I have been trying to do some planning on the dick & robert texas road trip show and I'm thinking the 2nd or 3rd week of Jan. I would love to try it before Christmas but I know it won't work. This will give everyone a chance to sell Dick a car so I have ballast on the way back. How does those times sound.

I Know !!!! I can't believe I am being like this! Maybe I'll have it done by Christmas....

:eek::eek::eek: Oh well, can't do anything with the stroker if the car isn't done.
SOooo..you're tellin' us Ronnie is the hold up!
brian you can make a road trip to charlotte and bring me a check and have one done and if you want just change out engine if you would like ???????????????????????????????????
Come on now Brian.......... I think there's a lot to be done before you need the engine...... don't be blaming Ronnie !!!!
Dave
Dave
I think Brian has a point. Ronnie takes forever to build a motor.
Anything that good is worth waiting for..........
Come on Ronnie, are you going to take that ??????
Dave

I wasn't blaming Ronnie for taking long at all. The machine shop is the hold up. I was stating that the engine won't do me any good to be done if the car is not done. Now if the car gets done before the engine, then I will be blaming Ronnie!!!
One would think that one would recieve a little leeway , especially when labor charges are 15 cents per hour. I'm too old to speed things up. Guess I must drop fee to 5 cents per hour . I want everyone to be happy.
Your labor rate IS hard to beat.
Ronnie...... you've got it all wrong ........
your original rate of $.15 per hour is fine if you're happy with that........ but when anyone starts complaining it should go to $.30 per hour...... not $.05
no1::takethat
and with every complaint your rate should at least double.

Brian's 49 road trip to Texas schedule
I am trying to get a schedule together for the Texas road trip. I have a court hearing Jan 8th and should be over Monday. I would like to leave towards the end of that week or the end of the next week without other problems and hoping to be at your area Friday night or first thing Sat morning. I hope to be able to go down to Virginia to pick up your truck earlier in the week and be loaded ready to go.(That's if I don't need a lowboy to take an excavator down to drag it out of the pasture)
That should leave time in Texas to pick up Dick's purchase and see the Texas facilities. Sound like a plan
