Most probably aren't as lucky as myself to consider your neighbor as one of your best friends. My boy, Jimmy, next door and I are tight. Jimmy's best bud, Brian, died back in January from complications; he was an esophageal cancer "survivor". The memorial service scheduled for March got interrupted by C19, so the make up date is this Saturday. Brian was a member of a large motorcycle club; Jimmy and his son are riding their bikes, and my plan was to drive the Olds. I had been waiting on the Italian reverse gear for a few months, and there's still no ship date. I grabbed my ankles and told them to send the Ding How BS; it's only reverse. Low and behold, I got a delivery notice that it will be here tomorrow. Tomorrow night is thrash night. Brian, I'll haul the cooler, and you get a full on burnout to boot if ya help me get it together. Let us pray to the gods of horsepower and speed.... 🙏
 
Wishing you the best in getting it back together. If I was anywhere in your area, I would be there in a minute to help. Keep us posted.

I think I should be good. I swapped out the drag radials for the street tires last night. Tonight should just be putting the tail shaft housing on, adjusting the shifter, installing the trans, driveshaft, exhaust, and bleed the clutch. Then, put the console back in.

Oh, that’s all, should be done in no time. 🤣

Hope everything goes smoothly!
 
Not going well. Stuck on getting the input in the pilot. I totally jinxed myself. 😡
Take a step back, have a beer, then give it another shot. Give the spirit a shot to drop in and do some work.

Drunk *ss passed out, snoring. I'm friends with the girl he's banging's mom, and she said he grinds his teeth. I guess I better not teabag him.

Maybe can't teabag, but, could hop in the driver seat and lay on the horn while he's laying underneath...
