Kris and I drove up to San Jose this last weekend to pickup parts from the estate of one of our customers that had recently past away. It's very disconcerting, as we have been spending most of our time of late buying, sorting and then selling off our customer's estates. This is not lost on me as we are all getting older, so please stay healthy! Fix and enjoy your cars now, you just can't put it off any longer!
Diesel fuel prices are now beyond crazy here in California and my Ram truck averages 11 MPG. We made a weekend of it stopping in Santa Nella for lunch at Pea Soup Andersen's, a short layover and then back on Sunday morning to find a fair amount of erosion to repair from the storm that happened while we were away. I used to make this type of a trip in a turnaround, but that is now too much time behind the wheel to be comfortable.
Not too many images this time, but Kris manage to take a few of us doing the final loading. Lots of heads, a 1970 WT block, some aluminum rods, new pistons, a tripower set up, intakes, transmission cores, pulleys and brackets, air cleaners and a couple of boxes marked 1965 GTO. As usual, I have no idea as to what I purchased until we get a chance to go though it all.
