You’re killing me.....I had planned to drive there, attend the class and meet everyone, then stop at a couple of the regular posters on here during the trip home......BUT.....I have a construction project going on at my house that has to be weather tight by winter. With all the rain this year I’m a month and a half behind schedule and I’ve got my plow truck half apart.....a necessity in the winter here.....Soooo....everybody have a great time!!!.......you’re a very fortunate group!!!.......safe travels to all!!........Mark

We are going to miss you by a few hours. We're getting in around 11:40 AM. Looking forward to the class.

I hope you guys that get to go will make some kind of thread with lots of pics, and not just of transmissions but of Fordnut lunches and comraderie etc., etc... Some group pictures for sure! Like Mark, I have a busy Fall but would sure like to tag along online!

I’m in! I’ll be landing at 4:45 and looking for a ride out to the hotel if anyone else is available. Looking forward to some good times.

Do you think a rebuilt '39 trans could be considered carry on luggage? Without the stick, it should fit in the overhead bin. LOL!

Tim .... That probably wouldn't fly (pardon the pun), but it would most definitely go as checked baggage. I know that I surely wouldn't want to be sitting below that overhead bin during a particularly hard landing.
