    Default Short Bus Shop Day, Frame swap & BBQ

    Ok, it's getting to be time to swap the decent parts over to the new frame. Goal number 1 is swap the engine, add the new gear box, move the brake parts and maybe add some wiring.

    Goal 2 is gauges, steering, windscreen, t-pieces.

    Aiming for the weekend of May 10th, 11th. Since we will be working in my back alley and don't have much room, this is more of a help Crazyfish day than a shop day. I will feed you ribs, burgers, chicken etc.

    The weather is going to be the deciding factor. After we get the running parts up and going, I need to paint the remaining body parts quickly. I need to keep this down time to a minimum.

    I could use an engine hoist, smart people and of course tools. I'm going to start on Friday, stripping the front end. We have a spare bedroom if someone wants to crash here. Beverages will also be supplied.

    You only have to be smarter than I - which means you are all invited. You only have to have more tools than I - which means you need two wrenches and one broken screwdriver. You do however, have to come hungry and thirsty.

    Default Short Bus Day

    Hmmm, Mothers' Day Weekend - Sunday could get me in trouble! So, I'm in for Saturday, figure I'll get there pretty early when the coffee is hot! I'll confirm with you closer the date...

    Sean, how close are you to King of Prussia mall? My wife has been wanting to go there, so maybe I can drop her off for a few hours and come help out, even if it's just an extra set of hands for lifting etc... Plus, that BBQ sounds really good....
