<VV> Returning Home

[Kent Sullivan]

Smitty,

Much appreciate your concern. The main reason I am having to trailer the car
is that the winter project of fabricating wings for the car and welding them
on was a complete disaster.

In hindsight, it was not a good idea to remove the front and rear suspension
and attaching landing gear before we had the wings working, but you live and
learn...

So at this point, all we can really do is carefully push the car back and
forth; it's a little top heavy on top of the landing gear.

--Kent

P.S. It's April 1 on this computer. <g>

I am very VERY excited about the opportunity to visit the place where my car
was born. In fact, I am hauling my car all the way from Seattle (after first
stopping in Forest Grove, OR for their show, www.forestgroveconcours.org) so
that it can "go home" forty years after it was built.
  Smitty Says:  I am sure sorry to hear about that Kent and it just doesn't
seem right.  Your car does have wheels on it doesn't it?  If not, we have a
couple of folks in the club that surely would give you a set.  Tires aren't
really that expensive and you would be expected to buy your own.  Is the
problem fuel cost?  I would think it would be cheaper to drive it rather
than haul it. Engine got a bunch of rod knocks ?  U joints clacking ?  Floor
got big holes in it.  Just trying to figure out if your Vair is un sound or
un safe or what the reason is that you would bring it in like a piece of
furnature rather than roaring in on its own 6 banger to the place of its
birth.
  Sorry Kent.  The thread on convention tourists was dieing down.   ggggg
