We drove north up to Tacoma Wa, yesterday and the new trans did great, at 70 mph the rpms dropped from 3000 to 2000, drove back roads from Olympia back to Vancouver, very nice drive.

I have to rebuild the 2bbl for my 72 so I can move it. Leaks everywhere, will be my first proper rebuild. So I can move the truck around, so I can swap engines, and never use the 2bbl after that! But I'll learn.

Two weeks! I hope to put on close to 300 miles on the Polara in that time, did 60ish yesterday. Still need to do my tune up on it, but it was a beautiful day and we went for a ride, then extended it so we could go to a local watering hole and get an early lunch.

My dart is going through a few issues. Got a bad popping that was going on with the left bank figured out a hairline crack on the NOS plate. Figures. Just a few more things and finally it should be on the road again. Seems like the never ending project!

There a few here Cindy my old laptop died and has most of the 440 pics on it. Need to get some new ones just been busy with the lift day coming up next weekend and all the FABO members coming in to help. Started as a few now there are ten and a few from out of state. One actually from TX! I must be loved for some reason or is it that I grow hops and always have an abundant amount of beer around?
