Hey Matt, if you do this while I'm out of town, can I drop off a transmission at your house for Mike?

LOL. Well, I was only thinking about getting the transmission to you as quickly as possible (but realizing that you'd be unlikely to get to it over the holidays anyway). I can run it up, but it's looking more like early next year at this point.

During a manic cleaning session (yes, I was cleaning my garage to avoid actually doing meaning full work on my winter 914 project list. it was *really* cold in my shop, and I did not want to start running more sound proofing until I warmed up some...) Mike was walking around my garage losing things, and I would go and find them a few mintues later. This is noteworthy, as it USUALLY goes the other way around. But, I found his mug of hot cocco, and the corviar carburator that has been lost in plain site since around August. Mike was able to find the intake manifold that he lost, but only because I had not gotten that that side of my shop yet.

Also, I (who knows very little of auto electrical craftsmanship, and what I know I learned from Mike) was able to decipher the starter wiring diagram before before he was!

Yes, I am gloating. Suck it!

The painted silver intake runners look awesome, and the rear and side tins are in - though they may need dome final trimming. We need to get the engine bar cleaned and coated so we can rehang the engine to make the front tins.

Here are the latest pics of the carb mated to the engine. I made a carb mount for it from e plate steel and a hand held dremel ('caus I rock). I need to make a bell crank assembly to transfer the motion of throttle cable pull from the left of the engine to the right. Not an issue as the parts showed up today. I will need Zach to do a small bit of welding, but after I get that set up we should be able to run the engine on the test stand (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It is snowing like mad today. But so cold and windy that it won't stick to anything to windward. No snow of the roof of the bus or truck (and very little on the windward slope of my driveway.)

What I thought was cool was how the wind was swirling into the bed of my truck. Even the bed has been mostly swept free of snow. Where the wind cant reach, though, the snow is all the way to the top of the tail gate. No higher, though, as then the wind gets it and blows it away.

I don't think either of us thought that was going to actually happen. I think that Spring is a realistic goal. But getting it done before the first snow was not going to happen while we were both beating our heads in with work and school.

I will need it to move before summer, though. I am going to need to put the 3/4 ton chevy there that will be donating its engine and 12 volt bits to the 715. I think 3 non-ops in my drive would cause Erin to beat me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

Nice picture Zach.

I think I'll stroll outside in shorts and bare feet in your honor.

IN the past 20 minutes since I took that picture, the wind has died. Everything that was bare has been coated with about 1/2 inch of snow, and building QUICK.

It really is quite amazing. If the wind come back, it will be interesting to see if it all blows away again, or if it sticks.

Ken, you should be in the middle of this here storm. You aren't getting anything?

I did think that it would be done. If it were not for the 1hr commute, the classes and you and Joe needing your cars fixed it would be done. It is damn close now. Once I get the linkage sorted out we can run it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) That will be a good day. Also, if I didnt waste so much time trying to figure out the tin. That was a bad idea that cost me at least a month. I was considering coming over today to work, but I may just stay in my shop and finish the last 2 gear boxes I have to ship.

Mike, stay home. It is not pleasant driving around here right now, and it is butt ass cold. Nothing has yet to be plowed, and it supposed to keep coming down unit about 2AM.

It just started snowing right now. I took the 911 out for a spin earlier today. There's too much crap on the road right now to have fun.

I had the 911 out a couple of nights ago on one of my favorite roads and ran over some "anti-skid material" more commonly known as sand and dirt and did a 4 wheel slide around a turn. Scared the shit out of me.

When I went out to shovel the drive today we had 17 inches (drifts were well over 2 feet.).

By the time I got done shoveling, I looked back up the drive and there was another inch at the top. Just went inside for dinner. Soon I will be posting in the after dark drunk thread.

If you look, the snow is up to the spare tire on the bus. And the drifts are taller then the wheel arches.
