Große Fortschritte (much success

Hello....
Its been a few weeks since my last post, but there has been progress.
as you know my good friend Mike as well as me Dad have been helping me with work on the T, well a week ago on Friday we added a Noob to our ranks.. my friend Boyce.
Anyway last Friday (Feb 6Th) I had this grand idea of getting the guy's together, pulling the engine on the T, having some good food and tunes, and just having an overall good Friday night. Well everything i hoped for happened except for the tunes and the bit about pulling the engine (although we did make progress)
Now we come to this weeks events
I got the guys together in much the same fashion as the previous week
Boyce after track practice, and Mike after soccer training. So there we were... about 5:30 at night in southern California (which as anybody that lives there knows has been under water the last couple weeks) in an uninsulated box with open doors and no heat. We had a great time, i actually got the music playing and a good time was had by all.. we decided to stop for the night because it was about 9:30 pm and we didn't have hoist chains.
Now on to today
Boyce went home around 10:00 but mike stayed the night and this morning we went to work getting the last of what we needed together (we also found the chain we needed)
but a little before we were to start mike got a call from home and had to leave. My dad and i continue working and after dealing with some ridiculous design flaws in the body position to had the fire wall, steering column and the engine off the car.
I am so happy... now i just need to scrounge the money to get the engine rebuilt and i can send it on its way :D
and as usual i have pictures
