For those of us on the sidelines who watched what jdog went through, it was getting pretty close to unreal - and he gets all the credit for hanging in there. Glad to see it all worked out.

Thumbs up My garage is a warm & friendly place!

Thanks everyone, it's all been worth it.

Duane, I went for a ride today in Kmarcoco's ERA with a new 428 that Tom built for him, WOW! I can't wait!
Do you have any pull with Tom at FE Specialties?

jdog
P.S. I'll be seeing Tom soon!

Thumbs up Update

I ordered the trans & other parts needed for the engine installation, from FE Specialties, yesterday! I will take my car in to Tom's in 2 weeks. She should be on the road by mid July. This is getting exciting!

Also, thanks to George at Gessford, for shipping me some of the parts I need, so quickly. Your the Bomb, George!

Now I just need a few items from Finish Line and a couple of battery's and she should be ready to run!

I'll post some pictures of the installation.

jdog,

Glad to hear you are working with Tom at FE Specialties. He is the best in my book! I'm hoping he is going with us for breakfast to Angels Camp tomorrow morning. I know what it's like to have real issues trying to get your car done. Glad to see that it's finally coming together for you!

Hope to see you soon, John

Default How's My License Plates Coming Along?

Jdog,

I'm gonna need my plates real soon for CSX4794 - taking it home tomorrow in running condition!!!!

Enjoyed meeting you the other day when you picked up your car. It is a beauty. Good luck with your build.


Mark

P.S. - Try to stay in your lane when hauling your car. I followed you for about a mile and your trailer was weaving pretty well.

Smile Rear view mirror!

LOL, I think it was because I couldn't take my eyes from the rear view mirror! I wasn't watching where I was driving.

It was a pleasure to meet you as well, your car was looking almost done when I was there. What a beauty! You should post some pic's!

I'll check on your plate next week.

jdog

Default Its Home

Jdog,

Picked up CSX 4794 this A.M. and drove it home. Now in my garage with 150 miles on it.

Wow!

That's all I'm gonna say - But you should be pretty motivated to get yours on the road.


Mark

P.S.: Pretty Please - I need my plates - Is it you or the DMV that is sitting on this?
