Re: Progress or lack there of

["Stephen Andrachek" <s.andrachek@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

They had one of those cars  just outside of Myakka Park In SW Florida which 
is just outside of Sarasota.  The only other one I have ever seen other than 
this one if my life.  They have all kinds of things there.

They have a horseriding stable there and I rented a horse there.  They had a 
pet deer (a little one at the time) with little horns and tame.  he ate with 
the horses and they all lived happily together, just like in the Fairy 
Tales.

Anyway, they also had a nice sized pond there to take the amphicars in.  I 
didn't see them work, but i saw the mudline on the cars .  Iknew that at 
least one of them worked by the mudline on the sides of the cars.  Both 
seemed to be in good condition.  I didn't give the a real good looking over 
but I was driving very slowley on the red dog road and eyeing up those 
amphicars.

Gary H., who answered your question (at this time last) and the guy who 
knows more about anything is the leader.  Not the only one helping out but I 
want to thank them all anyway.  Anything you want to do with a MOPAR someone 
else has already done what you are going to do and gives them an answer. 
You can take their experience or leave it.  No one is trying to force you to 
do anything.  You can take the advice or not, its up to you.

I'll put in my 2cents worth later (but I like to be a hog) and put in my 10 
cents worth.  Later.  I have some dumb shit to straighten out now.

Welcome aboard to all the new guys (this site ain't even old) and later I'll 
give anyone help that I can if it is the same shit I have already done.

I swear sometimes.  Like a bad penny, I'll be back if I know anything about 
your or any elses' problems.  It takes a lot of time to be so long-winded 
too.

Thanks for the update. "Progress" is always a one step forward. one step 
sideways process. Things always take more time than first plan!

Missouri water? You can think about a conversion to this:

But that conversion would take a lot of work on a 1964 Dodge. Heh heh.  I 
did see a picture of a "start" project for the second one of those built in 
the UK:  http://www.amphicars.com/DSCF4005a.JPG  Wow. And I thought 62-65 
Mopar cowl repairs were a pain!

Seriously, I bet if you contact the police they can tell you if the drag 
strip is open. Hope so, and let us know how it turns out! And fell better 
too.

Thanks,
Gary H.
