I would give you $279 for some old 30+ year old parts if you would install 'em too. I mean, geez, that's a lot of loot!   ::)

Nice price. I never heard of brute force described as quivering.

You're killing me Jay. I need to send you money before my wife gets hold of it. At least $279.95 will still buy ONE rod these days.

The quivering referres to the frame rigidity (or lack thereof).

If I save up my $13.00 a week stimulus money, I could get one of these kits in under 22 weeks, not including tax or machine work of course. I can't wait.
