Maybe a few weeks Tony, I have therapy 3 days a week and bunch of Drs appt mixed in next week. Also have to go to Fidelity and do something about investing my IRA. Just rolled the 401K over into an IRA account but it's just sitting in a holding tank right now.

I think I recall some paint checking on the hood, just pitch it so you have plenty of room for the blower.

Tony, how does week after next work for you, check you schedule. Tuesday or Thursday would work best, therapy Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but i can make any day work. Henry is having hernia surgery this Monday. Small tear in the abdominal muscles, out patient so he'll be up and around in a day or so. I'm sure he'd like to come along and see the hot rod, he'll be off work for awhile. If Kathy will be around I'm sure Lynda would like to come and visit with her.

Shoot me a PM or give me call and let me know what works for you. I'm sure Henry will have a follow up visit with the surgeon that week, I'll find out what it is Monday. Anyway, would like to come up and see you and check out the hot rod. Missed Autofest so I haven't seen it since you got it finished up. If I'm feeling up to it maybe I'll take it out and pull a few 5 grand hole shots. Just to see how well you put it all together.

Sounds good Hank. I'll give you a call.

That Hemi likes to see around 5500 for a GOOD holeshot!

It's not that bad Nancy, a couple hours here, a couple hours there. And yes, there is always time for a beer.

Tony,

Here is a 72 SS with the Midnight Bronze paint code 68. Not sure if I like it...it may grow on me the more I look at it.

I like the bronze, but I like the blue more. Tough call isn't it?

Hey,,,Ray IS alive!!!...You'll have to get in line for the Nova. My brother wants it. He's just waiting for me to put a price on it.

That 427 you have is supposed to go in your Chevelle.

It doesn't cost anything to dream. Family comes first.

The 427 is going to be on hold for awhile...the Ray factor hit again and had some minor set backs in the financial sector.
