Nirvana

This morning I was invited to a local Rodders group up in Burlington. These guys meet every Friday for a BS/info session or Rod Run. I thought this might be a time I could ask questions of experienced guys. WOW, NIRVANA. About twenty guys showed up and I think all are retired. Most are within about a ten year age difference (my group). All either have a car, or multiple cars, or working on a car. They welcomed me into the group and I set back and listened for a bit. One of the guys asked me if I was working on a project, so I explained the F1. One other guy in the group is also working on a 48 F1. Within a few short minutes I was asked if I wanted to sell the old engine and transmission out of the F1, one fellow offered the use of a Ford 9" rearend for Mock-up, An offer to use a Chevy 350 block and 700R4 transmission for mock-up. I was amazed at the talent that looked like was available in the group. Toward the end of the gathering they stated and they would like to do a Rod Run to my place some Friday to see what I am doing. A real nice bunch of guys with years of experience and information.
This project just gets better all the time.
