I appreciate the thoughts and prayers from you and Ray for my niece. Baby Khloe has made a heck of a turn around. She actually got out of the hospital today and went home.

She could be one of those miracle babies. Right now the doctors are uncertain about her vision. She may be partially blind but at least she is with us.

Hopefully we will be able to make it to a meet in the future.

Holly here is the teaser pic you were asking for.

Thank Roland, that looks really nice. Now, I wanna hear it.

Glad to hear Khloe is a strong little girl and doing much better.

Oh, I will be attending B3R for the 4th year in a row.

Got a pic?

Greg, mine is a generic tool. See the link below. It takes me too long everytime I try to figure out how to paste a picture on this forum.

Looking at the thing, it will take me longer to figure out how to use it.

Thanks Mike

Yet another reason why an SA tops an FB. No expensive rear disc brakes to repair and no need for goofy
looking, space age tools to work on it.

I'll be doing the B3R thang this year as well. It will be year 3 for me. Oh and did someone say homebrew for B3R

What they got for adjusters on the SA rears Tim, those little star adjusters like they had on the MGB drums?

Those ones you had to push up every few hundred miles with a screwdriver?

Home brew makes B3R much more likely.

Those SA rear drums are so advanced they can be adjusted independently per shoe without
removing the drum or the wheels for that matter. Its all manual and under your control.

So I believe that my NIKKI is going out again...Sucks because I have been wanting to get the turd to the OGTA meets....Anyways, I will have a streetport built by December. However, anyone out there with a carb to sell that will run on my stockport and work on my streetport? I am on a college student budget so nothing too high

Thanks Mike, I may just order that cube thang. It looks alien but it beats striping out your rear calipers just replace pads.

Greg, if you do order one, get two and I'll spilt the freight with you.

How has your AC been working this summer? Mine is still working fine.

It took me forever but I finally found one of these at Autozone for $11 or so. Very easy to use, find the side that best matches the notches in your brake caliper piston and snap a 3/8" ratcheting wrench into the opposite side. It has a lot of different designs for different types of cars, worked on the FC and my girlfriends Accord. The first time I tried getting one of these I couldn't find one at 3 different parts stores so I ended up renting Autozone's kit.

but instead would just appreciate a donation when you get there. Check out the

Great vid,Tim. Inspired me to go sign up.

Man, it sure took that del horto along time to catch up to the other cars. Did they have to slow down to wait for you? Of course you are hauling around those high tech drum brakes, maybe you turned one of those little screws too much.

lol yea they did a good job on it. I knew there was no possible way to match the paint. At least its two shades of black and not yellow and black.

I also went back to the stock GSL-SE wheels.
