We went out to dinner last night and Sis had some pie. We talked about it a little........
I think she's gonna let it sit for a few days or a week. We are going to go enjoy the Rocky Mountain Sport aviation show this weekend with the Military Vehicle Collectors Club of Colorado.........And then she's gonna call all of us boys out and we are going to NASCAR pit crew the thing and get it knocked out. I'll get a few of my guys, Dad and Sis and we'll make it happen Capn'.
Dad already found camshafts and oil pumps online. Then we need a distributor gear and some gaskets.
We hooked up the water hoses but the front clip is not bolted on yet. Then it's not that tough to get the engine out and flip it upsidown. Minimal dissasembaly. Manifolds, side covers, water pump, front cover, etc.
The silver lining is the stories Sis will be able to tell about the Phoenix rising from the ashes. The stories, good and bad, are all part of this mechanical adventure. It lends for some very interesting conversation with all of our copatriots...... I think the name Faith for the truck is very appropriate at this moment.
Don't worry Sissy. Have Faith. We will get her back on the road again. And not by next summer. Before we go hunting in September.
