really, there goes that interesting personality thing RIGHT out the window. Guess I'll just have to drink enough to make you seem interesting then.

Note; due to budgetatry restraints, I've had to let my peoples go, and the light at the end of the tunnel has also been shut off.

Garth, Looking forward to hearing from you when you get the Jig. I hope they don't take the $38,000 Seriously, they don't fool around at the border hower this may just be in the hands of a courier and they might not know but it could be gold. . .well it is in a way. . .

Magdaddy, You could have delivered that Jig to Nova Scotia and brought along the beer, garth and I wpould have helped you out of a lot of that cool stuff. . .don't have to be behind a wheel to enjoy a cool one!!!

Looking forward to a tighter steering setup. . .

Cheers. . .

Christian,
Jig arrived Fri .... thanks!

It remains in good condition, considering the years of travel: the pilot hole was well out of round, but a re-ream with a 1/4" drill on the drill press, and all is tight on the 'diameter' line for continued use - good as new .... Lloyd's car will be next.

I had a DE today with my recently pinned tie rods and I can confidently report that the steering was wicked accurate. I can't seem to find the actual data; it was around here somewhere.

I sent it out this am to jcochran1.

New list

ashirji
falcondrvr

I broke one of the two drill bits and would like to replace it. Around here my choice is Lowes and Home Depot. Any suggestions where I can get a good quality bit online and ship it to jcochran1?

I'm in line to get a jig from Garth (Canada), but keep me in the current list in case of delays.

There are 2 jigs going around?
