Was wondering that myself. Got a e-mail the other day (a joke) from him. My guess is that he is busy fixing some of his trans problems.:LOL:
Thats good to hear he is out in the shop . I even tried to locate his son in the phone book since he lives here in town by me . Also glad to hear some can email and not require the forum for contact.
Sorry guys
I am alive and kicking here in MI. I finished the 53 Ford drove it for about 2 months and sold it. I went thrugh 2 350 trans's and one 400. One 9 " ford rear and figured there was just more HP there than I needed. A guy over in OH bought it. I'm now working on the 57 hoping to have it on the road by spring(not sure what year , but spring) I thought I had the two most expensive hobbies in the world Hot Rods and Electric Trains:HMMM: , I've found another and been spending some time there. Ham radio. I also went to see a hand Dr. as my hands have been bothering me a lot lately. He took some MRI's and told me I have the worst pair of wrists he's ever seen. They are now talking about fuseing :confused: the bones together so they won't hurt:eek: :eek: I think I'll put up with the pain alittle longer. It just takes me a while longer to get things done:LOL: . I'll stop back later and see whats going on

Hey Charlie, let's trade xrays and see if the Docs can tell the difference.;)
I'll let you get fused first then check with you to see if they're telling the truth about losing "only" 60% flexibility. In the mean time I'll keep doing the exercises and wear the brace that limits thumb movement.
Good to see you're still kickin'!
Glad to see ya Charlie . You must have assembled one heck of a engine . Maybe i"ll keep the spare toploader if the T-5 gives out .
Glad to see the guys dragged you out of retirement Charlie! :D Any more if someone isn't around for a little while we start to worry.
Sorry to see the '53 go, I liked it a lot. Keep us posted on the other one though.

I guess I'll have to change the avitar I bought a 67 Fury III today. The wifes car will just slide back a little. This one realy as far as I could see dosen't need much. Paint and interior but all pans are good as is the drive train. I just couldn't turn it down. Going to be tough going back to Mopar havn't owned one since 64. I'll get some pictures when I pick up the car
