Well, we got near two feet, somewhere between 50,000-100,000 out of power, most back now. Some will be out until Wednesday, though. I only lost power for 5-6 hours yesterday. My sister is only 1.5 miles away, still out but being powered by my generator, Generac 6500, converted to propane by me.

Getting ready for Friday:
Removed grills, Tenax studs, front turn lights, headlights, fender mirror, Spyder scripts, seats, carpet, shifter, Morse accel cable, gauges, switches. All wires tagged and/or bagged. Removed steering wheel and turn switch.

Installed nutserts/rivnuts for headlights(previously bolt-thru) and rivnuts for license plate. Installed new license light, marked holes that need to be filled from old, damaged, incorrect shape license light(KG copy).

Rest of week: remove gas tank(easy) , then drill lots of little stuff: dash handle, P-scripts, crest, Nurburgring badge. Cut holes and install defrost ducts and front jack points. I'm not going to finish defrost 100%, just cut the holes and fit the duct and upper trim. Hoses to heater plenum come later. Install locating pin for headrest, it rotates about the center and scuffs the rear deck paint.

Last week, I took off some other stuff and took care of a big step. Windshield is off, drilled all rivets for aluminum base strip.

I wanted to get more done, but didn't due to not being able to see in the garage yesterday or operate power tools, generator at my sisters house! Try to be nice, and see what it gets you!

See some of you soon, thanks Alan.
We're a go for dinner with Danny P.

When:
Friday evening 6:30pm

Where:
Dilly's Restaurant
642 Lincoln Way West, Chambersburg, PA 17201
Tel: 717-263-8986.

This is where we have ended at the past two pumpkin Runs, except we'll be indoors ~

RT 81 exit 16 onto Rt 30 west (aka Lincoln Way west) continue through the town square and continue through the next light, the two lane one way road will narrow to one lane, look on your left for Dilly's sign & "Battery One" sign...they share the same parking area....
If you come to the Dodge Dealer on the right you've missed Dilly's.

Send me an email to confirm and... if you are bringing anyone along.
Please let me know by Thursday night. drclockATpa.net

The car will be Subaru pure white, and a nice somewhat muted red, a Nissan color, for the darts. I've got to be different from all you silver Spyder guys. The red will go with the interior red leather, but no way to match it really. Non-metallic, both of them. Just a couple of minor details(pulling the gas tank and attaching the towbar) and it's a go for tomorrow.
Thanks Kel, but I'm not doing the work, Randy is! Thanks everyone else for the "thumbs up".

I did take it apart and will reassemble, but the REAL work is being done by somebody who knows what they're doing.

Here is another pic I got yesterday. This was shot by Alan through the shop window.

The rest of the car will be done soon, either this weekend or two weeks from now. Then back home and PLENTY of time before Carlisle for some shakedowns. I am not doing any mechanical mods this year, just the paint. So it shouldn't be too bad to put back together.

Cory, I agree. Ill be at Carlisle Saturday. Not sure if I am heading up Friday or early Sat morning. Throwing a tent and sleeping bag in the back of the speedster. I guess it all depends on the weather as to when i leave, how long I will stay.

I have to be there, Carey is hand delivering a windshiled to me... Again. This is becoming a tradition (thanks Carey). I may be holding a clinic on the correct way to install a windshield, now that I know.
