Thread: Assmbling an engine for use later.

Thanks, thesals and caballero,

Naw. I don't have to work on it now, caballero. As I said, I'll put the parts back in the closet and put the engine together later. I just moved into my nice warm little shop because it's plumb frigid out under the carport where the truck is.

And thesals, yesterday I went to a reunion of (other) elderly drag racers in Frisco (Texas), guys who raced in this area in the fifties and sixties. A few of them have resurrected old coupes, roadsters, and front engine dragsters from that era. One man, Don Ross, has built (and brought) a perfect full size replica of Bobby Langley's beautiful "Scorpion" dragster of that era. Bobby was there. Anyway, the reason I'm telling you this is because one guy brought an old "slingshot" with a nailhead. Those gotta be the best looking engines ever made (and I was always a Chrysler man).

Also, thesals, go ahead! Rub it in about your 72 degree days! Just wait, a tsunami's gonna get you San Diegans one of these days! Just Wait.
