Thanks Dave all the suspension is done so its a bolt together roller now . I have the engine block ready to assemble also . Should see some big changes in the next few weeks . You guys are doing great also Might all get a maiden voyage in real soon .


Randy that is a good fit for the back seat , wondered what you have been doing to the 37 . Bet you spend more time driving the truck around getting good seat time .

Hey Bobby, yeah, the 37 kinda took a "back seat" to the truck for a little while. The truck is my daily driver & I had to do some tweaking on it. I'm definitely getting some good "seat time" in it but now it's time to get back on the car.

That chassis is looking good! Any progress on your 37?

We should all set some kinda goal to have our cars road worthy in say, 2 years, then drive them to meet each other at some central location.....just a thought....

Randy he will be starting on mine soon . I am waiting on the rear spring assembly then all the new suspension is there . Went with TCI parallel , hope it lowers it enough where I don't have to use a block .

Forced vacation can never be a good thing but at least it provided some time to work on the car! So there is alway the silver lining!

What do you think of Randy's idea of meeting up with our cars? I'm excited about it already!

[Don Shillady]

I'm making good progress on the book with a few details left and looking forward to getting back to the car.

Sounds like it could be a great time . Randy is about a 40 hours or more drive west of me and your are a easy 20 hours east so I am almost in the middle . We would have to ship Randy here and drive east a little but still sounds great .

My engine is coming together and should be ready to be placed back in the rails this week end . Mount the trans and sit the body on for some finalizing on the pedal assembly's .

I agree, it has the possibilities of being the most fun you can have with your pants on!

I'm sure we could find some midwest location to hookup at! Dave & the Professor will be coming in from Virginia or there abouts. I think I'll be the furthest North of this gang.

Bobby, mapquest says I'm only 29hrs 51min from you or 2015 miles. Could be a fun little road trip. I would definitely have to get my cruise control hooked up!

[bluestang67]

30 hours would be about 3 days travel time for me . Not into long hauling it anymore . If we have it planned for 2 years also should have the 37 rolling . Just received the TCI rear spring kit the other day .
