Garrett,

Glad you enjoyed the weekend.. I have been asked to pass on thanks to everyone from Victoria by our host Evan at the motel.

He enjoyed the guys staying. He is still talking about that 180 pass down the back street. In fact he is asking a hell of a lot of questions about your Superformance cobra. They may have an interested punter. He is even talking of selling the Corvette convertable and his Holden Special Vehicle.

Have spoken with Jason who told me you guys had a fantastic trip back with a few runs at 170 and some great sounding passing moves through the hills.

Since your visit to Mt. Gambier I have been at the workshop in Melbourne and have really made progress with four solid 9 hour days on the car. Its amazing how much you can achieve when motivated.

All parts now fitted and aligned on the body. Chassis basically finished with a tidy up required before I paint it. Boot finished with fuel tank only to go in. Have put the jacks on the front and back. Windscreen in and roll bar also all done.

It is great to sit in and see how low I am. It is like my old hotrod with just my shoulders and head above the door line. In fact I am sitting about 1 - 1/2 lower than Jason does in his car. Yes it is kart style with seat on the floor under the chassis.

The motor and box are now in. I am keen to get it started. You may recal its the ex Mike Moore motor from that car with the 'lift' off body. 351 windsor strocker to 377 with Victor Jnr, 750 Holley and Ice ignition. etc. So you can imagine I am keen to get it going.

Will be back in Melbourne next week at McDonald Bros. Racing to do some work. Let me know if you are in Thomastown and I will give you direction.

Will talk soon


Bernie
