[Spridgets] SOS '07, a Little bit of Spridget Heaven part 1

[Wm. Severin Thompson]

Hey y'all,

 

Preparations for "SOS '07 a Little Bit of Spridget Heaven" are well
underway. Once again, SOS will be held at the Dream Farm, in beautiful
Eldorado, WI.

 

The list of projects continues to grow. 

 

Bud Pazur's Bugeye "Mr. White" will be here for a roll bar installation. 

 

Kris Larsen's "StaPuff" racecar will be getting final assembly. 

 

I dug up a Bugeye bonnet project that should be interesting, educational,
and a general pain in the ass. I have a decent bonnet on a racecar where
there fender lips were cut back (a lot) for fiberglass flare installation.
We'll extract that portion of the fender lip from a very rotted and banged
up bonnet I have, and fit them to the good one. "Measure twice. cut once. I
cut it 3 times and it's still too short" kind of deal. So, we'll be doing
some welding.

 

At the pace Larry "Mr. Peepers" Daniels is getting to his project. we have a
few choices. either he continue to put about 10 man hours into it a year for
a hundred years, or we get a hundred guys here that can donate 10 hours of
time. So, with that in mind, there will be lots of help need in Larry's
project.

 

Tomorrow, brother Don and I are retrieving 2 of the 5 cars I bought in
Madison a few weeks ago. 2 Bugeyes, and 3 Spridgets. We may add some of the
worst of them to the "blue wrench" pile. (gas torch for those paying
attention).
