    I'm disadvantaged! Just sent the extra bucks to me. Maybe then I can afford a room at the La Playa.


    Just kidding! I think your choice of staying one day and donating the difference to charity is terrific. Wish more people were like minded.

    When we go to the Run, we usually stay Wednesday thru Sunday, but then we live about 900 miles north and a one day stay would b tough. We were registered last year, but then I broke my arm and the trip was canceled. Can't make it this year, because we are going to Tampa for the Nats.

    Ambitious goal Pops!!! I'm sure you CAN do. My only concern is when someone sets a goal that doesn't meet their temperament. I think I remember an old codger on here who was going to "slap" together a T bucket for somewhere around $3k.....................but his pride of workmanship and good taste drug him into making it a very nice ride........and blowing the budget BIG TIME!!! What ever happened to that ol' reprobate?

    Oh yeah........................

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    I don't seem to remember the incident to which you refer, Bob. Musta been on some OTHER forum.

    Dave, yeah I agree with the rushing thing, but lots of the hard stuff is already done, like the engine, engine mounting, rear suspension, front suspension, etc. Plus even if Dan has to drive my T to Daytona, he is going to finally know what it's like. Poor kid has missed too many years already.

    Bob, as soon as it cools off a little, and I get my house chores done ( ) I'm heading over there. Also waiting for the spring shop to call me to tell me the main leaf is done.

    31 5w, I agree, very noble thing of you guys to do, helping others out that way. We are trying to arrange a thing with Hotroddaddy, Gastrick, and others from Florida to get together some evening for a beer or bite to eat. Would love to meet any others going, regardless of where you are from. We'll figure out more as the time gets closer.

    Bob (Mopar34), might get to see you in Tampa. At least the T should be running by then.

    Jack, no I swear it will be flat this time for sure.

    Far be it from me to snicker "i told you so" (anyone else hear that echo? ), but at least you've got a good cause as your distraction, you guys are a real family!

    Thanks Bob and Bobby. Yeah, some things are more important than making a deadline. It's nice to see Don back in the shop working on something again.......haven't gotten to see much of him the past two years as he has been working 5 days and playing 6 nights a week. I'm looking forward to having both of them there again.
