I had a great time today and got paid for it to boot. One of the largest collection of B-25 bombers since the Doolittle Raiders bombed Japan after Peril Harbor was just up the road from the shop. Since we are helping a customer restore a B17 WWII bomber I have a real appreciation for what our country went thru back than. You youngin's look it up.

Some more plus a few vids.. The camera doesn't do them justice. The sound of these planes is unmistakable. And you could fly in one for 30 minutes for $400 bucks.

The seem to be ok, no problems. The wife liked the deeper Blue color. I never realize that there were 3 Ford Blues. I painted some of the engine bay a lighter Ford Blue thats called old Ford Blue. Wife though it was to turquize (sic). This was a deeper darked blue. So for the last week I've been repainting the engine bay again.
Also brought a air brushed Radaitor cover. First show is today.Also for Nick and Cody May 8 Z-Ford in Elkhart is having a all Mustang and Ford show.

I ran a best of 13.49 @ 104, pretty much learning to launch the car all over again with the new rear tires. I'm sure I will improve on that in the future.

My best run was about three or four tenths better already than what I usually ran last year. I think with a warmer track I should be able to grip well and get better 60 foot times. Best 60 foot for the day was a 2.0 but I think I can do better.

Don't feel bad Lance, they don't want me either.
11 years next month, but I was let go today due to salary cuts. Time to start over I guess.
