hemicop - what were some of the shops that were selling parts back then...when I started cruising FLB in 1982 in my 69 Superbee there was B&R on FLB between 35 and 34 ave's - Gabby and Mike behind the counter - there was also Speedworld on Queens Blvd. closer to my house - think there was a pretty good place in Richmond Hill but I can't remember the name...picked up 4 yellowbirds when I got pulled over by the 111pct. one time...then when I joined the ranks and got assigned to the 109, loved hanging out on FLB on Fri/Sat nights checking out the rides...was kind of fun being in uniform and talking to the rodders - met FullMetalJacket that way! That was pretty funny Lee! btw - did the girl on Connecting with the bumper sticker drive a vette? Somehow that pops into my head - there was a real hot blonde who drove a blown bigblock orange camaro around 108st. and the LIE when I worked at a service station there back in 81-83...
