We began our trip Sunday the 19th with high hopes of posting our adventures Daily but then illness struck. By the time we arrived to Fallon Nevada, on Friday the 24th, Paul Erb of our crew (pic) was very ill. Saturday we brought him to Banner Churchill hospital where he was treated for Pneumonia as Wyatt and I worked on the car and filmed,. Paul was released late on Monday the 27th. Unfortunately, we had to take him back in to the hospital today. Filming of our progress on the car continues and we hope to leave Fallon NV at 2PM Thursday for a meetup with SOCAL rambler club members in Las Vegas on Friday, May 1. In Vegas, we will deliver an engine to a SOCAL member and will pick up a 1967 Marlin we will tow to Alvin Isom in OK. When we arrive in Vegas it is likely we will hole up somewhere nearby for a day to perform further work on the car. Challenges have included a decimated front end, an early trans with a late engine without the needed crank adapter, a bad clutch plate, a rats nest of miswired circuits, mice, a broken fuel filler neck,, dried gaskets, bad fuel pump. bad distributor, and a host of niggling little problems. Tomorrow we hope to finish the front end and tune the car. Thurs day we will begin posting a few shorts here. Until we post again, please send some magic, Paul;s way. Thanks!
