Considering how many NAPA parts are Chinese-made, this is a pleasant surprise.

I was working with a part yesterday... a bad design, "piece of junk", part doesn't fit, cursing it, "what crap", make it fit and the screws can't go in without cross threading, "who designed this!?" More cursing, this "chinese junk" when I turn it over and read "MADE IN USA" Eek

"No wonder, American made piece of junk, lazy Americans or illegal aliens?" Wink Big Grin

Getting harder to find made in the USA nowadays.

I recently bought an air compressor that has a sticker that says "Assembled in the USA from global components".

Go figure.

Sadly, it has been 3 years since I have touched it. Have not done anything with it since my 1st son was born.
But my oldest is big enough to hang around in the shop while I work now. Plus I need to get it out of my father in laws shop as he is wanting to build a paint booth.
Part of not doing much with it because it is 30 minutes away. So for an hour of driving I need a good 4-6 hours of work which is tough to break away with 2 little ones though now that is 3.

My schedule changed so I have 3 days off now so hopefully I can get rolling a bit on it. Hence the reason I bought the ball joints. Get the front suspension back on and running in stock form decently then just be on to the motor swap and hopefully we'll be good.
