Homecoming Next Week (knock on wood)
Well, I visited the Kirkham #539 this afternoon, again. She's a runner. Hall Fabrication & Racing in Benicia has been installing the engine and tranny as well as a few other extras. I bought it in October 2007, the engine was built around March 2008 and I dropped it off at Hall Fab in May 2008. They're going to keep it for a few more days next week, just to sort out anything that needs to be sorted out. Also, they'll be corner balancing it and also weighing it. Hall Fab changed the mufflers from the stock Kirkham setup to some Hushpowers, which is a division of Flowmaster. Thus, they're not quite as loud, but supposedly flow better due to less restriction. Can't prove it, but I'll go with it for now.
Now I need to get my TOP so I can drive it next week. The shop is about 90 minutes from home, so I don't know whether I will flatbed it home or drive it home with a someone on my tail.
Almost one year and I'm real excited to get it home. Then off to the CHP and BAR.
