Thanks, Special K (y) especially re 2nd gear. The car is getting new fluids, belts and tires right now ... and A/C recharge; I'm in FL after all. Hope the recharge is all that's needed to make it work. And I have read up on mid-engine handling characteristics. I'll be careful, in the beginning. Don't wanna spin off into a ditch! o_O

Hook up with 68rcodeman (David Garton) he’s in Ocala. He has a nice stable and is super knowledgeable.

Hoping David will let me come see his GTs and hot rods one day (y) Spring Hill is about 1 hr 45 min from me.

My sister makes custom clocks, and so yours truly her big brother was surprised* with one today (y) I don't think this is making the time waiting for mine to arrive pass any faster (no puntended ;) ) ... possibly making it worse! o_O .. but it's cool!

* she emailed me a mockup first but the pic she had wasn't too good so I redesigned and this is the one I came up with

Jeff, anytime your welcome to come by. I will be in your neck of the woods for the Gator Nationals next month.

Thanks David! Let me receive my GT, and then a trip to see yours will be a logical meeting of two GT guys (y) Also, it's looking very likely I'll be at Mecum on 8/29. Maybe see you there (y)
