Watching the weather over the next day or two but might call a "snow date" as Mother Nature seems to be off her meds. Do not think the snow will be gone by this weekend. I do have a heated garage that I can move stuff out of for the day but the lighting is less than ideal and it might get cramped real quick with the amount of people planning on showing up. I will keep you posted but looking more and more like I might need to move this back a Saturday or two. Stay Tuned!

Well I flipped the coin and figure that we are already for launch so lets go for it! Saturday at my house. Heat will be rocking in the garage for those who get cold. If we have to, we can move inside but it is supposed to be mid 40's and no precipitation. The best we can ask for currently. I will be rocking by 10 am maybe a bit earlier. See you here if you can make it. PM me an special requests, beer food or cigars since I understand a few enjoy. Planning steak tips and chicken off the grill, possible ribs if I can square up the smoker between now and then and some home made baked beans. Happy to bring anything to the table so let me know. PM is fine.

Main goals for tomorrow are:

1. Complete replacement of the "wet" side of the brake system other than the Master as it is already new. Have all new Calipers and line ready.

2. Working electric to include lights and wipers. Horn would be third and then other systems as interested.

3. Plenty of other supplies as time allows but this should get me on the road.

I probably can't make it this trip. :( If I do it will just be for a quick visit for moral support. ;)

2 pounds of navy beans soaking for Uncle Bill's special recipe.
3 pounds of mixed hot and sweet sausage for the smoker.
4 pounds of chicken tenders marinating.
2 pounds of steak tips marinating
And one rack of ribs resting in dry rub overnight.

If Y'all leave hungry its your own fault!

Pete, As of now I have two lenses, two trim rings and one bucket. I should have two sets so I think their still on the tub out back so I'll check in the morning before I swing over. The buckets/sockets in nice shape. The lenses have a small hairline crack here and there but I'll bring anyway and you can decide if you want to use them. Don't believe I have the mounting screws though.
Should be there around 10ish as well.

Will work with what we have available with my thanks and gratitude. And I have the screws.
