Bob, did you ever find a muffler for your 5A?  Details?  i am going to be needing one for mine soon so i am interested in how you made out on your search for one.

I guess we can't hear NCBob!   

That must be one heckuva Muffler!!

In all their years together even Jackie hasn't figured out how to "muffle" Bob.

The nice people at MCI finally found that the MC5A muffler IS different from the 'C' and located one which they would graciously part with for $1000.00. Needless to say I was equally gracious when I thanked them and said, "No Thank you."

We're leaving South Florida this morning for home and I will put the parts numbers I've gathered from Walker Heavy Duty together and order a replacement from Rock Auto. I will need to do some mods in order to get as close to original as possible and use the fishtail exhaust pipe but will document all the installation for the archives.

I did find the Santos Mahogany flooring I was looking for at Lumber Liquidators here in Fort Lauderdale and it is safely packed in the bay.

Does anyone know where I can get a couple of weeks supply of energy to finish all this work?

I bet Cliff would gladly give you some of Patrick and kelsey's energy. I'm sure they have wayyyy too much

Cat,

After careful research and observation, I can tell you that the energy we speak of, disappears the second they realize that
it is for something that they have NO interest in.   

Plus it will be good for Bob to do something on his back, besides sleep....

I can believe that Cliff , both comments.  I wish I had the energy that kids have at the end of their day.  Just that much would be a big help.  Maybe you could just let Patrick help Bob with the work.

Bob,

Are you heading back up to Central Florida?  Or where?

Bob, this would be bad time to come home.  If home is still Franklin.  The weather has been off and on sorry.  Ya'll are getting more slick stuff tomorrow. Got a dose last weekend.
Watch the weather dude! 
You and Jackie have a nice trip back!  Come by and see us'ns!~

BBBBBRRRRRRrrr! Just got home from a 3 day trip to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg and it didn't get about freezing there the whole week end! If I was Bob & Jackie I'd stay at least another month in hot sunny Florida! You lucky full time snow birds! Wish I could pack up and go south for the winter like all ya'll who have! LOL!
  BK 

PS on top of going south to FL, MS, AL etc. all ya'll seem to have forgoten about us'ns up here in the frozen tundra of NW TN! LOL! (since I ain't heard a peep outta none of ya's!

[Ncbob]

Please friends, let me make this very clear:  Home, at the moment, is Bushnell, FL and it will stay that way until around the first of May.  Then home will be Franklin, NC until the first of October.

We're pretty much like hermit crabs in that we carry our home on our back and wherever we stop...that's it!

Bill, we'll be here for the duration of the winter.

Bob
