When we would start the AA/FA at home we would call the cops.
Local patrol guy was racer friend if he was on duty he came buy.
We told the neighbors the cops made us start it.

We have moved to a complex where it never get old starting the car.
Now if they would move the Day Care Center closer we might find some new fans!!!

My Dad was not a so called "Hot Rodder" but was always a gear head.   He was a farmer all his life and built a lot of machinery him self and enjoyed racing.  When he retired, he and mom moved to town. There was a guy down the street with a Pulling Tractor and most nights would Rev-Tune his engine.  While the neighbors complained, Dad thought it was COOL!

Once a Gear Head always a Gear Head!!   God bless you Dad!

Ponti:
Probably not as exciting as most, but I have got the frame stripped down of all parts so I can start to paint. Also started to clean up the diff housing, smooth it out ready to prime and paint.

It has been a beautiful day in Alabama and for the first time in quite a while I'm feeling good enough to enjoy it.  SOooo, I mounted my steering box on the new chassis.  (Roo Man saved me some money on the steering box, housing ends, spindles and a few other small things.) Roo also clued me in on the fact that these steering boxes are TIGHT when new, (I needed supervision).  I temp. assembled the steering just for grins and a photo op. These pieces will be going to Jason Lysaght for chroming, one of these days.  Also dropped the oil pan on the Loud Mouse, which was removed yesterday for a torque converter change and bottom check. New bearings en-route from Summit. Cheers, Allan
