Times 2 Jack!! Pics please!?!?!

We drove to Oklahoma to day, met with Tim, decided what to do (with Wesley Smith's advice) and left it sitting there. We're going with some black with dark reddish brown accents. Tim's going to pull the black tuck & roll seatcovers and sew in the reddish brown pleats. I'm looking at two to 3 weeks for a return trip to pick it up. Tim did say that he would send progress photographs.

This is the only image I have so far - sitting in Mickey D's parking lot somewhere in the Oklahoma hinterlands. I absolutely hate dolly towing, but my Escape won't take anything large.

Jack, Good choice goin to Tim, he'll make ya proud.

Thanks for the update Jack (and the pic), hope it all comes together for you.

so did you take out the drive shaft???? or run the new cooler to keep the trans cool????

Yes!!!! and No!!!!

BTW, I can actually determine an interrogative sentence with but a single question mark.

sorry but I guess that when I'm typing I leave my finger on those keys a little too long and they add multiple marks-

Looks nice Jack! I can't wait to see the new stitches too!

Jack, Was up @ Tims 2day. Saw yer coupe, he's doin a great job on it.
Looks like it'll be a fun driver.

Thanks for the heads up, Don. I'm really anxious to see some photos.
Wes and Tim worked out the color scheme. The only thing I had to do with it was to say "OK, go!"

Man too bad you cant tow something a bit larger. I have a 18ft roll back with a winch that tows like a feather, and would be happy to let you use it.

I don't even have a truck that will tow it anymore.

I appreciate the offer, but the Escape wouldn't handle it. It has 240 HP, but handling and braking are dicey enough with just the dolly. Side note: I had forgotten how freakin' noisy U-Haul trailers are - especially empty.

They sound like you are losing parts at each mile marker.

Jack,
Just a thought, but we sometimes rent a vehicle for a day, a weekend or a week if we have a special need, like needing to haul around six adults in relative comfort or wanting a high mileage car for a longer trip. Some of the companies have pickups, and our local Ford dealer also rents F150/250 trucks by the day, week, month.

Thanks, Roger. I'll consider it next time around.
