Well just drat! Last weekend I installed all new brake lines. Then I ordered new flex lines for the calipers and also two new Brake fluid resevoir bottles. I was hpoing the stuff would arrive Friday so I could have spent the week end working on it. Instead, it arrived teh following Monday and minus one of the two bottles I had ordered (and paid for). I know it was an honest mistake, but just darn!
 
Know your pain, I ordered a new top on 6/23 for BJ8 I am finishing. They said I would have it in 5-7 days. I still don't have it, I called Monday and they said I should have it Friday (maybe).

Still thinking about starting a 64 XKE coupe this Fall if I don't change my mind and do a TR3. Its been 10 years still I did my 68 roadster.

Tony,

I've been out in the Garage working. Now at the front door waiting for UPS. Come over and see the new projects. I've changed out several cars since you have been here.

W C Handy Festival is next week so you can come listen to some music as well. Karen sings Monday, Wed and Sat.

Might have to make the Handy.....you still building cars out at your Dad's?
 
Sorry I didn't get over for the Handy....cleaning out my used parts sheds all day! You know how that goes, eh, Marvin....
 
Handy is just starting. It runs this whole week, thru the 25. You still have time. Karen sings Monday night, Weds lunch and then 8-10 that night. Again on Sat. night at the all stars jam. I won't get much LBC work done this week.

I had the opportunity to hear her sing at the Handy festival when I was in Huntsville on business a couple of years ago (also met Marvin). I had a couple co-workers in tow. It was definitely the highlight of the trip.

Just realized I never ordered Karen's CD...no wonder my drives have been so boring.

Checks in the mail.

Which reminds me - Marvin - re-post the link to the site where her CD can be purchased!

Nothing currently planned, but with the work I'm involved in, Huntsville is a common stop, so I'm sure I'll be that way eventually.
 
Marv - you want some of my junk before I take it to the crusher?
 
Tony,
Like you, I have scaled back some. Not doing any MGBs at all. Would like to sell all my MG stuff. Will buy XKE's, TR4/250, TR6s and 3000s.
