Anyone going to the get-together from Wisconsin? I bought a 75# overdrive transmission in south central Wisconsin that needs picked up. If possible, bring to the reunion and then I need to ask 2ton to 'store' it for me.
Specifically, Brodhead WI 53520

Our Northern Bolter's, You have been asked for a small favor from the ODSS President.
If you can get it to me in KC, I'll take the torch and run it up to the Homecoming in Maryland next spring.

CJDublu (Justin) is picking up the torch and handing it off to a friend of his that will be at the reunion.
I'll take over and get it to mid Missouri.
Then either ship it to Cosmo or take it to him next spring at the Homecoming.
Bolters helping Bolters, at it's best!

When we get closer to the event, I'll need info on how to hook up for the passing of the torch.
We will do that with PM's.

The Torch is in Justin's Hands.
He will hand if off to Pat, a friend of his to carry the Torch to KC.
Pat will then hand the Torch over to me in KC, to be put on display during the Reunion.
I then have the honor of taking the Torch to mid Missouri.
Then it will either be shipped, or better yet, another Bolter takes it east, toward it's final destination.
Bolter's helping Bolter's, that's what it is all about.

First of all 'THANKS' doesn't begin to be enough. I've had several conversations with Bob and I've never had such a pleasant buying experience from a truly nice guy.
Don,
Please do put 'The Torch' on display. These 3sp+od's are becoming rarer so it's beneficial to at least see one up close.
Thanks fellas,

I have a T5 for sale so I know you didn't buy it from me. Let me know who you bought it from only if I am not invading your privacy. Thanks

I thought you lived out there. I wish I could have stopped by to see your adapter plate. Next time , I guess. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,585 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,585 | Just called Pat who will be running the Torch to KC.
He will hand off to me at the Alderson's BBQ and private museum Thursday evening.
It will then be put on display at the Reunion, for all to gasp at.
Cosmo, I retitled your header. Peggy would like that.
Pictures to follow when we get time.
Thanks
Don
