Larry, same with my new project. Went to run the car and found we had a bad cylinder. My future plans sound like yours. A lot of future work and $$$. Good luck with dumbo.

Larry,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but your grade points for 2020 will be a challenge for you?

Larry Hill · 09-02-2019, 12:45 PM

I will fix that

They can still average the last three years as well...Larry, sorry for all the adversity but know the reward will be that much sweeter.

Larry,
Please let me know if I can be of help in sourcing parts solutions or whatever. Depends on what the porosity issues are, but let me know if you need anything. Dumbo deserves to be flying!

Is this a 426 combo car, hence the Elephant (Dumbo) reference?

Larry Hill · 09-02-2019, 10:38 PM

Its a baby Elephant, 392, that's why its Dumbo. If it was a full grown HEMI it would have tusks and a much more menacing look.

I think all will be well after the water is kept in place. But trust me I'm not shy and I always want to listen to different ideas.

Thanks HB2, I have a plan of attack and need a little time to set it in motion. But to be honest a few more magic feathers might come in handy!

Back to the Pink Lady to gather some points?
