Does anybody have any experiences/opinions concerning replacing brake and fuel
lines on cars? I bought a '72 GS455 convertible a couple of years ago and am 
doing some resto on it. Some of the brake and fuel lines are rusted and near
failure. Would a person be better off fabricating their own or trying to buy
from aftermarket, or stripping from another car, etc? Does anybody know of
aftermarket sources for these (I know some are listed in Hemmings)?

Back when I had my '49 Dodge truck, I learned to double-clutch down into
first while moving.  You depress the clutch, slip into neutral, let out
the clutch and raise the engine speed to just the right amount, and quickly
hit the clutch and drop into first.  If the engine speed is right when you
do it, it greases in smooth as silk.  This got to be almost second-nature
after a while.  If you're really good, you don't even have to push in the 
clutch the second time, just engage the gear.

You didn't say if your car was an auto or std tranny.  Assuming a std
it is possible that the main drive cluster gear bearing(s) may be bad.
That might explain why the noise is still present, although the most
likely cause is the R&P backlash is out of spec.  Looks like it's time
for another trip to the junk yard.

are some deep scratches and a couple of dents but not visible from 6 feet. The

Well, I would like to thank NCTA for supplying me with the phone number
for my Senators.  I just got off the phone with the offices of both of
them and discovered that they voted for S.12, that there is a revised
bill that they will vote for, and I registered my wish that they vote
for reregulating cable.

CATA, the Community Antenna Television Assn is NCTA (National Cable TelevisionAssociation)'s little brother.  They represent a lot of small cable systems and
small MSO (multiple system operators).  Their basic purpose is to lobby on behalf of those operators.  They were formed many years ago when BIG cable and
LITTLE cable had some divergence over how certain legislative issues should
be approached.  I'm sure if you called and asked them they would tell you
exactly who they are and what they do.  The fact that both CATA and the NCTA
are in agreement in opposing S12 is indicative that both large and small operators oppose the bill.  They are not always in agreement on legislation.

Do you mind providing some specific areas where compeition exist?
I always thought there was only one cable company per area. I have
never seen any area served by more than one cable company. Of course
that does not mean it doesn't exist; I just want to know where.

There has not been much discussion lately of the Cable Re-Regulation
Bill currently creeping its way through Congress.  So, here is
the text of a note I received yesterday with my cable bill from
my local cable company (Viacom).  There have also been similar
commercials on TV sponsored by the cable industry, propagating
the same message.  It's truly staggering how many half-truths
(quarter-truths, one-eighth-truths, etc.) can be put into a 
single note.  Enjoy!  This is submitted for discussion; please
don't flame me, since I think that this whole message is
pure drivel.

Note:  I capitalized the parts of the note which were printed
in BOLD print.

----------cut here-------------------------------------------------

CONGRESS WILL ACT ON LEGISLATION IN SEPTEMBER THAT
COULD RAISE, NOT LOWER, YOUR MONTHLY CABLE RATES.

As a cable subscriber, you may be required to fund a billion-dollar
bonanza for network TV broadcasters.  Congress is considering
legislation in September that could force cable companies to pay
broadcast TV stations (ABC, CBS, NBC) as much as $1 billion a year.

What will you get?  The same network programming, the same
commercials - AND THE TAB.  Meanwhile, your neighbors who don't
subscribe to cable will get the networks for free.

Putting the government into cable TV also will increase cable's 
operating and regulatory costs, which could lead to higher cable bills.

THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE ESTIMATES THIS 
LEGISLATION COULD MEAN INCREASED COSTS OF $23 TO $51 PER YEAR
FOR EACH CABLE SUBSCRIBER.

Stop this bill from becoming law.  Contact your U.S. Senators NOW.

Cable companies recognize there may be a rationale for some rate
guidelines, but this extreme bill is bad for consumers and cable.
THIS BILL WILL SEND YOUR RATES UP, NOT DOWN.

NOW IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO STOP THE CABLE TV BILL.  To contact your
U.S. Senators, call the U.S. Capitol Operator at 1-202-224-3121.  Or
write you Senators in care of:  U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C. 20510.

I've heard many stories about why people want to re-regulate the cable
companies, but from my reading, it appears that the main problem is that
local governments that are in bed with the locality's primary cable
provider won't allow competition.  For example, in the few areas of the
country where there *is* competition among cable companies, the customers
are *very* happy.  The obvious conclusion is that we should force local
governments to allow competition, not re-regulate.

I posted a fairly complete list of commercial and shareware programs

I have the file on my HD but uploading it again to the newsgroup via modem

Hello,

I recently pulled over Draft Choice 2.0 (shareware) from wuarchive.wustl.edu,
and I'd like to get a comparison of it versus other CAD software, both payware
and shareware.  My initial reactions is that it seems to me to be very good for
a shareware package (I'm sure AutoCAD would be better), but of course I have
little experience with other CAD packages.

I'm not sure if I'll use it (want to do landscape design of our property), but
if I do, I'd like to build a symbol library for it (when it is registered, 
Trius will send a symbol library as part of the registration).  Thus, if you
use it, and have developed your own symbol library, I'd like to get your
symbols.

Much thanks.

Does anyone out there recognize this?  Does anyone know what OS was used by
