It's amazing how 25mph feels fo fast in one of those. And yes some bruises and stiffness the next day. The smiles are more like permagrin for a while anyway.

It's ashame that it won't happen this year. I would be open for an alternate type event this year, even if it didn't involve racing. It was just nice to travel to another part of the state to meet with other members and enthusiast.

Does anyone have pics of the tow bar attached to the trucks and the steering wheel being tied off?

Your father and family shall be in the prayers of my family and I. May he no longer feel any suffering.

I am heading to McCoy on Friday for another recovery. If anyone needs anything picked up or looked at let me know.

I masked mine. It was a lot of extra work to do and then I air brushed most of the lines to feather them out. Personally I like the sharp lines so I may redo them all. It really depends on the look you want.

That is very helpful to the understanding of how it works. Now I wonder about the nut that is on the inside of the housing and how that gets affected when we turn up the fuel. It seams like there would be a bit of slop left if we don't remove that cover and tighten that nut? Can anyone eplain...

I'm glad you had a good time and learned a little. You are always welcome at the shop.

Sorry for the delay on my pics. I was without power a good portion of the day yesterday. But who cares, onto the few pics I took, that I can show.

The last truck I picked up, single circuit brakes, did about the same. I was able to determine it was the airpack by the fact it was spitting brake fluid from the slobber tube. That was an easy way to tell because of how the vents were set up at one time. With your truck I'm not sure how to...

Sorry folks, we had a power outage here and I couldn't get on to post that they made it home. It was about 2:30 in the morning but they made it.

Well when I picked the truck up there was no spring there and all we had was a clutch spring and we had to modify that to work. It's a bit stiff, but I think he'll be fine, I hope.

They seem to be moving right along with no problems. Pretty much right on target to make it home around midnight.

I talked to TBM-35 at 2:30 Central time and they were just North of Bloomington, IL. The truck is still running fine, with the exception of an overly strong throttle return spring. Will update on their next fuel stop.

This is a huge statement of character. You are taking responsibility for what has happened. I hope the court goes easy upon you. By court of course I mean the court of jesters we call SS.

Well they are on the way. They will be taking I39 through IL to 74 and then across to KY. We figure if all goes well they will be home by 12:00 tonight. I will keep progress reports coming as I get them.

Well the three guys from KY are on their way home now. I think we had a good time at the shop and I now the ride out and night stay at drgreg's place was fun for all who made it. I did forget my camera at the shop so I can't post any pics as of now. Maybe I should build up excitement for the...

The plan for now is to stop on over Greg. If need be we can always lend a hand to finish her up. And I do not have a lisp.
