Up close, it looks like - and here's a new word I learned from hanging out here - it looks like cack.  But I won't fault Joe, who has asked that I not use his last name anymore, with respect to this car as it sits.  It was my lack of prep work.  That's what next year is all about.

not in the same context as my use of the word, however....

It looks pretty good form over here

Well that explains everything...

Also, I have to remember to bring a jar of Pickles for Lynda . . .

The plan was a dark green, but Joe wanted me to take a few minutes and dig through his vintage color catalogues.  I saw this one and said, " Yeah, that'll be just pickley".

Yes, what a pickle you've gotten into.  Or you will be getting into.

Thanks, Grummy.  The problem is, it was SUPPOSED to be a 10-footer - NOT a 10 THOUSAND MILER!

If you've got a gun that'll take a 2.5mm(100thou) tip then get some primer putty . . .

Gun?

All these strange words . . .



Just funnin' with you, Doc.   

M.M.    Need to borrow a gun?

I won't be there until the 19th, hmmmm....silly me    I was going to suggest you leave them with Barney (#3 daughter)  How stupid is that?!!      She's as big a thief as my #2 daughter, the Pickle Bandit!!  Dang I hate all these distractions!!  Your car is looking great, pickle jar green with a white lid is very appropriate!  Good luck during WoS!!

Good Luck, stay safe, Go....fast?!!!!

Love the color.  Don't screw it up with decals and numbers.  Put the numbers in the minimum size on the side glass and go for the stocker look without all the gaudy lettering and scallops and s-it.

Yeah, all them decals might make it look like a roadster and Stan might protest you lol

Ahh, the Michigan contingent - always quick to share their weapons with friends.  Thanks, Pretty Boy Floydjer, but the deed has been done - although I could use a shovel, if you could spare one.

Looks like I'm leaving a day later than I thought.  When I changed out the '71 fenders and hood with '75's, it never occurred to me that there would be no holes for the grill.   A three hour job turned into six.

Additionally, it took way too long to get the headlamp buckets in place.  I'd stay up and put the windshield in, but right now, I'm running on fumes, and if something stupid were to happen to the windshield, that would be a deal breaker.

Tim's coming over tomorrow night to do the last details on the electricals - I'll finish up the windscreen then. For the time being, the smartest thing I can do is stare at the back of my eyelids for a few hours before I go to work.  Friday's looking slow at work, and my new accomplice is very astute - let's see if I can start my vacation a few hours early.

Beer - Bath - Bed.

Well, I'm glad SOMEBODY knows about the Harland Sharp install.  The company sure didn't.



Dropping Kate at the airport - She's visiting her nephew in Boulder, and I'll pick her up there.

I've still got some sorting to do, and some packing.  A BUNCH of packing.

Classic photo of a thrash to get ready.  Car looking great in the middle of a clear spot.  Debris all around, distruction at the walls, clutter, beyond mess.

Great job MM.    Good luck, be safe, go fast!

Goals -

1 - Get there
2 - Make some runs and sort out the chassis for next year
3 - It would be nice to turn over 100
4 - Return safely


Well - can't wait any longer.  A few issues I can fix when I get there, but I've got to put some landscape in my rear view mirror.

See you on the salt. 8-)
