I can not drive without my leg out straight or almost so although it is getting better daily but so slow.

Miss Agatha is pouting stuck in the garage so long.

So, I am going to remove the seat back and see if I have enough room. If so I will, of wood, build a seat back that wedges between the back of the seat base and the front of the ledge. I will use like half inch by 8 wood. Remember now this is only temperary as my leg gets better.

Anyway, I am tired of setting. I have read maybe 15 books and watched stupid TV till I am sick of it.

Jack,

After all it is FL. Go find yourself an orange crate.

I'd be real careful, I drove Bugsy around the block without the D.S. bolted down and it was more than a little scary. Seat was moving around under me and I did not have a proper platform so I could operate the pedals. It's still too hot down there for you anyway. There muist be some sort of other tinkering for you to do. Go and visit your buddy with the big garage down the street. September and October and nice FL top down weather is coming . Be patient and don't screw up your leg for the good driving weather just around the corner.
