[Spridgets] NOSHIT II Snohomish, 7/18

[Edward Perez]

Words cannot express my appreciation to all the guys that showed up to help me get my engine installed and fired up.  I so appreciate them taking the time to share their knowledge and skill when it comes to helping out a fellow Spridget enthusiast.  I would also like to thank the wives of these guys for allowing it to happen.   I know it is a sacrifice on their part also to give up a great weekend day for us to accomplish what we were able to today.  My wife is currently at the Casino after spending a long, hard, day with the kids!

I'm pretty tired now, so please forgive me if I missed anyone.  I'll post some pics tomorrow.  

As for the work accomplished:

We were able to build my 1275 from a short block to a complete engine.  Mated it to the transmission, installed them into the car, and fired it up.  The Lion's share of the work has been completed.  I only have a few small tasks to complete until it's ready for it's maiden voyage.  Keep in mind that I have never been able to drive this car, so I'm pretty excited to be at this stage in the restoration.  It's all thanks to a fantastic group of guys who are passionate enough about these great little cars to help a fellow enthusiast out.

Paul A, we missed you and hope all is well.....
