Well, I had a terrific day today and I didn't even turn a wrench on the car. The first visitor to my house was Nick Acton (Mickmate) and family, we had a great time, my wife cooked up dinner for all, and we were able to look at a few things on the car and talk about future projects. Nick had to run quickly as he was just stopping in on the way to New Jersey to install one of his beautifully crafted 40+ gallon custom gas tanks in an aluminum Shelby car. As he and his family were leaving, Rich (Cobrarkc) and John (ERA174) arrived. I formerly had a 351 Cleveland engine in my car, and replaced it with an FE. I had some header pipes left that were in good condition and gave them to Rich to use on his 351C Powered Contemporary. It was great meeting Rich and John, along with their friend Al, a Corvette owner. All in all a very nice day, meeting new friends and seeing old friends again. Thanks to all of you for stopping in, it was great to see you all. Tomorrow, it's back to turning wrenches. All who saw the car seemed to think it was decent looking and going in the right direction, the encouragement is much appreciated.
