    FYI .... I took some comp time and vacation days the week after Memorial Day to do the engine swap on the Grabber and get it back on the road. If anybody wants to stop by and lend a hand let me know ... So far I have a buddy from work coming by to help me guide the engine/tranny in and out ...

    I'm also driving up the Tim Keck's place on Sunday to pick up a set of buckets seats ... if anybody needs anything from him just tell him to have it ready with the seats ....

    Dan what time are you going to be in Knoxville Sunday? We can have a mini mini meet. I have some yards to mow but I can probably make time for lunch or dinner off I-75/40.

    I'll be in my Expedition ... gonna probably leave my house around 6:00 AM or so and get to Tim's early so I can turn around and get back home ... I think he lives about 30 or 40 miles from Knoxville is my understanding ....

    Dan, I would be glad to help. I go through downtown Cumming once or twice a week, right there by that new court house or city hall or what ever it is, and the dairy queen is right around the corner. How far do you live from there?

    I think Terry is just to lazy. :D ;)

    Mini-meet sounds great....how about a lunch meet somewhere in knoxville. we can
    put faces and voices to the forum. I am just 20 mins from knoxville at the 40/75 split.
