So this weekend moving junk around the basement I came to the realization I've got enough bits and pieces to build a complete engine. I've got a block, two cylinder heads, two cranks, a couple of camshafts, all the outside bits.

Then I came to my senses. Time and money need to be spent on the project I already have going just getting Midgie running reliably.
 
Right... send those bits to me and I'll put them to good use. :wink:
 
But, but, how are we going to catch Tony?
 
If I started in earnest today I don't think I could ever catch up with the stores that Tony has.

Once I'm "comfortable" with progress on Midgie I may start putting another engine together. I'd like to have one as a test bed to try out different bits and pieces.
 
I always thought it would be fun to build an extra engine and keep my eye out locally for one. It would not be fun if I was having to rebuild the one in the car and couldn't go for a drive whenever I wanted.

Who ever dies with the most parts is still DEAD!!! :devilgrin:
 
Yep, and whoever knows the widow who wants all that "car crap" cleared out of her basement/garage for a song is the real winner.
 
A good friend of mine once said that I could build a whole car from all my parts.
So I did. And I drove it for 12 years before I sold it.
And I still have way too many parts.
 
Car parts are sorta like rabbits ... they tend to multiply quickly. With that said, why is it that I can never find the part I'm looking for even though I know it's there somewhere?
 
Miss Agatha also seems to collect parts. It's as though she just can't beleive that when she needs something I will make sure she gets it.
 
Jack, Miss Agatha is collecting parts because she wants a "friend" in the garage with her....she is just making you THINK they are spares she may need one day.... :laugh:
