    Good luck, Jim. You're a good dude, and lots of folks here have your back. You'll be back on the road in no time, I'm sure! :cool:

  5. Big shout out to all who have stepped up to lend Jim a hand. Kinda restores your faith in humanity or at least the HAMB/ Jalopy Journal community.:)

    As usual I'm impressed about how Squirrel gits'r done and as usual about how the HAMB came together to help a fellow member out.

    Glad you got it fixed and as always, the HAMB comes through. I was following, but being in Oklahoma could do nothing to help, so I just watched! I guess a lot of other HAMBers were also, look at the views of your post! Good luck on the rest of your journey!

    I was sure you were headed to the 24 hours of lemons but Minneapolis wasn't on the schedule, so, what's the plan?

    With road trip sagas using hearses, Hudsons, and now wacky Tempest based sports cars, maybe it's time you considered writing a book.

    That "car" does't look very easy to work on, especially getting the wheels/tires off and on; then throw in inclement weather on top of everything. Ya'll wearing silver suits and white helmets while on the road; seems it would add to the "experience"? Since you're so close, you should stop in at "Moriariy's Automotive Museum". He may even buy the "car" from you! I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

  27. Looks like you made it happen, Next time grind some slots in it with a small cutoff wheel then use a small chisel to lift piece up and out, works good no special tools required
