Mark Wolbrink-yes, 1950 Ford-aaargh- my dad sold his four door for $200 when I was 15- offer it to me? noooo
The only reason to tease about our weather in April is because it could already be too hot in May and June? Not a chance for cool.

t-minus less than 12 days till we load up and head out.. had the car on the chassis dyno yesterday and found out no 3rd gear in the tranny.  :x so needless to say car is torn all apart and trans will be at the shop bright an early monday morning. hopefully its something simple and we can get the car back together an dynoed before next week. the trans is brand new with less than ten total low speed passes on it between loring an maxton so i dunno whats goin on in there.. so frustrating!! heres how the poor car sits as of this afternoon. ready for the thrash to go back together lol

Ron --- looks like you have a lot of assembly work if that photo of the car was taken today.

Yep.  Two hours to disassemble, forever to re-assemble.   :mrgreen: 

At least, that's the way it works for me.

Right there with you guys. Two months ago I had a good plan. Now I am thrashing to catch up. Both Optima batteries were bad. Got the 411 from my sterio installer to buy new ones at Sam's Club. They were $133.32 each versus $179 on line for 8004's. All I need now are my wheels which should be here Thurs...Thanks Charles for the help on the rims. The Wheelsmith folks built the rims in a day and they are already shipped. I called them on Monday! The tires are due to the Distributor in Daytona on Fri. and should be to me by Monday. Mount them up check for clearance and off to the chassis dyno on Tues. or Wed. night. If all goes well we will load up Thurs and leave early Friday AM. Charles the time sure did fly by from when you first made this thread!

The duc is still in the shop but will be ready to run once I have the seat mounted.  The new bodywork won't be ready and I haven't heard her run in quite a while but I am optimistic and will be there!
