Hey guys, can I get a little help on Sunday, Nov. 3rd? Toasty and Pa_Jero are going to take a swing at the Time Sert insert project, as Toasty took my first drill bit and reduced its shank down to where it will fit in a 3/8" drill and re-sharpened it. There are clearance issues in there and only a right angle drill can reach in straight to get the job done. The drill bit as it comes from T.S. is too big for a 3/8" drill, and I'm not in the market for a $200 R.A. drill for a one-time use.

Other potential projects include some clean-up and piecing together of the Type R/TurboRaider that has been languishing at the "nearing completion" stage. I have many, if not most of the necessary parts for that one.

The '86 has a few things that could be done, like the torque converter bolts, some minor wiring relocation and accessory installation (power steering pump would be nice to be able to mount).

I'm about as broke as a joke the day after April Fool's Day, so I can't say I'll be able to throw a party, but I'll do what I can. Maybe just stop by and laugh at my ineptitude and all the cobwebs on my trucks? Just a thought.

John B.
