Skip,
Boy, we had a nice post ready to send this morning, I shrunk it down, you know like it was on hold and It floated off into cyber neverland. Anyway I just realized Pate will be on us before you realize it. This time last year I had just dropped my 352 block and a 390 crank off at a machine shop. Reassembly was completed the day before I was to head out on the 185 mile trip to Ft Worth. The next morning I made a test run around the section line, filled Shoestring up and headed out about 10:00 AM. The round trip was pretty uneventful other than frying the coil and multiple gas stops. When I got in Saturday night I averaged my milage out, got 9.3 MPGs. Should have aired the tires up I guess, they must have been really low on pressure. Going to change the Edelbrock 500 CFM carb for a fresh rebuilt shoebox Autolite, see if I can't get 10 MPG at least, that and I'm staying off the interstate until I break out on the West side of Denton.
Just a note about my headliners, at the moment I'm down to one kit. Paul has spoke for that unit. Doubt that I pull anymore, for sure won't with out orders. With just 39 days untill the meet if someone wants to save freight they need to get in touch with me soon!

Putting the tow truck on the road probably won't happen till I build a couple of auxilary tanks for it. Those 5:40 gears have me gun shy of that truck. I've still not driven it as far as I towed it getting it to the house. No telling how old the bias belted tires are, but they are not round. All seriousness aside I've found a good deal on 8 lug wheels I'll tell you about them at Pate.

The countdown is on, April starts next week, looking forward to seeing everyone again. I've got my room booked and spots reserved. I was hoping to drive my 65 again this year, but its got a few nagging issues that I don't think I'll have sorted in time.
SBC is a defunct phone company, not an engine option.
also I have a BBQ/BS session on Friday night at my house. Yes I will be having it this year, I wasn't able to last year and I miss it.
