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

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.

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.

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,

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?

3 days, Mark!
Our (PIA, Prison Industry Authority) agreement with DMV, requires that we make & ship all personalized plates in 3 days. We always hold to this. Trust me on this one, I've made many-a-license-plate during lockdowns. The staff will make them if necessary.
Personalized plates never sit at Folsom more than 3 days!

P.S. I could ask "Lefty & Deadeye" to sign them for you!
