The Lab Rat was in Toronto and was good enough to come for a visit. Randy and his lovely wife Corine (sp?) stopped by after we came back for a cruise. Good to have you down. You are an honorary Canadian Driving Keiths on Draft from the outdoor keg fridge, Not really a race topic. But since Randy and I really only post in the race section... Glad you stopped by

I think I've only seen Randy once or twice since he moved... he use to stop by here maybe a couple of times a month... he was up at my other house deer hunting a couple years back and we went duck hunting a few times

Did Randy ever get his engine in the car.. I know he wanted to dyno it but he was getting the run around on when/if he could get on the dyno... the one guy we knew that worked at the shop where the dyno is, quit and went to work for the county road commission .. so I dont know if he ever did get on the dyno or if the engine is in the car

Thanks Rob! We had a FANTASTIC visit at Rob's place in Bowmanville...after visiting our daughter,and her boyfriend..in downtown Toronto,where he lives. We had a great visit with them as well..as JP showed us around town....BUSY CITY!...LOTS to do and see,that's for sure! Thanks Russ!...now I know where I stand with you! Raff...it's been too long! I will come out for a visit soon!..and of course,bring 6 of my little buddies! Never did get the engine dynoed..and it's still in the cradle..waiting to be installed,along with the trans,which I just got back a week ago from Gerry Tomala. He installed new clutch packs,bands..modified the drum for quicker fluid drainage..replaced the 5.0 lever with a 4.2,heavy duty strut,and billet servo cover. Should be good to go..and able to handle any abuse my 440 can dish out! Like Rob said,my good friend Mike and I will be chippin' away..one system at a time,until completed! I still need to buy fresh trim for the rear of the car..and wheel lip moldings. Cost on those combined..almost $2,400.00!! ....but,can't put old,pitted stuff back on it after body work,and new paint! Hope to see you all at Norwalk shortly! Randy
