    Hey Phil,
    I would put in low ball "Bid". The FE , trans. and Jag rear would be the start of a nice build.
    I know you had the motor built not that long ago. You might get it for cheap!!!

    Hi Stan, Just saw this. No, no replacement. We miss the drives, but that was a little to close even though I was behaving. **** happens when you least expect it and I don't want to press our luck. We had 15-16 good years with the car and met a lot of great folks.

    Phil:

    I can understand what your saying. It only took a number of very close calls (also not of my doing) on my last motorcycle to change my mind about keeping it. It just did not seem worth the risk after riding for 40+ years to keep it.

    We had a saying at work whenever we went to a motorcycle accident "He with the most lug nuts wins", and that did not always hold true (several dogs had fewer broken bones than the rider).

    I would rather be around for the grand kids weddings and births of the great grand kids.

    Hope you and your bride have a good new year.
