After being in on Anna Maria Island and Ruskin Fla for the winter..which was darn cold this year. I went out to start the 37 115....I was holding my breath since solving the timing problems...after several cranks from sitting..my baby fired right up..YESS Im good to go..now to turn my attention to the brakes..must have a leak in one of the cyclders or perhaps other issues.Minor compared to the mind bending issue of timing..hahah

I have a visitor here from Melbourne Australia, of the Vintage Drivers Club in Melbourne..owner of a 1924 Fiat.
Having a great time..went to Gilmores Museum in Hickory Corners Michigan and the ACD museum over in Auburn.
His name is Constantine Mandylas..He has asked me to join him on his journed in a T from Melbourne to Moscow in 2012
Better get permission from the powers to be like Mama DEE (wife) hahahaha

He helped me today moving a 526 engine for preping it to send to my fellow buddy Theo Deleeuw in NZ whose block is cracked and unrepaiarlbe after having restored a very nice 526 Phaeton...Brother Theo now owes the Yank ..BIG TIME hahah
