    Hi Rex, just a short note to offer condolences on the loss of your Linda. I too am traveling the same journey with my Linda and truly know the sorrow you feel. My Linda was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s July 2017 so we are 5 years into it. My sincere prayers are for your well being and understanding of this journey. God Bless you brother and stay well.

    'Dr',

    I'm saving my $ for the near term. I have not forgot about you. I'll be in contact with you in a few weeks with the $ for your interior.
    Thanks for your patience.

    Rex,
    I read where you took your '67 with an L88 motor for a trip around the brickyard with open headers. I am sure you must know Dave. In that photo of the '34 Ford Station Wagon, there is a '55 Chevy Hardtop in the background. Dave took out the Blue Flame 6, Powerglide and rear axle out of that car in 1970 and bought an L88 crate engine from Sun Chevrolet in Miami. With slicks it did monster wheelies. We are looking forward to firing it up after sitting for some 25 years in the shop. He crated all the original parts and the car can be returned to factory original.
    BTW, the Flying Dutchman posted a 10.76 @ 127 mph on that Cecil County
    Dragoway time slip shown on the wall art. I was reading where the late Buddy Hern '67 L88 convertible supposedly held the record at Indy in 1967 with an 11.12 ET, running headers and slicks.

    Hello - Can i still order a couple of the decals you had posted last month ?
    looking for 2 of the smaller Harry Mann tuned round decals.
    Let me know ...PM me at konabear@shaw.ca.
    Also-
    I think you are the guy to talk to with regard to Ridetech level 2
    for a C2 body ??
    correct me if I am wrong - looking to upgrade a tired stock 65 coupe.
    any input would be invaluable !

    Actually i have a spare 4.56 rear. Thanks for the offer though. I would prefer to keep our deal with Nowhereman between the 3 of us. I don't want to creat a sh#tstorm on the forum. I knew he needed a pan and just wanted to make sure he got it, jsut trying to help a fellow forum member. Thanks and have a good evening. Rex

    great, worked out well. still have my 4:56 rear gears if you are interested. I see no chance of ever using it again. What do you think?
