Damon ,I've got a tailshaft housing and can cut down a case ,and switch it all out for Chuckles..I just used my last case this week on my Mustang....Plus the paint job is on me if we can get the paint donated

Damon,
I've got some chrome wheelie bars. Not sure on the center to center dimensions, but I can measure them. They are about 60" from axle housing center to wheelie bar wheel center. How soon do you need them, I could bring them to the tech seminar this winter, or I can ship them. Let me know.

Nev's, Thats a good idea. Bringing parts to the T Seminar to save shipping for everyone.

ive got a fan for you guys

I have been out of town for 9 days with this EMC thing,, then the Jegs SuperQuick 32 race with Kristina Lawyer, Saturday & Sunday at Indy,, then a day at Rose Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute making plans for the Winter Tech Seminar. I am sorry I have not been on the internet during any of that time.

What the Band of Brothers is doing for Chuck is a good thing, and I'm proud of you all. I have new set of Jon Thee header flanges for the TFS Street heads that I'll donate to the cause, and likely there will be more when I think of something.

Best wishes Chuck

Uncle Charlie

Much appreciated Charlie. Randy (KY) called me last night and said that a set of headers do come with the car for a CJ type head. We may still have to make a set, it all depends on where we put the engine.

Steve,
