spring time....

Postby greenracing » Tue Apr 18, 2006 1:19 pm

Get too busy for a couple of weeks, and it takes me an hour to catch up on you guys...

Now that we can go outside in the evening with only a light coat on, it's time to start getting antsy. An no - I still don't have the car together. Thompson is resurfacing the track and delayed opening day, so I've got a couple weeks... (OK - i had a couple of weeks 2 weeks ago :roll: )

Got the chassis pretty much back together. The wishbone fits in there pretty well and the new wing struts look way cool compared to what was on there. Don't tell the resto-nuts that I had to cut 4 holes in a pristine original '51 Prefect trunk lid.

Made me a nice adjustable throttle stop so that I can easily adjust the volume.

Engine and tranny are left to go through, then I can put them back in.

Does anyone know if window nets expire? I read the book and it looks to me that the mesh style ones have a 2 year expiration, but that the ribbon ones don't. What are you guys' interpretation?

Hi Perry,

Good luck with everything.

I know of 1-sure way to find out on the net. If you go to the track and really, really want to make a pass. You will find out the net won't pass tech. Then your time, gas, and dollars are wasted, but you will have a definitive answer on your window net question. :lol:

We usually don't replace the net till the tennis ball goes through it repeatedly. :lol: :lol: :lol: Sorry, could'nt help it!
If you think it's exciting now, wait till we start it.

I spent the early morning adjusting all the springs in my mattress 2 turns each
