First, on Saturday I dropped by Wilson TV and Appliance and talked with David Wilson. David is a hell of a nice guy, with a Porsche 911 and a 914. He gave me some advice on speakers for my car and made me a great deal. I hope we can get together with David sometime and go for a cruise or just talk cars. Thanks David!! I appreciate all your help and the deal you gave me.
Next, Jody and I worked on his truck. We didn't get as far as I wished, and we destroyed tools in the process. Several beers gave their lives in the effort to bring this truck back to life, and for that we will be eternally grateful. We've lost the harmonic balancer bolt, so that stopped our progress, but we're close to being ready to put the engine back in the beast.

(05-06-2008) The Great White Lump, Mk II
No, not the same white lump, this time it's a different white lump, but it has the same problem: blown motor. This is my friend Jody's pickup, and after a thermostat stuck and a severe overheat it needs a new engine. The new motor should arrive on Friday of this week, so maybe this weekend we can have it back on the road.
In other news, the door panels for the 911 arrived today and they look great! Still looking for speakers and other hardware to complete the doors. Looking forward to that project.
