Another build thread? Yep, my track-style T

Jim, you and I have a lot of catching up to do. You are so right about the heat, any time I go to the shop it is 95 degrees in there and even if I do the smallest thing I am fried when I leave. It finally cools off SLIGHTLY at night, but not enough to motivate me to get any work done. Dan and I spent Friday and Saturday completely cleaning the shop and office and I am sore and tired. It was a total wreck and probably one of the reasons we didn't feel like doing any work there.

My rpu project is still clamped to the welding table, waiting for Dan to weld some on it. I shelved working on it so we could devote all our attention this past Spring to getting Dan's rpu done for Billetproof in April. We did get his done, went to Billetproof, and he took Best Truck and Best of Show. That made all his work for the past 5 years worthwhile and he is still on cloud 9 about that.

But his engine is in a million pieces right now as we had a oil consumption issue. A new block is at the machine shop right now as we had had it with the one engine and are starting completely over. Turkey Run is only 4 months away so we are humping to get the engine done and running for that.

So there it is. This post was like one of the Xmas letters you get from distant family, telling you how wonderful their lives are and that the dog got neutered. Looking forward to seeing you at TR this year.

PS, Jim, just to show you that his car actually, finally did hit the road for a while, here is a short video he made:
