Well, it has been a year since I completed the the restore on my Jeep.
Still needs a few things here and there but minor stuff.
Other than that she's been reliable, and pulling about 32 mpg on the highway, although I am still tweaking.
But I digress.
So, I thought what is my next project?
Restore my 92 f150 NITE?
Nope
How about this?
A turbine powered RC model of the AVRO ARROW, scratch built.
Started on the design study yesterday.
Several of my friends think I am quite mad
I think it could be fun, should I wish to undertake the challenge
Regards,
NITE

I thought you were suppose to drive that awesome Jeep down to Colorado on a road trip?

I havent seen you yet....what's the deal man?

Yes, you are right, Scorp
But the Docs wont let me leave till all my treatments are done and my kidneys are back up to snuff
The trip is still a go, to see my friends in Montana and meet you and BULL.
Tentatively scheduled next April or May
Regards,
NITE

If you can make it for the 3rd weekend in April, I can get it you into Starfest and you can see how we get some of these celebrity interviews.

I'll do my damnest, Scorp.
But a little more on my project.
Of course people that have followed the Avro Arrow fall in two categories.
Everything was destroyed, or there is one that got away.
I am in the middle.
I don't believe one got away, other than in pieces( as the the fact that 206's nose, outer wings, and
landing gear are in Ottawa)
But bits and pieces keep cropping up, so now I present some pictures of the power plant.
This may be NSFW as my ugly mug is in one of them.

And finally Serial tag markings.
