Bill: I can't say it often enough, but it looks great. You are sure giving your knees a workout. Wish I could be there for the maiden voyage. UticaGeoff
YOU are getting the first ride with the tunnel ram, trans brake ant 4:88 gears... really tho, Ill be happy with a 14 second ride! About ready to pull yours outa storage? I heard youre down to about 20" of now left on the ground. That old Erie Canal is looking better every day! We'll be putting the Bad Lad and H-D on a barge for a tow, LOL... To see it in person, it aint perfect, but its starting to take shape and will be ready for some cruising this summer. I owe Pat a ride across the lake on the BADGER ferry and then another trip up to Escanaba and Fayette state park by boat. Probably start on that one around April 15; may need to start a new thred. Theres like 5000 views on this but everyone is afraid to speak up. Still feeling "teste" LOL Bill in TR
Bill: Yeah - 20" on the ground is about right. We've had a couple 40 degree days, so it has come down. I washed/spray waxed my Sierra and Corolla in the driveway today - probably have 20 lbs of sand on the driveway now. I hope to have the Buick out of storage by Apr 25 to attend a local event with the Albany Buick Club (they are coming to Utica). This thread is getting long. May if you start a new one, call it "The home stretch", 'cause it looks like you are coming down it for sure. UticaGeoff
HERE THEY COME SPINNIN' OUTA THE TURN... Yeah... I know I can be long winded, but I just like to share... The 2 links below are to the Hatteras owners forum. Look at the bottom right corner for the "hottest threads" and the top 3 are mine; http://www.samsmarine.com/forums/ 1 The Big Chill ! 1,237 2 I Cant Take The Strain 1,179 3 Winding up for THE BIG FREEZE 552 The Big Chill ended up with almost 8000 posts. http://www.samsmarine.com/forums/showthread.php?10604-The-Big-Chill-!

... And the Bad Lads' knees are rubbing the inside rail. Hold on folks, here comes Utica Geoff from a close second... Theyre bumper to bumper; its, its, a photo finish. HOLD ON TO YOUR TICKETS! Getting winded approaching the finish line! Got the rear fuzzies put on. The pass side went well but the drivers side had an alignment issue with the replacement quarter panel. Finally after a day I figured that out and a 1/8" off with the cut off grinder managed to get in secured. It weren't easy! After those go on, the window lowering stops get re-adjusted and then the panel stuff goes together. I really do think the woodgrain looks more stately and "Buickish". The guy at the local CARQUEST has started calling me by name. I find that a huge compliment! I don't pay his light bill, but Im in there pretty often and he doesn't mind ordering small stuff for me. Got my new foam seals from T/A and they fit like a champ. A simple paint job on the air cleaner wasn't enough, so that all came apart for a cleaning (even the 15 little screws got the wire wheel and silver paint!), all put back together and called it a day. Tomorrow is a Model T day, so I am helping Manitowoc Jeff rebush his front axle. Its pretty simple and all on the bench! Bill in TR
So for Larry... is this the right way to go? No instructions included (gotta findem' online!) but I borrowed this from a pal. Now we hafta find some advance kits etc. Went for a spin and she's still sneezing through the carb.... Bill in TR If anyone else has some instructions for this and can share them that would be great!!!
Reset button - resets the light to zero Tach/Adv - Toggles between the tach setting and the advance settings. Flash - On/Off for the strobe Dec - Decrease the setting Inc - Increases the setting I hope you know how to attach the light:grin:
Uh, duh, doesn't the bulb screw in to da left? How do I clip the wires on the HEI without getting the wires in the fan?:shock: Maybe I should shut it off? I was gonna leave it run all summer since its got a bad starter. How do I change the oil with it running? My wife took the keys and wont let me drive it unless I cut the grass first ou:ou: Geez... life is tuff :ball: Bill in TR
Snap On (GOD bless America!!) was kind enough to send me a PDF of this unit which was discontinued in 1998. If it came from Chow Chung Penal colony in shangshow province, FAT CHANCE... Bill in TR
