This 6000 mile Model A tour has been in the works for at least a year. Made all kinds of preparations, made reservations, even put a fresh engine into the little black coupe. Well, deja vu, remember back in 2006 when we made a last minute engine change before the Boston trip? The engine gremlin has struck again. Last weekend we went on a shakedown tour to the Sonora Model A Roundup. When we got home, this is what I found when I lifted the hood.
We sat and thought about it for a day, and then decided maybe, just maybe, there was time take the other fresh engine back out of Pat’s roadster pickup and put it in the coupe. 
Two days, start to finish. And we have one day to spare and work out any bugs. Hey, we may not finish this trip, but we sure as hell are going to start it. Departing Walmart on Monterrey Road at 7:30 on Sat, June 2. Luck, be a lady tonight. D

How far did you make it with that bag of chocolate we dropped off last night? I say end of the driveway. :-)
