Mike, Craig's the man with the plan. Swapping motors is a great idea. Dan and I have done that many times to do just what Craig said. Plus you can break in the TA's HO the right way...on a cruise to Dayton and back. Get going on the swapperoo and don't forget the Yuengling!

Brew, I'm not so sure you should go before Bob and Dave. I saw how you drove (and drive) your Formy (he,he)!

One on the mini none on the Delco

You guys know I kinda drive Ike an old man because I am an old man. I sure would hate for it to break 400 miles from home ;(

[Brewster]

Its okay Craig, I wouldnt want to hurt that car 400 miles away from home. Thats why I'd drive it around your place IF I ever drive your car it would be like driving a number one show car out of respect for its history. Cheers my friend, B

Craig, It sounds like you should be building a play motor too, and hanging the numbers one on an engine stand.

Any pics of the spring rings Craig? What's the part numbers? Mine is suppose to be the spring rings. Looks great.

Awesome car, I have seen it many times and will likely be needing to see it many more to help finish mine

[Bentwheelbob]

Craig - I agree that after 40 years your car deserves a thread. Thanks for sharing.

How did you come to buy Lucy so long ago, and what do you know about the prior owner(s)?

[bird72]

A run down for the ignorant on car would be nice. How many miles? Repaint? History? Sordid stories, c'mon.....

[RamAir]

Maybe a reunion at the Nats with the original owners?

[FunctionalShaker]

Craig, you have me beat by 4 years. Where did you find the grooved rotors, or did you have flat ones machined/turned?

[RamAir]

You could dip the whole car before

You have a beautiful car Craig. It could not belong to a better owner. Love the picture with the old American daisy's. I have a late model set of the 200s's I like to throw on every once in a while too.

More old pictures!

Congrats! I'm right behind you. In December I will have owned my '71 for 40 years. Never thought I'd have it this long, but after a while they become a member of the family.

Seems like yesterday that you posted on here that you owned it for thirty years!

[1970TA]

Chris posted on thirty year anniversary .

[Norwood]

I actually bought it in September of 75
