Spring group run 2023.

[dsrace]

Budlight says plenty of sites open last week of April. How does that work for everyone?

Carl? Bigdave?

[dsrace]

So doug spurred everyone to decide o. That last week of April per a mass text. Sounds like Mike, bullfight, Allan and Doug reserved there sites.  I have not and will not until I have a running and driving rail. I got the accy wire harness stripped and started rebuilding it over the weekend. If there are not sites available then I will figure it out.

I'm in the same Boat DS. at this point transaxles replacement is a long way off. my guess maybe next fall. i will have it back together.

understandable big dave !

I hope to fire scotts off this weekend. Thats if the coil pack shows in a usable condition. We will see if the radiator leaks at that time. Gutted the 11 relays and 2 fuse block box. I only need 4 relays and 6 fuses for that rail. Son in law and grandson helped Friday evening for a bit.  Removed all the undergrowth lights. Replaced the taillights with led straps and removed all 6 chrome bullet lights with led bars on order. May run it for a while as I am kind of wanting a full body rail with the overhaul this winter. May not be done till next fall.

I need scotts running so that I don't miss anymore trips.

.   Dave, do you rebuild your own transmissions or send them out somewhere?

I have fingers crossed to have the 427 ready for spring but who knows when Liberty gets my valves done and then I have to send head to Jesel for them to make the custom/correct geometry rockers for them. SHit,I'm probably still 6 months out  before I have all the parts. Hope this old Nascar engine holds up till then.

Thanks. So far, all is good. Really, it is enough engine but more is always better.

I have heard great comments about az transaxle but never personally used them. Shane is only 1.5 hrs away but he only works on them after his day job so takes prob twice as long.  You'll get it repaired when you can  ....... or maybe you'll find a 2d or hv24 used??!!  .  One just never knows what will fill into your lap when you searching the net really hard

Booked!  Now to just get in a house w a garage. Still have a few tweaks.

[fabr]

That's great Carl. It's been too long!

[dsrace]

definitely been too long carl! now buy that women and house with a garage so she can park out side so there's room for the rail 

we booked site 636 last night.

[Carlriddle]

Crickets.lol.

We finially close on new home end of March. 4 months later than original exp completion date. So rail will have a home. But lot to do to get settled in, see if car will run, replace toilet as water valve kept leaking last trip. We will make trip if all goes well on both fronts. No room for delays! 

[dsrace]

Glad to hear that is finally coming together.
Hope everything aligns and you 2 can make the trip. Always good to see you but if there is a hiccup .....completely understandable.

I completely understand unforseen circumstances!!
