The NCFTO guys are having a work day next sat 10 Dec 05 in Durham. We have a member up near Mt. Airy that has lost his job, and has a dead engine in his truck. I have found a donor engine down near the coast from another member that I am going to pickup this week. A member is going to drive from Burlington to pickup the truck in Mt. Airy and haul it to Durham. Guys from across the state (several are/have been readers here) (several from the Charlotte area) are going to drive in and see if we can get this members truck revived and running for him for Christmas.
I invite any of you that would like to be a part of this fellowship workday send me an email through my user profile and include a return address, and I will give you the location just off I-85 where we will be working.
Maybe this will generate some interest in this FTE Chapter.
Art, Are you still interested??

I would, but that's a long drive from Pomona Calif.! That's why I've been wanting an on line meeting. I know it's been tried, but at least we had more than 2 people show up.
Got the engine delevered yesterday, the truck was picked up and hauled back to Burlington, should be delivered to Durham this morning.
I got wacked with rising gas prices. I stopped on the way out and got $10.00 at $2.05 because I wanted to get 15 miles further and grab some $1.98, surprize, it was $2.09, another place that a friend told me was $1.98 monday night, was now $2.25. A little further I found another $2.09 so I filled up. When I got to little Washington I saw more $2.05. I loaded and on the way out I filled up again. 112 miles and 8.03 gallons of gas. 13.9 mpg running around 75 mph, 26-2800 rpms. I was big time surprized with that.

We had 19 guys show up for the work day, Everything wasn't complete until about 8:00 last night. We ran into several snaffus but all were overcome. There is now one revived Ford truck and a happy owner in the Tarheel state.
I think there are 18 guys that are happy to be a part of giving to a fellow Tarheel too.
