I have been thinking of the next one, I am working down in Perry Fl now with a new company. Missing the Flint trails for sure.
We are in an outage here at the plant that runs thru the end of the month. when it is over I will start planning one, Have to get with Foamy and Finger Pointer for a date but was thinking sometime in May.

Well, hopefully I will have mine rig back together by then. I worked on my wiring more yesterday. I have loomed the body harness inside the cab and under the hood. I only have a few more connections left to make and I hope I can get those done today. I have already figured out what goes where and what wires attach to what. I just have to make the connections (turn signals and side markers on the front). Install fusable link to the main power wire for the harness......Install ground cables (body to frame, block to frame...) And the wiring will be done.

After that I need to install O2 sensors, distributor, fuel lines, power steering pump, serp. belt, radiator hoses, booster bracket, hydroboost unit, and plum power steering and hydroboost.

That should be about it.

It has taken me a LONG time (too long) to get where I am at, but it is getting done. I might try to take some pics and get them loaded up tonight.

The journey will be well worth it when complete. If I get the free time I will try to head up that way, just not sure when that will be.

Rev!!!!!!!!!!! Whats going on man?! Glad you got chipper to N. Florida. Were you able to get that land you were talking about?

I have been slowly plugging away at my rig. It is getting close, it is just a slow go. Right now I am waiting on backordered parts from summit to arrive. Maybe we can get a SOWEGA ride together or somthing after I get mine going again.

How is the new job going?

Still working on the Property, took Chipper for a birthday ride around it yesterday, "Flexed it out a little, well as much as you can running over Gopher turtle holes:D
SOWEGA run sounds great, Will have to be after next month, we have an outage that is going to cover most of the month, (Bronco Money!!)

After next month sometime sounds good, maybe that will be enough time for me to get mine back on the road ;D%) I still have some work to do and I'm waiting on backordered parts. We will have to try to plan something up when I get my rig back going for sure!
