Brent, nice to talk to you at MUNCIE a few weeks back. I'm hoping everything works out this time. Posted pics of your 62 on the HAMB. Tom.

You too, Tom... Hope to see you out there more... tryin' to finish Bird up... maybe have it out in a week or 2!

Well, finished her up last night... settin it in over the weekend... all primed and ready to go. Hope to see a decent # out of it... I believe, if not too hot out, she will see a 11.30, with some traction.

Just got done setting engine in,,, Trans, converter and motor mounts all snug!

Gee, hope it didn't give you a "Hard -Time going together. If you did all of that work by yourself you must be a Tru-man!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I did it all myself... Good one, Tom! hehe

Got it running today...all seems well, so far... Broke it in, timing set at 33*, and will check it over, retorque, and go over my tune this week. Will take to track this coming weekend... Hopefully the weather will be good...

I hope you realize theres a bunch of us out here pulling for you guys to turn things around and have some success. You've definitely paid your dues,, I'm thinkin'.
Good luck the rest of the way to BOTH of you.

Thanks Danny and everyone else... So far, I think Rich has had way more to deal with, up to this point... Hoping both or our woes are about to cease...
We would probably be a good race... We need to do a match race down in BG, before the season ends...
