Nick, if you need help cleaning it, ring me, or text me. Last time I saw it it was a little dirty. Indoors, though, and thats what really matters.
I was going to ride out with you, but folks are requesting parts, so I'll have to take my truck. Maybe we could meet up on the way down, though. I was thinking of stopping and getting some more fireworks, on the trip...**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser

Last time you saw it, it was more than a little dirty.
I've sinced washed it thoroughly, but the paint still has minor stains in it, so if I can afford it I might have it professionally buffed and waxed prior to leaving. That'll cost less than buying a new buffer (mine is terrible) and doing it myself (I'm not very happy with my own skill level at buffing). It's caught a lot of scratches and a couple chips since you saw it last too... how they got there is ironically unexplainable by the rest of my family.
In regards to riding with me - I don't know what parts you're bringing, but if they'll fit in the trunk of my car then you're welcome to put them there and still ride if you want. If not, then yeah I was going to suggest we meet up and form a small convoy. I usually take Rt. 8 from my house but I can meet you in South Windsor if you want and we can just go straight to 84.
My girlfriend will be joining me and I'm trying to get another friend to come but he's a bit of a flake when it comes to making just about any plans so I'm doubting it. We're going to probably bring a 17" DVD player for the ride down that's hooked into my stereo in case anyone wants to watch a movie.
Bowman:
Nah, the Knight is a pain in the ass to drive for 4-5 hours straight with no exhaust, a/c, or floor... plus it hasn't run since before winter due to some ignition problems, and it's being put away for a much-needed body overhaul. I already have a full new floor pan ready to go into it. Not to mention I got fed up with my first love sitting half-completed in the garage... and I couldn't honestly bring a Chevy to ScottFest again, could I?
John:
Yeah, I couldn't fix the placement of the engine so I just swapped an Econoline front end onto it.Last edited by CheeseSteakJim; 07-13-2011, 10:38 AM.Comment

Nick... I'm not really sure what I need to bring for parts. Need to talk with those interested, first.
We could always meet up in Waterbury, and depending on the time, there are a few good eating establishments in the area.
I will know for sure as the time approaches.**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser

If this is the same Lincoln you showed me a picture of last SF, that's really exciting! Can't wait to see it in person. And knowing the kinda work you do, the Knight is in good hands as well.Originally posted by CheeseSteakJim View Post
