Project- Bills Buggy

Just stopping in to keep the buggy thread alive.. Starting to get chilly here at night, just a reminder that the season is rapidly drawing to a close... Financial issues and other 'real life' problems may force the buggy engine swap onto the back burner for a while (tho we will see.. I havent ruled anything out completely yet) I do plan to take the motor down to my good friends shop, to break it down, take a look inside.. make sure everything looks good, do the whole re-gasket thing.. If it needs any machine work, it will get sent out (finances depending)...

In the meantime, Mr B. (bob) and i have been joking around with each other for years now, about taking our a-bodies to the track for a friendly little grudge race.. his 68 Barracuda vs my Dart... This friday the 27th is the date.. lol.. However it has grown into an event.. LOL lots of our other gear head buddies are going to be doing friendly grudge races of their own.. families are tagging along.. it ought to be a fun night.. We all enjoy cruising together, going to shows, I think it will be a blast to have a night to pound on the cars in a safe and controlled environment (relatively LOL) .. So anyone local that wants to stop down at Pittsburgh Raceway Park this Friday and watch (or participate) in the fun, the more the merrier.. LOL

So... I have decided also to scrap the bucket seat plan.. The quarter stick is going in this week, and I am keeping the bench.. The bucket seat idea was originally for my wife so she would be more comfortable driving the buggy... To date, she has still never driven it.. and she probably wont.. lol.. she is content to ride and cruise from the passenger side.. Plus she likes the bench... So.. its gonna be 'lean slightly forward, and monkey grip the shifter' for me.. but one of my buddies told me once, 'thats hot rodding' LOL .. So there will be something new happening to the buggy this week..

Wish me luck gang..
