Well, we've been pretty quiet for a while now, but have been planning some changes, and gathering parts

I'll post some updates and pics of work we are doing now and through the weekend, tonight when I get on a real computer! :-)
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

You can't make a race horse out of a pig. But if you work hard enough at it you can make a mighty fast pig. - Bob Akin

Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish. The product of a demented hill billy who has found a way to live out where the winds blow. To sleep late, have fun, drink whiskey, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love or getting arrested.    H.S. Thompson

I agree with Joe.
Great to hear from you Buddy. :cheers: :cheers:

Well we finally got our butts moving on the car a few weeks ago. Buddy and Randy flew out for the install....  We changed out the Tranny in the car to a 2 speed power glide.  I had to re design the adapter plates from the block to the tranny and re-do all the mounting bolts and locating pins for the bellhousing.
