Major Setback

The crew has been amazing this week; at least one person has been here every night.  On Tuesday night, we had seven guys in the shop, on Thursday; five. 

    
Ron and Wayne work on body panel adjustments.  Kindergarten drawing class sure paying off...


With seven guys in the shop, someone is bound to be hungry.  LB mans the grill and lets the guys get some work done. 


On Thursday night, LB and Jonny go through their preps before trying to fire up the engine. 


Yer Dad and Wayne watch as Jonny puts distilled water in the engine. 


Filling up the engine, part two


Yer Dad installing the pipes with a little help from the rubber mallet. 


Wayne checking the fuel levels.


What the...!!!! Water seeping out of the intake....Mission aborted. 
Depending on what the crew has to go through to fix the engine, it could be challenging to make it to the Speedbowl opener next weekend.  They do not have time to pull the engine out and start over.  Stay tuned for updates...
