Doug, Boudy called me yesterday, had just got off the horn with the shipper from Miami.

BDR # 139 will arrive in Dallas Saturday, July 10.

Heater/engine install Mon-Wed, 200-mile shakedown cruise, fine tuning, tighten every nut and bolt they can reach, then into Boudy's trailer for the trek north. Indigo blue, white stripes, black interior.

I'm looking at delivery to my driveway maybe... Monday, July 19.

Went to my Dr. Monday for my knees, he agrees that they are shot. Knee brace and meds. Started talking about the BDR (he has owned several 70's vintage Porsche 911's) and I got so excited that he gave me a prescription for Librium to calm me down until the little car gets here.

Good shi**, that Librium. Beats breathing into a paper bag. Supposed to take three a day- forgot the last two, so I took 3 about an hour ago.

Engine starts with a KeithCraft short block, add Air Gap intake, Holley carb, MSD ignition, March pulleys, Performer RPM heads, Ford Racing timing set, Comp Cams roller cam, Scorpion roller rockers, Manley HV oil pump, Tremec 3550, Ford Cobra clutch, 3.47 rear-end screws instead of the stock BMW 3.10's.

Boudy promised me 400+ crank HP, waiting for the chassis dyno, the REAL test. Hoping for 320 RWHP.

Guess I should have PM'd you with this, too late.

Did I mention that Librium is good shi**?
