Part 4 - Done!!! Shows and the day it died.. (I need to thank HDP for keeping me company during this HORRIBLE experience... I got the car towed to his house and then from there I drove the car home (80+ miles) with blown coolant seal. Just kept my eyes on the oil temp and did min. damage to the engine.

phil, is this old news or new?

Hoods and wheels go quickly on that one huh?

[Kelton]

Lol, It's not everyday you get to see an FD on the trailer :p

I miss the black FD, I haven't seen it in YEARS!

Phils cars are always the nicest I see anywhere. He really takes pride in his cars. Unlike me, who is always in a rush to start a new project before I finish the one I'm on.

Can't wait for this thing to have a 20B.

Mike, this is old news :)

I found some old pics when I was cleaning up my office. Anyhow, its getting me fired up about getting the blk FD finished up. Garfinkle is helping me resolve couple of things and as soon as I feel better, I'm going to drive in to get the car finished up... Hopefully by DGRR 09 :)

get er done and I will come this year to Deals gap...

On another note, I am looking to have Ray Wilson down in the next 4-6 weeks so if you are complete or know of any "quality" cars that need a tune let me know. I say "" because I want it to be worth his time and actually have cars that are ready to be tuned not one with issues....

[David Jerome]

If it is closer to 6 weeks I will have a customer who will drive down and have his car tuned.
