Miss Agatha is so excited when I opened the door this morning and she saw the trailer. She knows whats up it seems. She was so excited I did not even need the choke, out the door and up the ramps. Now she is backed into the garage for the night.

She's on, straped down, tires checked and shined including trailer tires, straps taped, fluids checked, vacummed, and good to go. Tis a lovely sight.

Man you can just see her leaning forward. She is preaty clean but not a show job, supose to rain on us tomorrow some. She even has a full tank of gas. Not sure how that happened but it did. All systems go. Even put the trailer spare tire in a very large plastic bag and stuck it in the tow cars trunk. Can't have momas clothes getting dirty.

With her behind, sure hope she dosn't want to pass, it is like haveing a dingy just in case.


Beep beep, Bugeye comming through. Expect to arrive late afternoon Wed.
 
Hey, that is great Jack. Can't wait to meet the both of you. I put a spacer under my carb today after I made it out of this bake-lite stuff, I got a scrap of from work. Drilled and tapped a hole and made a port into the intake and got some good vacuum on the crankcase. Tried all that out and it worked ok. Then changed the oil, that oil was black and dirty, make me nervous after only 600 or so miles on a re-ring and bearing job, but Oh, well. Oil pressure is nice and high. Then I cleaned the car underhood good (cation do not use purple cleaner) the paint on my valve cover and head started to be removed by this stuff. Cleaned under hood and underneath while I was at it. Washed all the outside. Took for a test out drive to dry it off. Tomorrow, I will vacuum the interior real good and then a coat of wax on the front for the trip and then load and tie him down. Then I will unhook and roll the trailer with car on it into the garage. Then clean up the truck a bit and leave them like that until Wed am at 0330.
 
Gave mine her annual bath, wax and vacuum today.
She is what she is.
Change the oil tomorrow, do a final check.
T minus 3 days, 12 hours and 40 minutes. No systems reporting no-go.
 
Kim, I will be intrested in that vacume port you made.
 
Ahhhh, in any case I will learn something.
