Battery? What battery?

Last weekend, we rolled into Dexter with new used axles. Actually, I poached them off the Brown Car. We have a surplus of good outer CVs, and one whole set of possibly good inners. Yeah, that's LeMons. We got everything hooked up and threw a battery in. Then we hooked up the charger. Then we tried to turn it over. RRRrrrrr. Rrrrrrrr. Yeah, that starter wasn't going anywhere. Popped a new one in and cranked it over, still no luck. The Motronic gods want 250rpm to feed fuel and spark and that battery wasn't going there. Tom swears he has a Yellow Top stuffed somewhere.

For fun, we splurged on $40 Raceland springs and $25 worth of Saturn wheels. From Craigslist. From a guy that lives directly across the street from ABA King Brian. Where was this guy last year???? Whatever. Hopefully the tuneup parts get here today so we can get this puppy on the road.

No more info on theme. We have yet another one. I think we easily qualify as the team with the most good themes that are going unused. I like the one we are running with. The nerd factor is strong with this one, I tell you!
