the bigger version of the Scout.
Too bad too,they had a great engine and drivetrain. Tough as nails and run forever.

There was one year I believe you could get an International Scout with a completely galvanized body. I should check into that and see what year that was....

I found a reference to a "Coast Guard Prepared" International Scout that has an all-galvanized body.... but no other info yet...

galvanized --doesnt even perform well in a salt air environment --
but SOME stainless and ALL aluminum lasts.

Yeah.... it was an unofficial reference, probably an assumption. There was someone around here that had one... low mileage... stored in a barn... My dad had talked to him about selling it, but the guy would not let it go... That was 20 years ago...

I finally read this (honestly the topic skeered me)

I have been laughing my *** off!

That is very original Ira..

All you need to know is that coins aren't the only old things you'll find on Florida beaches.

have been afraid to ask skippy if he paid up on the 67 cents --or if he stiffed the post office ??!!!

one of you guys ask him -- OK ?

Skippy...did you stiff the post office? And if so, did you give your address as Boynton Beach so they would go postal on Ramon instead?

Or did you square up with thirteen wooden nickels and two tin pennies?

Ramon is cool -- he never gets pissed

but if they went postal on him for only 67 cents...........

Times are tough for the Post Office and they just got waxed with the Christmas rush.

Plus they heard some s2g members had some unsavory comments about their delivery practices.

i am getting pissed

I think that he just did what I always do.... just put the postage due on Ira's customs tab. A round of free trade for everyone!

I mean:
why not?

Yes I paid the DAMN post office!!!! Otherwise they would give me that door. Cheap Ira for christsakes!!!!

might make it up to skippy on the next score --
not soon -- but sometime

I know,thanks Ira.....
You can just send me that "ol" RX-7700 you have,that will make up the difference....no charge of course...... Like NOW!

cant send you ANYTHING -- this post office rip --
has blown your credit !!
