Its called a strike plate, and I would think it'd be an easy part to get from a local auto store.

Hmm, not sure then. I know what latch part you're referring to, but not sure what that entails.

Default I'm going to try salvage yards tomorrow. I may have found one cheap on the internet. Great scumbag

post. When I sneeze on people, I usually tell the to "catch" right before, then follow up with a "great catch!" Isn't Ice House more expensive than miller High life? Do you drink the high life in 32oz or 12oz bottles?

Default Well...

1. The sneezing part never gets old with me.

2. Ice House is more expensive then MHL now, but at the time it was cheaper at the local wal mart.

3. 12oz regularly. 32oz on the occasion.

Yeah, the scum bag post has proven quite a hit around here.
