Find me at SoWo, I will be handing out 40's full of scene points. Which may or may not actually be brass monkey.

I'm holding you to that

Haha, honestly other than the clogged fuel filter and dead pre pump, and the CV boot that blew up, I had no mechanical issues with ODB on my move from TN to here. Hopefully I have enough time to make sure he's completely mechanically solid before the drive.

Emailed a good wheel company that might have barrels in stock, so hopefully those happen soon. Did the math and 5.5" barrels front and back will result in 11s/12s, with 5"/6" outer lips, so I'm doing that.

Can't wait to see ODB again. Pm me your number and maybe we can meet up in Texas.

No. The motor swap isn't going to happen. I don't have the means to do it so close to SoWo. If anything, I'll either redo the current head, get a new one, or more than likely just leave it as is.

Got yah. What about the oil pan, thought it was cracked? taking a few cases of oil with you for the road?

Yeah. Gonna check the repair job I did to make sure it's good. Gonna bring a ton of spares and tools with us.

Brought some of my things from my apartment in Fresno down to my parents place in SoCal this weekend. Decided while I was here that I would unbox everything I'd recently ordered to inventory everything. Figured out that I didn't need to order a set of lower control arms, I had a pair already in ODB's trunk. Oops. Went ahead and ordered upper control arms tonight.

So not much really happened this weekend. Trying to get over a really nasty headache. However I did manage to throw a new battery into ODB and get it moved from its spot on the street into my parents' garage. SoWo prep will hopefully start in earnest this week.

[theseeker411]

Got the catalytic converter replaced this morning and immediately took ODB over to the emissions shop, where he finally managed to pass. So now I get to register him and make him a legal resident of the state of California.

Dammmmmn you're driving from Cali!

Yeah man, actually 2 SoCal e24s will be driving out. Dylan is bringing his euro car out with me. This will either be really good or a really big disaster. We'll see.

Still don't have the wheels back from the machine shop, and they still ned to be polished and resized, so who knows if I'll actually get everything done in time.

Well Dylan is a pretty amazing photographer, so I'm sure he'll have plenty of photos once we're rolling. If we get to rolling.

Like I said, the biggest hold up at this point is the wheels. Not sure if they'll be done in time.

Just get a GoPro and time lapse the whole drive. Should be fun. Hoping to see ODB back in Helen again this year!
