That shop iz KILLER. Some day I'll tell you the story about the weekend our friend R & R"d the right side head on the Cross Rammed 440 I had in the Batwagon and got Eric up at Muscle Motors in Lansing to do the Machine work on it in just over 24 hourz on ah Friday and Saturday. Met Eric and swapped $ for the head in the fair groundz parkin' lot in Holt on that Saturday afternoon. What do you think of the white formula S our friend picked up from John C. Good talkin' to yeah Zak. I'll back off now, I'm startin' to babble. This iz your thread My Friend. Great Score, Jer

Been on the phone with the family all day. The car is home! They have been sending me pics, and video lol.
Man this kid must of hated this car. Looks like shes been sitting outside getting absolutely no love. A lot of the interior is looking iffy. She runs good, but under the hood looks terrible. Which is a blessing in disguise I think. Atleast he wasnt out beating on her. The plate went out of date the year I sold it.
We had a big casualty on the way home. Jake not knowing the kid removed the sunroof guts... The sunroof flew off the car on the highway. They went back and got it, but it got run over. Som *****! Gotta find a good body guy to fix it..
Anywhase heres a small vid of it. Excuse the horrible iphone camera.
And some pics through the day...

hope we can enjoy a beer together someday jer! Its a shame we didn't get together when I was there. I remember seeing the wagon, and you at shows, but we never talked! lol. Our buddy says hi! He also says hes not coming down there though lmao!
Hes been pretty busy lately at the shop with more free time.
They threw a tarp on her this afternoon. Luckily before the rain started.
Lets make it a car again first! lol. Got some parts hunting coming up!
I would love too! But not happening this year. Not sure when shes coming down yet either. I will be there though!!
Anyone have a good lije on a shipping company? Thinking of posted an auction on Uship. Bur won't be for a while. Gotta recoup some $$ first.

I may have a line on a NYB Formal with sunroof that the owner wants to part out. Keep your mailbox open enough for a PM if I get any news. 75LandYacht and I talked to the fella at Carlisle and I have recieved text messages from him since. The car is in the NE and the owner was bringing it home to part it... should be sometime soon.
Auto Transport Quote Calculator - Direct Express - Auto Shipping Rates - Car Shipping & Car Transport
I have used this calculator as a cost guideline, the shipper I used for the Imperials was...
Coast to Coast Auto Transport |
I was happy with them... but there are others who know more than I here. I used the calculator as a guide, and it was accurate for my job earlier this year... I would consider it a top number to pay, as I am sure you could beat the price with effort/patience. I was more concerned with making Mr C's side of the transaction as simple as I could... they had a depot local to him, which sealed the deal for me.
Zak. Something to keep in mind iz the semi annual pilgrimage of the "Snow Birdz". Heavy traffic goin' south in the fall, same heavy traffic comin' north in the spring and the haulin' ratez reflect that. Obviously your best time will be when their trying to get back down there for another money grabbin' load comin' north in the spring. Ask me how I know this. ('Cuz the fat catz even move their yacht's back 'n forth for the winter and summer) lol, Jer
I'm happy for you Zac!
Don't let her get away again....
