[TR] '63 TR4: It lives!

[Kentech HomeTech]

I recognized that fuel pump sound right away. Glad to hear you kept the
throttle steady during break-in, some much temptation to clear it's throat a
few times.

My car is just getting underway again. Cathy just finished all of her cancer
treatments and is almost completely back to normal - and cured! I spent the
spring rebuilding the front-end on her 3A which we autocrossed a couple of
weekends ago - FTD vintage car (out of 2 - so I beat the other guy. Once I
get the annex built on my barn I will start the 4A tub work and continue
through the winter months so maybe this time next year I can seen my headers
glow too. 

Nice job Jim!

Hey Peter,

Good to hear from you again.  Here's a short video my daughter took that
night - it shows the header problem very clearly. I'm such a dork I also
recorded the first session.  The knocking sound you hear is the electric
fuel pump.

I haven't done anything on the traction bars yet, but will w/i the next
couple of months, since the car should be on the road w/i the next 4-6
weeks, maybe sooner.  Yahoo!

How's your car coming?
