So I bought a black TGP for parts a few months back. I took the passenger side door panel off and the factory plastic moisture barrier was completely intact, never been removed. I removed it and what do I find in the bottom of the door? A burger king ketchup packet with the date 1990 on it! Apparently this is proof positive that line workers at the time were fans of the king. I still have it if anyone needs any TGP ketchup for their car. I will Also have a ton of great parts for sale once I get mine restored and repainted in the spring. :icon_cool:
That ketchup packet was the only thing holding the car together. :laugh:
Take a picture :icon_exclaim:
someones kid prolly slipped into the window channel years ago lol.
In the spring I will get a good picture of it. I threw it back in the door bottom. The car is covered up and buried in snow right now.
Most of you know that my 89 was hit in the rear back in 09. While I was completing the repairs I found that it has been autographed by someone.
thats awesome you should try to find the guy lol
I would if I could read the signature. It looks like B. Sloan to me. What do you guys think?
i think you may be right... pretty strange , maybe theres a way to find out about him, must be an OG eight mile worker.
I think it says "Waldo" was here!!

What even prompted this reply? I'm failing to see anything about his post that could be taken the wrong way.
Fred was one the guy that mentioned Kentucky to begin with...and I'm not sure where that came from either. The GM-10 plant for Pontiac Grand Prix's was in Fairfax, Kansas. ;)
That's what I was thinking.
something about the factorys being wrong? i dont konw, my post and fred's were mixed into something that appeared to be directed towards me.

Nope, it was definitely Kansas.
