What are you doing today?

[GPster]

Wayne, I've delighted in your mention of your mother in various replies you've made on this forum. You've always made me feel like she was real life version of "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena". I'm sure she'll be missed but never forgotten. When you had mentioned previously that you were on 7/24 duty I assumed that this was coming. I hope you recover from the extended stress. GPster

I have spent the day getting ready to take the grandsons, and their parents, my Sister-in-law, wife, and my middle son to Disneyland tomorrow morning.  Have to get to the airport before 5:00am, since my Sister-in-law is a recovering cancer victim and needs wheelchair access.  The 10 year old is beyond the moon, and I am sure looking foward to being with him on his first trip there.  My parents (both gone now) were with us when we took our daughter for her first trip, about the same age as JT is now.  I remember how much fun they had with Becky.  The parents are my daughter and her husband.  JT is Joe's son, and he and Becky have residental custody of him, and we just love him to bits.

Sorry for your loss Wayne. Mines still with me, but not sure for how long as she is getting very frail, but at 92 I guess she's entitled to.

Trying is all any of us can do as well mate, you're obviously one of the good ones.

Shelby's Buick was stolen this morning, the Toledo police recovered it this afternoon, and it went to the impound lot. It has some damage, I have to pick it up at impound in the morning. Damage is to the steering column.

fitted 2 more  header tubes.  Cut n fitted together.  Need full welding now.

The tubes are in firing order in a circle of the collector.  that is method I was taught

[jaybee]

Fussy work, but it's looking very smooth at this point.

[Crosley.In.AZ]

Cut n fit the right side header tubes this afternoon.  Now I need to weld up all the tubes, then weld whole header together, then , then .  Probably another year or so.

1 3/4 inch tubes, with 3 1/2 inch collector.  Should support 400+ CID engine
