i've seen his 'bird on the board for years, and now i'll get to see it in person.
are you going to paint it steve?
do you still paint cars?
i might want to paint my supra in the future.

I would paint it but the neighborhood I'm now would have me thrown out if I sent fumes flyin like that.I will probably just have maaco or schieb do it for now.The maaco in Reno does good work.I will drive it with the 305 till this winter when I build the 350.This 305 was bored .030 stock rebuild with 6*k on it so it'll last for awhile.

yeah that car has some good work done to it and a lot of the little maintenance things taken care of to start.
should last a long while, hope it works out.

Yeah I was surprised you even said Scheib, Steve.
They stink no matter where you go.
Maaco can be good if you go to the right one and pay for the right stuff.

Dang California winter on the peninsula... I was going to go for a ride over the watersed but the rain hampered that.
If it's not a problem, I'd like to tool across the bridge and meet Steve when he arrives. PHATtie, if you read this send me a PM with your address again so I can pull a map. I think I can find it again but my memory is not what it used to be. I have your phone number too so I will call if I do not hear from you.

Great,It stumbles at idle a bit but it's no biggie.I need to adjust the timing for the higher alt.I had it up to 105 down the street from my house and it was still climbing.It's a long flat strech with nobody on it so I figurd I would see what it would do.
