Definitely. It'll be interesting and probably filled with profanity...Going to tackle dropping the engine and transmission, installing a standalone, putting a new engine together outside the car, then installing it along with the transmission and getting a SSK to work right...oh yeah and tons of other stuff...

We'll need some good beer!

Oh yeah, and all in less than 30 days...for someone (or group) who has never done a project like this before...Chris better be ready with the phone...

Thanks. Didn't feel like typing all of that.

Chris, you've done enough! But it would always be appreciated! Thanks to everyone who is willing to come by and help!

Ehall, what would you do? drive up here? It took me about 11 hrs to get to DFW from Pcola.

Mid November I will either be celebrating another year of employment, or un-employed...

Sounds like a great reason to come down to see the beast... and buy you a beer to welcome you home... and wish you a speedy return in the spring...

I would either fly, or I could drive.. (I have driven the Kileen - DFW - Texarcana - Memphis - VA - NOVA and back in a weekend before... 23hrs each way... 6 hr stop up here... but that was in another, much better shape, lifetime...)

Now I usually fly...

not sure. I can probably get a pretty freaking cheap flight to DFW.

Well only one person can stay with me. Anyone else coming from afar would have to get a hotel room and rental (if flying).

^ GOT DIRT?

<<<GOT SLEEP! I'll dig a hole!

The rest of these **** can go back to sleep, in their Momma's Bitch Lockers!




Buncha ****!
Semper Fi! Marine. I may be where you were, when November comes. The market has gotten MUCH BETTER, since Balckwater messed it up!

Suddenly,
Haji shooting vets are in demand! Who'd a thunk it?

How do I spit at a screen?!

ANYWAY, I'm trying to get a 6 month voyage on the Minnow!

I'll let you know via pm....either way, but I hope to work with you as a civilian, or shade tree.

Depends on the State Dept. Clearance.

SF!

Get your *** on over to where I am. The city is teeming with activity right now. The base is pretty calm tho, so you'd have to saddle up and ride out.

If you ever get over here, hop a channel to Kirkuk and say hi!

Semper Fidelis!

Word on the street is that the updated windage tray arrived so the final assembly should be underway shortly (if not already). Then it just needs to be boxed up and shipped to my house!

I'm not out there in the MRAPs, Buffalos, Cougars, etc...but I know people who are. They are great at what they do and keep many soldiers/marines/sailors/airmen alive!
