Very glad you asked, Sup, since I still plan on invading your abode.
The engine is out, no major problems and will be reassembled soon...standard stuff, bearing, polishing, etc. Denis has aligned himself with the best folks in the 356 world and I am amazed at the information I get. It is a Who's Who.
Axles next.
In the interim, much has been done.
Really. Denis may chime in, but everything is proceeding apace.
The new plan is I get to go see my Daughter at ASU for parents day on the 25th of September. I will then (as with all plans one has to be firm in the planning) get the car in LA and head up the coast to Seattle.
I have two stops on the way for business, one for pleasure (pwd) and then Armageddon with Sup. After that, back east with some stops in MT for stuff. I understand the risk of snow, but a day or two in the hills beats a month in Maryland.
The best thing so far is that Denis and I have from the start recognized that fact that old cars giggle at schedules, so we have (and will again if required) never pressed.
Denis gets it right, which is in my best interest.
A few picks from my drive out with Arden to follow. I enjoyed the fact we saw maybe 200 miles of interstate from OK onward. And one small fact, OK is really beautiful off the track. The Wachita Mountains were awesome. Lastly, I wish I could say she took the picks, but I rode most of the way...ignominious end to my life as a man
