Road trip gone bad..blown motor in Oklahoma

good luck, sounds like things are working out

 

bummer..........that sucks Paul, sorry to hear that....especially after all the prep...I'll update the guys at the BBC on wed. night, if you need anything from back here just e-mail me... good luck

 

AV8Paul, After reading this and seeing the help your getting from these guys and knowing I am going to be "out there" flatheadding (god willing)

I joined the alliance in hopes I someday can help or be helped...

Bunch of good people here looking out for each-other.. good deal..

 

After all of the help I got from the HAMB and fordbarn.com, I became an alliance member yesterday. I'd been meaning to sign up for a long time, just needed a wake up call.
Man what a web site.....not another one compares to it.

 

UPDATE:

The car is in Texas. I'm in Roswell, NM in a rental car. Fred Landis from the fordbarn, hauled the car, my wife and me down from McAlester, OK. He's leaving for AZ, with my car, on Thursday. A loaner engine is waiting for the car to arrive. Should be driving early next week. I should be in Fountain Hills tomorrow afternoon.

 

there are some awesome people in this world..

 

You folks have our thoughts and best wishes.

 

paul your in good hands

 

The HAMB is a community, we help each other out. Way better than Triple A!

 

And thats why I like it here. Good luck with the car Paul . Rob.

 

Paul, glad to see everything is working out, despite your engine problems...
Sounds like some GREAT people are helping you out!

Looks like your making some good headway now, Paul...you'll be back in the saddle in no time from the sounds of things. Keep the updates coming and have fun with it!

 

What a Bummer. But, on the bright side, at least something else didn't let go, that may have caused an accident, or injury. You can always fix the Flattie. I know it's still a Bummer, but that's the best Pep Talk I could come up with. All the best of luck to you both.

 

Wow leave it to the Hot Rod community to jump in and help a fellow New Englander! Good luck on the rest of the trip!!!
CHUCK

 

Paul, glad you're making process. How does using a loaner engine work? When do you have to give it back? Just borrowing it while yours is rebuilt? (Inquiring minds want to know )

 

paul, i am in mesa and if i can help, just let me know.

 

Wow, great news - the HAMB at its best .....

 

That's tooooooo cooooool. More of a great opportunity for adventure than a trip gone bad!

 

Good luck on the rest of your trip.
Tom

 

Life's an adventure and this is just another bump in the road! I'm sorry for your trouble (easily could have been me in a Flathead roadster enroute to LA Roadster show last year!) but I'm glad the good people of the HAMB and Fordbarn are helping you out. Phoenix guys are a great group, they'll get you taken care of.

Have a great trip, keep us posted on your progress!

 

Morning Paul,
Sounds like things are finally coming together. I live just a little South of fountain Hills and have a good friend who is a flathead guru,has been here forever, and always has a few parts. If we can help, Cell 480 363 2267. good Luck, Dave, maybe see you at GG.
