loaded up

January 17th, 2009

The highpoint of the day was Andy’s visit. Great to meet forum members in person …and Andy brought donuts to boot! . Andy cruised down from San Francisco in his beautiful GT with an awesome family history. A VERY special car .

Later in the day, my son and I loaded the Ute for the ride to the GNRS. Deb and I leave tomorrow for San Luis Obispo and our youngest daughter’s place for a few days.

The engine is all wired and ready to go, but not fired. At this point I don’t want to deal with the oil and water leaks I might have, sync’ing the carbs, and burning the paint off the exhaust ports. A drive will have to wait until after the show…Well, maybe until I get home. Hot Rod Deluxe wants to do a photo shoot the Monday following the show in LA.

I’m half thinking about not displaying the kart in the bed…

I leave for my daughter’s in San Luis Obispo Sunday and will be in Pomona Wednesday night. They have given the 60 special invited cars permission to unload Wednesday night.

If Brian Curtis’ plane into Ontario is on time, I’ll do that (I’ll need Brian’s help.

I also got the residue from color sanding and dust off the chassis…

The dash is coming together…

Still too many items left on the punch list…
