Leaving,But not without a fight ???
I have often wondered if these cars we create and build have fellings. This is unreal.
I listed the coupe on ebay last week and it sold, after coming and looking and driving a couple of times we decided to do the deal. He only lives about 15 miles from me. An hour after he left he calls back and says hey the thing developed a rattle in the engine compartment and I nursed it home. Being an ex dragster driver and mechanic he analyzed the problem right away and said the alternator nut holding the pully and fan had come loose. I said let it cool and give me an address and I'll come up and we'll talk. I got there and he was ready to pull the alternator and go get it re-tourqued,me (felling awful) wanted to reverse the deal and he said hey no way. I said let me get it back to the house and i'll take care of the problem,no way he said.
We pulled the alternator and took it to O'Reilys and got it re-torqued. This morning we are finishing up. I am like thinking did the "Lil 34" say hey I aint leaving without making some noise.
Has anyone had this experience???Gone but not forgotten

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
