While I'd be happy to take your money Ron , I'm mostly looking for your skilled labor and knowledge, especially that Guy is basically out. It's no worries. I'm shaking down other guys. It's just the reality of the world we're in and why we're doing this budget project in the first place.

As for needed parts from here, we need a lil' more money to finish up the engine as is. I'll kick in another $100 if anyone else does, otherwise that part waits.
I would drop more money down if I had a job. Once I get one I should have some cash to contribute. Hopefully the phone interview I have on friday goes well. Shannon has me working for this interview like a crazy man.

Reminds me, I have a small project for you, just a web banner for our music school.

I have the axle and spindles so I need to take the truck anyway, I can get the motor. But we can probably use nearly all the hands we can get. If you have a marginally intelligent group + Ron, we should be able to get a ton of things done in one day.

I kicked in some money, Carlos kicked in another bundle and my brother is down for entering the project. See OP for available funds.

Ron, if you can give me the Summit Part nos. for whatever you think we need I can have it drop shipped to you or John.

If I'm going to Guy's to pick up whatever goodies he has, I can get whatever of these he can get (Plugs, Wires, Coil,etc.) at the same time for slightly less than Summit probably. Guy?

OTHER
Clutch And Intake if that guy will bite for $100


GUY HAS
?? Maybe I can pick up Friday night

RON HAS
302
Wheels and Tires

I HAVE
Spindles
Axle
Heads and Exhaust Manifolds

Get your engine stand ready. I'll be bringing a hoist. Assuming it's ok with you how about 11 - 5 roughly?

I already have the engine on one of my stands so we don't need one. We'll just load it in the back of the truck on the stand and if we don't end up dropping the engine in Saturday which is highly unlikely I'll leave it there and get it when we do install the engine. Guy gets much better deals so we'll want to get thing through him if we can.

Roger.

NOTE: We'll have a minimum of 3, likely 5 and up to 8 guys this weekend. Since we have work to do on all parts of the car inside and out, (plus me generally documenting) I think we can utilize that many.

Are the wheel studs a different size? If so we'll need lugs for the wheels.
