Herb.. Boone Blankenship here in West Virginia, the hillbilly state.  hows
everything?? I finally went and got myself an e-mail address, jus so I could register on this forum.  ya'llve had it now!  Ive been workin on my car everyday, things are goin very well.  my pan is finished, working on my engine now.  trying hard to be able to drive it to bugapaluza next year.  hope youens  (wv word)  dont mind a red neck from wv on your forum...   actually, I'm not a redneck...   I'm an Appalachian American.
I'm sure I'll have some interesting questions through out this project.  
 By the way, I placed a bid on that Hippie Vacation on e-bay, He might bring me to bugapaluza next spring.

thanks very much,  about the same story here in southern WV..  ( near Princeton)  no need to toe-in your front wheels either. theres not a straight enough road to worry about tracking.   you  probably dont remember me, but I did attend your Tech Session at BP7.  We had a wonderful time there, enjoyed every minute of it. spent the whole weekend there, met alot of nice people, made alot of new friends,  gathered alot of parts and good information. You all know how to make a person feel at home, no matter how far they had to drive.  first time I ever had that much hospitality from a bunch of strangers.   so anyway... strangers no longer.. I'll be back next year.
