Sorry. I don't have any in stock. You can order them here (although I don't think you'll have it in time for the gathering at this point.)

OK then, does anyone want to volunteer to put sun screen on my scalp? I guess I could wear my NCM hat.

So it sounds like everyone has been busy.  Had my counsel all apart to put the 2nd hand piece in I got at dinos salvage(they aren't making repos yet) put the seat back in after a good cleaning, checked the tires, the fluids etc and pretty well ready to go.  Went into town today to get some American cash and need to pack.. my passenger door panel is going to have to wait and I'm actually going to get everyone there to brainstorm a little to see if we can fix it cause I'm sure out of ideas.  I'm really looking forward to meeting the crew its nice to have a face to put on some of the members.  I'll be leaving here Tuesday and plan on a long day so that Wednesday will be a little easier sure hoping the cops will be on break so I can cut down a couple of hours driving time.

What's wrong with the door panel?

johnu said: Sarge, what happened? We all want to know! . . . . I had a successful voyage today. I ventured out to Norsky's turf. My wife found a dress and the Vette ran great driving around the lakes, win-win if you know what I mean. . . .




I'll explain later. lol. I will take some pics of the project to show anyone interested. I'm so close. I will probably be able to turn the key and fire it for the first time this weekend, but I need to have the ECM tuned and get some miles on it until I'd feel comfortable driving it long distances again. Trust me. It pains me not to bring my ride.
See ya soon! Beer

Oh no the Silver Ghost won't be there? That sucks. Are you brining that purple thing?

Glad you guys are going, no matter what the ride is.

See you there.

"Prep time" now consists of how to pack.  I found out we are transporting a decoration to my wife's family cemetery plot along the way.  I measured it and it will just barely fit.  One end will sit on top the dash and the other end will land somewhere against the rear bulkhead/window.  It will only be a 1.5 hour journey with flowers rubbing our ear lobes.
