Family stuff ate up the first half of the year and will continue through August. I feel like Charlie Brown with that rain cloud over my head that follows him around.



I went in the garage Friday to look for a leak in my fuel line, been chasing it for months. So I decided to pull it completely apart an check everything again. What I found was a Swagelok fitting that we checked a few times was the problem. When I disassembled it the ferrel could spin around as free as if it were a bearing. I cut the pipe back and checked the tubing. It was out of round from the cutter. I always try to be gentle and cut in a lot of little adjustments to the cutter but I must have gone too fast and distorted it. After cutting it off I turn on the compressor to blow it out. It fires right up and I blow it out. I assemble the fuel line plug the ends with the test fittings try to blow it up no air! it's a 7.5 hp 80 gal compressor. I check everything Can't find anything. My Nephew is a plant electrician he comes by for a visit we check it out The safety kill switch wasn't making complete contact which burnt the Motor starter and the disconnect switch. Starter switch in in route and I'll go get a disconnect tomorrow. Like I said like Charlie Brown.

Hey Wayne,

Let me know when you get situated, would love to come by and check out the ride...

[Motown 454]

Mike your welcome anytime, I'm home day and night most of the time. Being a senior now lol I hope you don't mind a mess!~

[wfo guy]

Wayne, you've been a very good supporter on this forum. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know. You should know that I'm old, senile and half blind.

[Motown 454]

Thanks you. Maybe between us both we'll only seem like one of the three instead of all of them. Blind and deaf is getting hard to fake What's that saying " If I knew I would live this long I'd have taken better care of myself!"

[Tincup]

It's been a while
I sent the car out to do some wiring on it.

Here are some pictures of it on the road, well above the road really.
I hoped the first time out the tires would be on the ground!


Up Up and away!





And delivered safely!

Now to finish the wiring in the garage, insulate, and maybe sheet rock.

[wfo guy]

On the road means many things.
