My junkyard is like that, too.  The first time I went there they let me look around as much as I want, then the second time I went, they said I have to come and talk to the person at the front desk before I go anywhere else or "They'll have to kick us out"   :icon_frown: ( I was with a friend).  I pulled a valence off a 93 GP today that is in CHERRY shape!  The thing took an hour to take off,  :icon_eek: but in the end, it was worth it.  I got a really nice valence (although it is white) for $20, so I am happy.  :icon_cool:

Does anybody here know whether or not that you HAVE to have a front license plate on our cars here in MN?

If I run into him tonight, I'll ask Myron, the best "cop" there is. He's almost NOT a cop cuz he's so cool. One of the local sheriff's literally MADE me put one on my Camaro after I had been pulled over 4 times for having it in my windshield. I haven't been pulled over once for driving with it in the windshield of my TPG. I'll try and find out though.

Cool  ;) let me know! I'm sick of front plates! :icon_mad:

No, but he hasn't been in the office when I've been available. I called his house and asked his wife when he worked and he works from 2 till 10...almost exactly when I'm working. I tried pulling a cop over to ask, but it's harder than you think lol. I'll prolly get pulled over tonight on my way to South Dakota, so I'll ask then lol. Sorry, but I'll keep trying.

Thanks anyway.  Let me know when ya do find out.  ;)

I haven't had one on my car for two years, never got pulled over for it, but once I got pulled over for speeding and he said I needed to have one although he never gave me a fix-it ticket.  So I never put one on.  Haven't had any problems.

I was really bored today and mascara'ed my TGP today.  Check it out, looks pretty sweet!  :icon_cool:  http://www.tgpforums.com/index.php?topic=3575.0

Dude! Thats Incredible!  Someday My car will look like that, after some bodywork and A good paint job

Sorry it's taken me so long to post this....alot going on, and I'll psot more about that later on, but I did ask two cops the other night about the liscence plate on the front. They said that in Minnesota you need to have a front plate on the car, UNLESS it is a collector car WITH collector plates...which you can only apply for if your vehicle is 20 years old; the downfall that collector plates is your car is not allowed to be a daily driver or go to school, work, or to pick up groceries. It is meant for cruising to collector meets and auto shows they said.

So, short answer: we need a plate mounted externally on the front, but I'm still not going to do it until they tell me to...and even then I think I'm just gonna zip tie it to the grille lol. Again sorry for the delay, but I'll explain the delay later on.

Thanks, guys!  Hey Grinders, I posted a suggestion for ya in your rolling thread.  ;)

What happened?

There's a bunch of info on it in the Grinders 18 Rolling TGP thread in the Problems and Solutions section...95% of my time and money have gone itno getting that thing running...argh...lol.

Guys- we should all get together sometime when it is warm out and have a meet.  That would be awesome- a MN TGP meet.

Totally 100000% agree! Let's start arranging it. Any preference to dates and location?

Preferably, sometime when it is warm :laugh:
