I'll be in Cumberland the weekend of June 5th for an auto-x and rally. I'll stop down the week after if you need a hand with the motor in the SE.

 

cool, do you mean come down to pasadena or norfolk? cause im only going to be pulling apart the car a bit while im in md to get it ready to put the other engine in when i get back to norfolk. but i will have a quick welding project or 2 for you while im up.

 

Pasedena.

I thought you would be dropping the motor in in MD. Guess i was wrong. I'll help you pull it apart at least.

Bring whatever welding project you got.

 

how much time off do you have that week? i may stuff the engine in the back seat of da brick if youll have a few days to help during the week

 

Can't say for sure Monday - Thurs, that depends on work and overtime but I am usually off Fridays. I'll check to see what is going on on June 11th.



Let me know if you want to do the job at my place since I have an engine hoist and all the stuff here.

 

cool. i may just strip down what i can and do all the removing and stuff in va. but ill need some help with the 240. ever replaced wheel wells before? they are rusted about 2/12 inches up the side so i need to get new sheet metal for em and fix it some how, unless youve got a better idea......... and it will time for the new i/c on the 740, mabe slap in the new holset turbo i got for it too

 

FYI - The RX-Midget has landed!



I picked it up from the paint shop last night, and you better wear sunglass when looking at it! It is very yellow, and every bug in the county wants to make love to it



No sneak peaks till it is back together

Hope to have it together for Import/Kit Car Calisle 5/21-23 (old imports).

 

Who did you use for the paint? Was the paint job good? If you dont mind what did they charge you for it and what did they do (paint, prep etc).



I am still looking for someone semi local that isnt super expensive.

 

Rick Davidson's shop, The Wining Finish

Littlestown PA



I'll see the job in the daylight today since I didn't pick it up till about 9pm last night. Under the lights, I could not find any problems with the paint on the car, but a few little things with it on the roll cage (but it is REAL hard to paint all areas with all the tubes I have).



He did all the final body work, a few custom things, and the paint. I did the fitting, shaving and rough work. Here are some pics of what it looked like before dropping it off to him.



I can PM you his # and what I paid.
