Hey Simms,

 And I was ahead of you? YOu are driving your gremmie now? I am still so far away from that. I still have to weld in my connectors, replace my melted shifter cable, fix the coolant leak which looks to be a bent over timming cover gasket, finish my grille, get wheels, and register/ insure it. If I am lucky I will have it done in july sometime. Are you planning to go to Cecil? I won't make GAD this year but will be at Cecil with Bill and the Amc Team Grem. We got rained out today no racing.
