    It was the alternator belt and a chrome pulley. It's fixed now.

    Yes, I'm smiling! Yes, I'm excited. Don has done an amazing job. I haven't seen the car together; that will happen sometime tomorrow. I guess I should try to get some sleep!

    I will be at 40 Day. Remains to be seen if the car will be there with me. It'll be great to see you either way.

  18. One of the best 40s! One of my favorite changes you made was the wheelbase stretch which cured the "overbite" look that is the ONLY thing that bugs me about 40s.

    Very gratifying weekend. We won a (shared) award for "Top 2 Under Construction Winner"; Don, Ethan, and I all had an opportunity to drive it around on the road and at the fairgrounds. Needs some sorting, but it's gonna be big fun.
