My budget doesn't allow a trip to the Nats this time.    Bummer...


Good thing, because I'd be tempted to take the '60 4-door and show up 
your EUM and you know I can do it.   ;)


>The EUM isn't pretty yet---


It's Miss America compared to the '60 4-door...

Same as with the '60 although with a stroke of luck I MIGHT get it 
done before Fall...  gots some MIG welding to do on the lowers in 
order to exploit those NOS early 4-door rocker panels I picked up at 
the last Nats.    Also have replacement front and rear valence pans 
(is that the correct nomenclature?) to go on it, to replace the 
dinged and dented originals that were already battered when I got the 
car over 20 years ago.

Heh...  my '60 has ALWAYS done this, only time it ever failed to get 
back home was when its 192,000 mile 80hp engine ate a valve seat, 
cracked a piston and stuck it in the cylinder thus requiring a tow 
for the last two blocks back to the driveway.

Since its repair, the '60 has been business as usual just like 
before.    Runs  better than ever with an extra 30 hp.  (I cheated 
and swapped a low miles 110 into it)

...mine always started, even after having been wounded.    ;)

Wish I could make Buffalo.
