    Nope. It became painfully obvious that there was no way to get it done in time -- not even close. I emailed Mel last week. :mad:

    We're selling all the stuff off, keeping the Carlquist Flatty, and will come up with something else for next year.

    I plan to be there to spectate, though. And help out if needed.

    Kick it if you can.. Via Daniel Travis> "Documentary that will cover part of this event. will be following Sean Brayton who will race this event in a 1913 Indian and Bob who will race a 1925 Ford Model T. This documentary was partly put together by myself and by Mostly by Sean, so that we could share this world which I considered as a sub culture to basically the rest of the world. There are many people I know who find this interesting unfortunately its not enough. We have come up short with funds so I was hoping that you will help support our campaign which is on kickstarter. If you decide to help us out that would be great because I would hate to see this project fall apart now seeing that I've been working on it for amonth now for free and well honestly I feel like I've entered into an amazing world that I can't leave unfinished, so if you support us that would be great."

  7. I apologize for some of the language and general stupidity but it is officially a running and moving vehicle . i took it out for a lap around the shop and then had freddie POMP and sniff take it out for a lap or two so i could get some bad video of it. still have no brakes . gonna do those this week i have all new brake cylinders ready to go and gotta get a set of shoes re lined ,but should be able to get glass in it within the next week and button up the brakes . bolt down the seat and floor sections and permanent wire it and have a week or two to beat on it around here a little to make sure it's ready for the beach !!! WOO HOO this thing went from not running or moving in 64 years (i've had it a year) to driving under its own power tonight in about 3 weeks with a motor and tranny swap and just basic clean up ,somewhat permanent temporary battery box and fuel cell in the back !!!
