BUILD THREAD 87 Cutlass EFI build: 9/13/23..NEW STUFF!

Damn, that's pulling deep. I remember Fraggle Rock. According to the Wiki, it ran from early 83 to early 87 so I would have been 7-12 while it ran. I was a Nickelodeon junkie back then so I'm surprised I didn't remember the Doozers from it or make the connection when I saw the newer cartoon in my Google search. Oh well. More proof I'm losing my mind.
That's it. I was born in 83, Dad is still a mechanic so it's quite fitting to be nicknamed after the construction workers and tinkerers of the era.
Geez now I feel old. I was born in '73. Loved Fragglerock but we didn't have cable until I was almost a teenager, so I didn't get to watch it much.

It's ok Shawn, you are old but we still accept you as you are 😉.
I thought the Fraggles were assh*les - didn't they go around eating the stuff the little green f*ckers made because it tasted like radishes?
Or was I just high?

I had absolutely NO clue where Doozer came from. Interesting Injectedcutty fact that now everyone knows. I've never seen a second of Fraggle Rock. Heard of it, but never saw it. Looks like a Muppet Show derivative.
Growing up, when wide-spread cable first came to my small-azz town, there were ads in the paper telling how great it was that you could get over a dozen channels. WOW!
They were digging up stuff all over the place installing the infrastructure. It was cool and all, but my dad was Scrooge-like when it came to that. "PAY to watch TV? That's a bunch of BS!" So we were relegated to watching the 5 or so VHF channels and 2 UHF channels. And if the wind was blowing wrong, sometimes even less than that. We didn't even get a COLOR TV until something like 1969. And we only had ONE TV until 1973. I had a sad childhood living with my Dad the Scrooge. My dad finally relented into buying cable TV....in 1993!!!! And then, that was just the basic channels!
I didn't watch cable TV in my own house until around 1982. Stupid button box and all. Here's the exact type of box I got when I got my first cable. Super PITA to use:
Anyway, I like the CF inserts into the fenderwells. That's a nice detail touch, IMO.

I had cousins who watched them beyond H.S. caused they loved it when they were stoned. I believe it was for the elementary school aged & the teenage/early 20's stoners.
