Well... the JollyRodder might be goin' Bye-Bye this Friday... someone who's interested in takin' it off my hands will be comin' by ta check it out, drive it etc... i got the 600 Eddy carb back on, still waitin' fer UPS with the lg body HEI to swap in it... in the meantime i picked up a hood and installed it at the request of the future possible owner... the velocity stack wouldn't clear the hood so that's stayin' in my possession. i installed a std chrome air cleaner for the guy...

the Ol'JollyRodder just doesn't look the same to me anymore.

if the deal goes through i'll be full speed ahead completeing the '64 Freeway "FLYER Special"... if it doesn't go through i'll list it on Craigslist or whatever and see what goes there...

so, this is a tenative "Good-Bye" to the JollyRodder ;)



Johnny (i'll be OK) with it goin' to a new home ;)

Yeah the guy who's interested is certainly a "ChevyII" guy so i know it'll be at a good place... i'm hopin' ta get Dave off his lazy a$$ and have him help me with the Flyer... if i can make it, i'd like to be done in time to maybe drive it to Las Vegas ta hook up with Jeff & Tania for a Lil' vacation, then drive it to the annual So-Cal BBQ in September but i'm not going to be rushing anything, heck it's been 7 years now i think since this project was started... no sense in rushing now.

thanks for all the well wishes everyone ;)
