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?

Brent · 01-08-2009, 10:40 PM

look forward to it finally being finished!

Hoods and wheels go quickly on that one huh?

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

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....

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