Being a slow evening, I thought I would make up a list of projects that will be done next weekend.
I just read thru all the threads and it's shaping up to be a busy weekend.
-- Steve's truck "Frank", first start and other unknown items.
-- Sweet's timing/carb tune ups. VITU ( Very Important Truck Upgrade) Looks like he will be real busy.
-- Leo's master cylinder replacement.
-- Hambone's bed installation.
-- The donated GMC 230 for first start and maybe scrap tear down.
-- Leo's pin stripping tool, for demo and put to use.
-- 485windo's front end alignment and some other bugs YTBD.
-- Carl doing hood alignments for whoever needs one.
-- Me, with the 51 first start, that may just stay on the trailer, or not even bring it, due to all the other activities.
-- Confirmed, at least one motor change out. Who and what has not been released yet.
-- Mig welding demo??
-- Snapon tool truck, to drool over tools??
If I missed anything, or got something wrong, let me know and I'll adjust the list.

Any facts on that?
Tools have been lined up, but no confirmation.

A change in Team Midwest
It has been taken over by the LDT.(Long Distance Team).
Members are:
Tim, (Australia), President!
Leo, (Canada) Sergeant at Arms!
and myself, Don (midwest USA) The grunt that takes orders.
If there are any other worthy, "want to be members" who would like to join this elite group.
Be at the Homecoming and the panel will review your qualifications.
Now the downside of this change.
LDT will not have an entry in the "first start contest".
That is an oversight of the grunt that was commanded to secure a first start vehicle.
This Grunt, will be disciplined in front of the entire Homecoming attendees, saturday evening, to show what happens when they fail a mission.
May his soul rest in peace.
