MidAmerica02FestIX next weekend!!!

[BoBlack]

Thanks for the kind words about the event. Lots of good help from a bunch of folks.

The weather looks good - high around 80. 20% chance of rain Saturday.

We're fired-up, thanks to all who have helped gather up new and old True Friends of Alex von Falkenhausen.

In the words of Commando Cody (Lost Planet Airmen) "I ain't never had too much fun".

Humberto has a family emergency, and I ran into some problems today during alignment process. Passenger side control arm doesn't look right they said which explains difficulty in turning right. Radiator also developed a small leak. I will work on these early tomorrow, swapping parts from the other car but that means I have to drive to the other car's location which is about 45 minutes in each direction. I may not be able to make it. Wish had the car back from the shop a week earlier. Will keep the folks posted. There is always V@V although I really want to go to Ark. to see old friends.

I will try my best Steve. I installed the Euros and H4s already, with a little led for the parking light, kind of weak but works. Now, I have to find an excuse for work tomorrow so I can work on the rust bucket. All Duke faculty are busy writing Omaba recovery grants due April 27th, I have submitted one already and helping other colleagues, timing couldn't be worse, nerve wrecking times. I need this trip soooo bad.

I'm pretty new to the community, but I'm really excited to meet everyone at what will be my first 02Fest. I've learned a valuable lesson though in the preparation...

Don't bite off too many big projects at the last minute, and always plan some time for the occasional screw up! 5 speed is in, LSD is in, rear disks are in, but I have spent more hours hassling with the radio and strut bar than I can count! To add insult to injury, I knocked over some tools I had sitting on the ledge under the front of the hood and put a hole in my new Curt Ingraham radiator! Argh!

Looking forward to putting some faces with the names, and hoping to get some inspiration for the next project. Would love to see a megasquirt setup in person.

Safe travels everyone!

yea, live and learn!

[Lebowski]

Hey Al, hope you didn't think I was offering you time planning advice... just stating the lesson I learned the hard way! Good luck in finishing your project and I look forward to meeting you.

[bluedevils]

You weren't offending, I knew this would happen and Mike Pugh already warned me about that. Just didn't have enough time. Hope I make it.

Right after I got the car ready and re-aligned, I hit a car on the back, not much damage but very annoying. She was turning and hit the brakes. Baam! Chevy Cobalt sustained more damage. Insurance called, at least the police didn't give me a ticket. Car runs good, just few dents at the center grill area but won't be pretty for the Mid Fest, shit. I also don't have time to install the passenger and rear seats, I will be the lone worrier in this trip, just me my self and I in a single Recaro. Still debating.
