OK, here’s what I plan to do at the shop tomorrow. I plan to finish removing that cover for the transmission tunnel and continue the removal of Nadine's engine. That is what I plan to do. Of course what I actually accomplish might be totally different. We'll see. I would like to have the car as stripped-down as I'm going to strip it down soon so we can make a final decision on paint and body work. I guess I need to “pull the trigger” on those adapters for the wheels soon. In fact, John, let’s shoost the guy the e-mail, shall we? I'm ready to get them. I think with bitchin’ wheels on there, I might just get motivated to knock this baby out. Now for the “bad” news. I was reading my notes from the initial meeting with Nadine, the actual lady and not the car, and there is something in there about a “rear end leak.” I'm not sure if this means I ought to go ahead and look into swapping in a Datsun axle or not. It is going to be a bitch to do that swap what with the design of the chassis and body and stuff. That was why we went ahead and made the decision to stick with the Triumph axle. Now, I'm not sure if that was the right decision. We'll take a look at it again, I guess. OK, I've been thinking about it some more and I think we will either fix or ignore the rear end leak. A B-110 axle, being the narrowest, might be a tad weak for a KA-24 in a TR-3, in my opinion. Besides, we took all of our measurements for the spacers based on using the Triumph axle. OK, I'm convinced. Moving on. Hmm, I seem to be out of stuff to say today. Yeah, I'm totally out of conversation. I guess that’s all y'all are getting today.
