Thanks Doug. Podunk is going to manufacture me a set of runners for the inlet manifold.
That's a gesture of note don't you think?.

I have to fight this fight. Hospital today and clinic tomorrow. Getting old.

Back in the saddle. PDF sent to Podunk and i'm busy on the rear end nightmare.
I can't post pics yet because the camera on the mobile phone qiut so as soon as I get
a new phone I'll have pics. Terry thank you. God Bless.

Mike---did you watch the K Derby?

[tauruck]

Sorry I didn't. Haven't had much to do with the horses lately.
I'm sure there'll be a replay on the racing channel here and I'll check
it out.

Got drawings and material ready for the trip to Geraldo.
I figure by the time he's done machining I'll be able to pay him.

Hey Mike....When John Buttera built his Indy car ..He leased a fully tooled 5 axis CNC machining center with a small down payment....His plan was to have all his parts made before he missed too many payments and it got repo`d...just a thought

[tauruck]

No fancy machines like that will ever grace my workshop floor. Distractions I don't need or can afford.
I leave each to his own. Got great guys that know their stuff and that works for me. My skills I use but the rest
goesto the pros.

Thanks for being a great friend Jerry and checking on my situation regularly. God Bless you and your family.

Nothing totally related to my build but the little Chevy Spark parts fetcher is getting bodywork done by a new sponsor.
Zina got side swiped by two taxis who failed to stop. Damage to both rear quarters and doors plus a tail lamp.
Greenstone Autobody is going to repair the car for some onboard advertising. Thanks Barry!!!!!.

I'llbe skinning the hood with some really nice Carbon I was given. Some nice wheels in the offing too I pray.

Two taxis? I'm glad she wasn't hurt, Mike.

Fender benders but the rats never stopped. One overtook on the shoulder in the dirt and one squeezed between lanes.
Probably unlicensed vdehicles and drivers. She didn't even get a partial plate on one of the two. Small damage but just everywhere.
Going to need two rear doors IMO.
She's fine thanks Neil. Me not so good. Damaged my index finger trying to set up those horrible garage door coil spring monsters.
Time will heal all.

[manta22]

That she is OK is good to hear.

Regarding your injury- it reminds me of the old joke: "

"So, you injured your F'ing finger?"

"No, the one next to it."

I'm on first name basis at the hospital. In and out.
Even the Uber guy gives me a good deal.
I heal like an alien. Working already.

Long car is looking tastier by the minute and it won't be long before I'm on it like a honey badger.

Sure wish I had your drive, energy and ambition, Mike. Glad to hear you are healthy again and ready to tear the world a new one.

Got this hankering for shaping and sanding now. The weather's right and I'll start tomorrow.
