    I have a question. When driving across a desert in a car with no A/C when the temperature is probably 120 in the sun wouldn't most normal people wear shorts? :eek:

    It would be cool just the way it is OR it would make something like an Edsel Ranchero which would take it to the next level. What more can I say?[/QUOTE]

    I finally got around to taking the transmission out, and looking inside the overdrive. It crunched the needle bearings in two of the planet gears, and it broke the ends of a few gear teeth off. No other damage evident. I swapped in a used planet assembly, and put it back together. It works again.

    a guy nearby wants to buy the car, so maybe it will go away in the next few days.

    Just when it's gonna get famous....sneak preview of the next issue of this magazine. (I think there's going to be a ten page story on the trip)

    I'm surprised you still have it, I thought it would be gone by now. We're the tassels factory? Also, that's one hell of a rear view!

    I still think they're very cool cars.

    The eldselero idea is pretty awesome.
