Dave I was in your neck of the woods Friday!...well kind of
I am building a 76 Formula Firebird and drove to Kalamazoo MI to get a formula hood for it...( man parts for these are cheap compared to Mopars...$250 USD ) then made a trip back through to Flint and picked up a UHAUL car trailer to get a 71 Olds cutlass convertible my buddy bought......
there are two things to note ALWAYS when driving through Michigan I can count numerous Dead deer on the side of highway...this year was 16 total!....some look like they have been laying there a long while...do they clean up road kill often?....here in Ontario it would be gone same day
2nd was how sadly the area in Flint around where the GM plant closed ....a lot of business gone, crime is high and people had chain link fences around there entire houses with gates and locks and large dogs ... I felt really sorry for the guy we were buying the Olds from as he held onto as long as he could but clearly needed the cash....hopefully something turns around there to create jobs!
But I always enjoy driving the highways and enjoying the scenery in MI...The people we dealt with were TOP NOTCH people very helpful and polite, the guy and his wife in Kalamazoo were amazing and even sent me a text the day asking if all went well on the trip home and the border, I am sure I will be in touch with them again to say hi...good people

Hey Steve. Glad you were able to find the parts you needed. And yes, GM/Pontiac/F-body parts are a bargain compared to Mopar stuff.

Steve, A lot of deer (does) are being chased around by their male counterparts the first 2 weeks of November. Add to that the hunters and many end up crossing roads and well you've seen the results. I have no idea how they're cleaned up but I'm sure it's not a priority. Did you cross over in Port Huron or Detroit? If Detroit you were only about 20 mins from me.
