Hi! Studiog

I was quite busy this summer and did not get much done on the Fuelie. The wife and I took the 61 270HP on an NCRS road tour to the BOSTON National Convention. Had a "GREAT" time! Got to observer judge the 61's and picked up some great knowledge that will help me with my project.

Janet and I became grand parents twice this year (two grand daughters). So we had a couple of trips to Connecticut (grand daughter two) and Maryland (grand daughter one).

I did get the 61 FI off the frame, inspected and evaluated the parts that came with the 61 and created an inventory of parts needed. I purchased all the after market parts needed and had them delivered to Carlisle. (great savings on freight) I also purchased some original hard to find parts while there.

I took the frame to the sand blasting company yesterday and will pick it up tomorrow. Quick coat of DP-90 to protect it and I will set it to the side until I have all the suspension-steering components completed and ready for assembly.

That is about it as this point, I hope to posts some pictures and up-dates, but this is my busy time (work) and I have a hard time getting into the shop.

Gary, Thanks for asking and when do you start your next car project?

Ray
