Morning to all there too, its like 5:30 PM tuesday here so my day is about to start. We are still working nights to avoid the heat.
Still hoping to get back early enough and go to the Springfield antique auto swap meet. Its the 20-21-22 anyone up for a mini GTG one day, no fighting over Ford parts. lol
There is alot of all kinds of parts there not just antique stuff. That's where Unk Bob got his front bumper and factory push guard on ol kabluey for like 50 bucks.
Finger X'ed I get back in time, I'll keep you posted.

Well Tim and I got the intake manifold on the head, and got the head torqued last night. Had the rest of it wrapped up early this afternoon. Coolant topped off, and air bubbles bled out of the cooling system. Had a couple test drives, and the little car runs really nice. THEN we got out the degreaser, and washed the engine down. It's still doing a little sputtering, but after sitting tonight, and we'll get the compressor fired up tomorrow and get all the connections dried it should be fine.
As far as a get together, I'm all about it.

Congrats on getting Tim's new ride up and pretty much running. Did you ck out that Spg craigslist add on that 79 with a flat bed? Might be up your ally or give you a easy project to turn around.
Or are you still getting my/Ches's old rig?

Hump Day!
Finally going back to work - just in time for the long Wednesday-Thursday pull, but at least I'll be in good shape to go floating this weekend! I just hope the wife doesn't bail out on me and leave an empty seat in the canoe...

Alas the best advice I have ever heard "get two beers and jump" too funny. I'm sure you all know where that came from, other than the Jimmy Kimmel show he just sang it on his late night show.
So good evening to all there, its already 06:50 Thurs AM and not going to work till midnight here.
Later all, remember stay off Craigs-devil-list now interested in a 87 ranger 4x4 460 auto
F150 axles w/lockers and 38's with headers thru the hood.

I'd like to "Just say no" to this heat. Actually, I'd like to say a lot more but I try not to use that kind of language plus this is a family friendly site.
