CAC Clock Expired-Got everyone's tongue?

Derek69SS · Founding Member

I finally ordered all the parts I need to get the '66 wagon roadworthy... should have them next week, and maybe be driving it by the following weekend.

This weekend's project is an engine-swap in the Model T. If it takes me more than a day, I'm doing something terribly wrong... I haven't driven it in 5 years, but I need it ready for the big tour in July.

I drove mine today. Had the day off, went down to Corvette Specialties and talked with Mike and Larry for a while about the show and stuff. Then I met with someone from Bostons about them holding an on-site show as well as possibly sponsoring our show and some other opportunities. More to come on that in our newsletter..... Then this afternoon I started demo-see other post.

I am getting very anxious to change my 10 bolt out to 12 bolt posi, and swap out the TH350 and in with the 200-4R. Having trouble rounding up help, need some muscle to help and have not been able to round up my usual volunteers? Shouldn't be to bad, plan on doing it on the hoist, just trying to coordinate schedules. On the upside my wife entered it into the Zimmerman parade on Saturday, hopefully the weather cooperates.

If you refer to my build thread, you know where mine sits. As far as quiet, life jumped in big time the last 2 weeks. Back to working 10-12 hrs a day and trying to keep up with the yard work is already overwhelming me. No real time to put in on the car, although I have made small steps. I will have some funding for the few things yet needed soon, though....

Loren, you know if you put out the bat signal we will come running to help you!

You may have to herd a few cats with all the help, but it will get done.

Loren, just say when and provide the food.

Loren I live one town over (Cambridge) so I could easily run over lend a hand depending on schedule.

Chris R · 2K+ Club

I would love to work on it Sunday or Monday this weekend, but certainly not asking anyone to give up their time on one of the few 3 day weekends. We don't get many of them. Otherwise I am looking at evenings next week or I will have to wait a couple of weeks do work travels.

What kind of work did you have in mind for this weekend? Ill talk to the wife tonight and see what she has planned this weekend.

Mainly, just looking to swap the rearend. The transmission I can do mostly myself. I have a transmission jack I borrowed from a friend, so it makes that pretty easy.
