They'll also both have gained 12-17 lbs.

That is about what is budgeted.

Do you suppose they've turned around and headed back to Philly for just one more "The Heater"? AKA Heart attack/gas attack disguised as a sandwich.

Not the worst idea I've heard in awhile.

After a nice evening of bs and beer till 4am, the boys had a really late start. We wrenched on the truck today, and hopefully made the thing a little more safe. Fixing gas leaks, a bunch of wiring issues, and overhauling the carburetor. I think the excellent adventure is on its way south, Butch and Sundance should be in our nations capitol by 9:30. Look out secret service.

Ron, thanks again for having us in your home man. Great house, family, shop, dog.... and you ain't too shabby yourself. I can't wait to see that AMX completed.... so killer in person. :thumbsup:

The key words of our stay with Ron are: "stranger danger" :lol:

Early numbers WITH the gas leak ranged from 6.2 to 8.3 mpg. But with some work we are hoping for double figures. Stay tuned. :D

Ron can put down the Coors Lights at a healthy ratio to our IPA's. :cheers:

Ron's talent as a car builder can only be outdone by his hospitality. Thanks Ron it was a great day of "stranger danger":king:

Good stuff Ron! I hope there's more great guys like you along the way.... <sly "knowing" smile>

Yea we need more good Ron and less bad Ron and Weld:action-smiley-027:

Tomorrow we see if we can net a solid 10+ on the gas milage. DG you forgot to mention the dirt and rust soaked air filter element, dirty fuel filter, mucked up vacum advance line. There have been quite a string of mechanics "improving" the truck.

Bars are all closed so I guess it's time to catch some sleep.
