Thank you, Dick for the great pictures……….

Spelling Correction!! It’s now Dave Cooots! Got it!!

 

[Mc409]

Now that we are back to normal and cooled down. Jim & I want to thank everyone for your golf cart rides back, the tow strap, fantastic dinner and all the support. You are the best people to race with. If we can, you may see us in Iowa.

 

[Ishiftem]

Maybe some day you'll get a car and attend....

I just like to watch.

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

I just like to watch.

You're getting pretty good at it.... Do you have the glass display case built for the Homewrecker yet, or will you show us a real racecar at the Iowa Race?

Did you forget what the taillights look like?

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

Haul it down and put her in the show car area, I'll take a look....

 

[Ishiftem]

It’s a good thing these cars have big trunks. I’ll have room for both the race and show car trophies!

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

You might check the frame if you have high humidity in your garage, may have rusted out due to no fresh air and no sunlight....

 

[Ishiftem]

It’s in a state of suspended animation.

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

Gonna have it done so you can come to the State of Iowa?

I hope so! I can’t believe it’s the end of July. Before I had no money for parts. Now I have most everything except time! I did just balance the crank. The block still needs to be honed. And I measured today and the bushings in the small ends of the rods need to be replaced. I’ll find out tomorrow if I can get them in a timely manner.

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

Oh oh...that's sounds like a "it's not gonna happen"

 

[Ishiftem]

Could be. I desperately need to get it going either way this year.

Well then, quit Dickin around and get with it. Some Dude's have something thats ready to go and just set ON THE PORCH...right Polio?

 

[La Hot Rods]

Some people like to treat their car like a fine wine.

I like to treat mine like a molson canadian.
