Well, it turns out I can't go.
My mom is leaving Sunday morning for a flight, so she is having us eat Easter dinner Saturday.
Family first.
Have fun.

Nuts. I'd love to be there, since I missed the last couple, but I seem to have caught the stomach bug my daughter had earlier in the week. Just in time for Easter, yay!

Kill be there in the msm. Due to my immensely manly arms, I stripped a float bowl bolt on the FBs carb and now have to either replace the damn body or give heli coil a shot. Any of you guys do heli coil repairs?

See, that's why YOU shouldn't play with carbs and let a rotary carb specialist do it.

I've fixed a mounting hole on an aluminum intake with a helicoil on my Cutlass. Working great so far.

Sucks I couldn't make it, sounds like you guys had a lot of fun.
On the plus side I got an amazing dinner.
Twins, I've never seen you before in South Lake, I live in Trophy Club.
Once and a while i see a stock red 3rd gen running around driven by an middle aged guy, but that's it for.

I met a guy at cars and coffee yesterday morning who just moved here from Florida. He has two FD's, and I gave him info on where and when to go. Did he make it out? If so, I hope y'all were nice to him. :-)
