11-1-2007 Long overdue update

This post has a lot of updating.

I did go back to Run N Gun the next day and did take a few pictures that worked.





After that, another thing I did was look at a guy in Ballwin who had an unfinished kit for sale locally. It turned out that it was a little too homegrown for my tastes, a B&B frame with a hodgepodge of other stuff. The deal was quite good, but the lack of support and engineering was too much for me.

After that, I kind of focused on buying a finished car again, but the best one I found ended up selling for $24,000. It was out in California, so lots of issues in pulling that trigger. Not seeing it, transporting, etc. Very capable builder though; the car would have been fine.

Now, I am back to thinking that I may buy a kit and build one from scratch. Timing seems okay now with the rest of my life and my elbow feels great after a recent cortisone injection. I have even gone ahead and bought two seat heaters that were on sale for $100, regularly $175. Here is a pic.



Now I just need a kit. I also have a new lead on an engine/transmission. 302/AOD.
