To say hello. Life has thrown me a curve ball. I’m back in Buffalo for awhile and separated from my wife. I still have the Arrow and the motor is out and at JanCen for some work. Hope all is well with everyone....I miss you all. Just need some time to regroup now.

Post what you are up to with your motor. Seperation is rough, and being involved hear and elsewhere will help you keep your sanity if your situation is real devistating. Glad you checked in👍

Welcome back Eric,

Buffalo taint so bad......PS our Gasser Racing Series is at Lancaster this summer....So I probably won't get to see you unless you pull the delay box out...

Also, Farley's is always happy to work on your Mopar engines and trans.....LMK if you need his number. I am up in Lockport area, but work in Buffalo.

I am also changing stuff up this year as my GF has decided to be a home body....The Class A 26ft is for sale, and the four wheeler just sold.....Going to change it up a bit.

Back in the early 80's my wife divorced me. I had a 48 Anglia with a 340 4-speed, and a Plymouth arrow under construction in the shop because the Anglia while fun was pretty scary sometimes to drive. To make a long story short she got a little out of hand and took a hammer to the arrow, and I had to hide the Anglia at a buddies to keep it safe. Things always look the worst right before they start to get better, my girlfriend now actually likes to go drag racing, no arguments about money, and time spent in the shop. Just remember happiness only exists for each person in one spot, and that is between your ears. You can talk your self into a good mood just like you can talk yourself into a bad one.

Glad to hear you still have the race car, there is no better therapy than spending the weekend at the track. I've been divorced for 4 years now, I don't go on dates nor do I go to parties and bars where there a lot of women. What I do have is my race car, truck and trailer and a warm garage to work in. I also got an NHRA license last year so I can drive my friend's S/P car. I will never put those things in jeopardy again by allowing a woman to try to take control of me.
