Wow Barb,that's a great story.Sounds like you and your mom were very close.I have followed your posts on your engine swap and think it's great.You are an inspiration to women who love cars but think they can't work on them.Like my dear ol dad used to say "tough times make tough people".You keep at it,we're proud of you.

everyone i am sure has horror stories. we just learn from them then decide which path to choose. I chose to live and learn. you can never forget but you can be determined to not repeat.BARB

Barb,thats a kool story,and I feel you have conquered more than most people,and to do what you have with your engine swap is even kooler,,My wife is a car girl,and her father taught her to change her own oil,tires,etc.
As she says,"What doesnt kill you,makes you stronger''..
Keep it up,you are an inspiration to many..Micah 6:8
If we aren't supposed to have midnight snacks,,,WHY is there a light in the refrigerator???

Great story Barb. Keep us posted on the start up. The guys here helped me wth my original 429, with similar issues when I bought it. That experience was so positive I decided to stick around, glad you have too!"

Me too, Barb. Whenever I scan the current threads to see what's going on, I'm always happy to see something from you there.

That is what makes this forum so great, real flesh and blood people who come across as more than just someone sitting behind a keyboard.

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
