Has been a good day today. Picked up Dave Aldershof this morning and headed to West Branch Iowa to get the new suspension kit. I posted a couple of pictures of Dave and his 39 Chevy and 32 Roadster for you to admire.
On arrival at Chassis Engineering we were greated by Jim, The owner who takes the money, and Denny and George who helped me with ordering parts. They had everything boxed and ready to go. Very nice people to deal with.
Before loading up. we went Through the shop to the back building where Roy Lewis, the retired original owner, was working on his 32 foot long duel diesel engine land speed record vehicle. Roy holds the single diesel engine LSR at Bonneville at a hair over 306 MPH. He is the driver of the car and is slightly older than I am. He is in the process of adding a second engine and will try to break the duel engine record this year set by Andy Greene at 317 MPH. Greene has gone 350 in his car but not a record attempt.
The picture of the 1916 Harley is Roy's round tuit job. He give's me insperation.
Brought all the parts home and unloaded them in the Garage and went to get Nancy to show her the Mothers Day present I got for her.
Going to pull the engine and Transmission next.
