    I'm back with a certain amount of guilt! Finally the spark is starting to ignite my enthusiasm for getting back to the Eh. All full of piss and vinegar, I got this far before changing my mind on brakes. I'm hoping to get some credit for the brand new Wilwoods against Bolling Bros. 39 Lincoln drums.

    Well boys and girls,....it's been crazy time last several months. We have vacated California. Texas is our new home. Moving a household and garage of 25 years was a m***ive job.
    Got the A down on all fours for the first time. Pretty pleased with the initial stance.

    But just before the move date, the panhard bar bracket on the Roadster broke, ****!!!,...had to quickly weld it up just to get the car on the transport.

    Loading went pretty smooth with the help of a few buds.

    Scored a four car garage in Texas. But it will take awhile to get functional.

  8. Nice size garage Bill! Moving is a huge job! ...and lotsa fun work imagining and setting up a new workspace/shop/garage.

    I guess you'll need to update your location :)

    Welcome to Texas. There is a lot of hot rodders around this area of Texas.

    Looks like you've got it covered, Bill! Now, you just have to work the plan. Good luck!

    Finally found a Weber side draft with capacity for the Hemi. It arrived one day before our departure from Calif. Now my design and fabrication skills will be put to the test,....after I fix the panhard bracket. It's a combo, married to the Lightning manifold, I've imagined since day one.
