No problem deciding what to do. Stay here and finish the car, then store

at my place for 3 years. I'll keep the spider webs out of the exhaust and

rust off the brake disks. Heh, heh.

Hey guys,

Though I'd take a minute to uppdate you all on how the project is going.
For those that don't know about it, I've got an '80 MY that I bought
slightly wrecked
and as I closed in on getting it near done I found an '83 Euro 5spd also
wrecked
and decided to make the '80 into an'83 Euro,big project to say the least.
Anyway the body sits as a skeleton in the garage and now it's just a
matter
of bolting everything into it. I've taken a week of vacation starting

and expect to have the interior installed,and full drive train and
suspension
back on the car by weeks end. All that will be left then is painting the

and during tune-up, timing belt,and fluids.
I hope to have it fully running and driving by the end of May and painted
by
mid July.....except....
My wife Tina who is in the US Coast Guard has applied for a transfer to
Honolulu,Hawaii. While this is terriffic and cool,the job comes open

and throws a big wrench in the 928 plans.
We still don't know if she's gotten the transfer,but if it does come she
thinks
they will want her there 1st week of June.
So now I am fighting with what to do about the shark,I figure I've got 2
options
one is to stay here for a couple months,finish the shark except for paint
I'll
have access to hobbyshop on base there with paint booth)
The second is to pack the car up and put it in storage for 3years till

get
back to the mainland. I'm leaning toward storage because I'd hate to be

from my wife and daughter even for a couple months and I've been hearing
horror stories about what the salt air does to car bodies there,I guess

worse than even S Florida which I know is bad.
I welcome anyones thoughts on what to do with the shark,and I'll

keep you all informed as to what happens with the transfer.

Thanks for the bandwidth

Well Adam, you are right it is really geeky, but what the heck we
are
all geeks anyway, computers, cars etc....

I have to agree with Lloyd, Adams nickname should the "The Organizer"
it just fits.

For Mark taking a cue from his email address I think "Chef Mark"
would
work, hey isn't chef a South Park character??

For Phil Wilson, ?? he is going to have to help us out, Any hints,
Phil, people we can contact to get the real story??????

Another thought for Curt would be "BitWiz" from his license plates of
course.

And for myself I have been called the "midlman" for a long time,
probably because I always end up in the middle of everything going
on>>>> but Im willing to accept whatever you guys decide, Mongoose
isn't too bad, a little more flattering than midlman.

How about Ray "Forensics" Henson, Im just grabbing at straws now,
better stop now,

Later,

Tom

Okay, this could be really geeky, but I think it could be a lot of

fun.

I want to put nicknames on the backs of the Shark Drags T-shirts.

Below is

what I have come up with so far. I need help on a couple of names,

my own

included. The people with *'s are "maybe's" that haven't yet

committed to

race, but haven't told me to go jump in a lake either, or whom I

haven't

heard a response from but showed an interest at the dyno day.

If anyone is not happy with their nickname, wants to change their

nickname,

or have no nickname on your shirt, let me know. I don't mean to

offend

anyone, there are no hidden connotations, I'm just trying inject

some

humor. Okay, here it goes:

Louie "The Professor" Ott - Self explanatory, right?
Terry "The Enforcer" Redinger - Terry's a big guy, I'm glad he's

my
friend

Tom "Mongoose" Middleton - Tom is a true enthusiast, and has the

racing

spirit
Rob "Dolby" Fossett - Rob is a car audio god
Curt "Beta" Nichols - works with computers, plus Beta is a fighting

fish

Chris "Spitfire" Ford - its a British thing
Lloyd "The Prophet" Johnson - Lloyd has an introspective demeanor

and a

long ponytail, kind of reminds me of a modern day prophet.

Adam " " Birnbaum - help me guys, don't rip on me

too

badly!
Phil " " Wilson - Phil is new to the group, so

be kind.

* Andy "Thrasher" Pope - Name just fits. His Car in for repairs,

may
not be

ready
* Nick "Goose" Daffern - Nick's a commercial pilot, doesn't know

his

schedule for June yet
* Mark " " Rosenfield - Mark's in the restaurant biz, no

response

yet
* Ray " " Henson - Ray does crime scene testing and
investigation, he hasn't committed yet, but I'm supposed to talk

with him

tomorrow.

I think you can get a feel where I'm going with this. Let me know

if this

is a good or a bad idea.
