You bet Josh! :D

Was fighting with the PRNDL switch on Linda's pickup yesterday. Once that's done, I can dump the Alfa off and take the rolling garage up to Gary's.

Looking forward to seeing you! :D

The parts roll in slowly.....

Maybe I'll hear from Ken tomorrow. I need an engine with crank in, adapter, flex plate and starter to move forward at this point. I'll have all that for this weekend. We'll likely use my 198 crank for the 210 build, and work our way through this stage.

Next step is intake and blower to get the schoze ordered. Then we deal with the drive. Once that's figured out, injection. At least one person has been bit by the Mag already. Don't grab it by the top and turn the gear. Not me by the way. I've been nipped by mags before. Not fun. It's capable of nipping you at slow turns with the Rare Earth Magnets that were installed. 5.9 A is no joke!

Beyond that we have a long process of safety gear and tuning. The wheelie bar is included in the chassis build. I need to come up with a lot of stuff though. My budget is still holding, but based on the extras, such as the hand formed body on this car, it's a bit thinner than I'd hoped. My original estimate has needed a reset here and there, but Gary has been a prince. If he has something, he's been providing it at cost. He really has bought into this project!

I've been updating my slixers thread. I don't post on the end of it. No need to bring it to the front. I edit the original post. That's how I roll.

If you have comments, post them here. I'll keep updating the original post over there.

CJ
