    Ok guys, I went back over everything. Made a call to Bill "Brokenspoke" this morning to ask a question about the clutch slave. Told him today was the day. About 1 1/2 hours later I hear a truck pull up and there was Bill. I couldn't have been happier. He was with me when we picked Tuffy up and now he's back. I told him "I'm about a 1/2 hour away and I'm so glad you are here". I have a made a lot of friends on the HAMB but Bill is the best part. I wouldn't trade his friendship for anything - not even Tuffy". Somewhere in the middle of my list we called Denise to wish her a Happy Birthday and tell her we would be driving Tuffy since it was her Birthday! The new clutch and linkage are a little funky but I'll adjust that after break in. Tanya filmed and Bill was my chase truck! I can't tell you what this felt like but childbirth is close! What a rush!

    RON BETTIN - THIS IS FOR YOU! WHEREVER YOU ARE, I HOPE YOU ARE SMILING!!! I KNOW YOU WERE WITH ME, THE WHOLE WAY!!




    I think I'll have a beer -maybe 3! HAMBER'S I could not have done this without your support. I love you all!

    Awesome! Tuffy looks and sounds great! Nothing like the first drive! Congrats Kathy - bet the fingers don't hurt at all now, huh?
     
  26. Oddly enough, I got a buddy in Lincoln with a chopped black 31 chevy coupe with "Tuffy" lettered on the decklid with a tuff little mouse...runs a Dual quad, 6-71 blown SBC. That car's been named Tuffy since the 50s..it's a great name
