Kermit is ready to come home -- Need Help

Larry,

Glad to hear you are on the road again. Hope your biggest problem is giving Judy some equity.

OKAY!

Larry, sounds like a great trip (despite the electrical problems). I hope our weather here in NC clears up for you, It's wet and cloudy around Charlotte. The Blue Ridge Parkway and Deal's Gap can be a little tough if the fog is thick and they say it's been kind of foggy in the mountains. It may keep some of the bike trafic down though. Enjoy yourself and check out the Cherhola (sp?) Parkway too while you're there.

Good advice Tom! Larry, the first rains or fog/drizzle can cause the oil drips of the summer to rise atop a thin layer of moisture, making road surfaces slicker that cat caca...exercise due caution!

So Larry,
It's 1 week later. When are you gonna take us thru the trip debriefing??? You did make it back, didn't you??? :rolleyes:

Gruen:

Yes, we made it back, and in fine form. Arrived back in town at about 7:00 last night. All was well. I downloaded my pictures, and spent some time resizing them so that I could post.

I'll post the story tonight, with pix. In brief, we had NO other problems, Kermit ran like a dream. Whatta machine. Sorry that I missed all this fun for all of these years. But I'm not missing it anymore!!!! :D:D:D

It's a procedure they do all the time and it really does free up a lot of crap off the valves and pistons.

Tom:

I couldn't find the BG - 44K in the towns we drove through in TN, but I bought some Lucas Oil Upper Cylinder Lubricant. I thought it really worked great!!! The car doesn't backfire anymore, and idles much more smoothly. Didn't get a read on the change, if any, in MPG, but those changes were worth it.

Also looked for the BG stuff in Chicago today at Murrays Discount Auto Parts. None there, either, so I bought a few more bottles of the Lucas stuff to put in from time to time.

Tom:

I just wanted to say publically what I had said to you over the phone. I can't tell you how much I appreciated your contact, your help, your advice, your work as my "angel in disguise" during the trip. Not only did you save me considerable money and distress, but wifely stress also.

If there is any way that I can return the favor in the future . . . . . . .

P.S. K&K Automotive called today. They are charging me $58 plus shipping to rebuild my alternator. Sure as hell better than the $450 the "shops" wanted for a rebuilt alternator. :eek:

I know Larry sold Kermit. Is the current owner out their in discussion board land?

The new owner was a guy from Detroit, who bought it for his son. I think Curt knows who he is, or has met him. I have not seen it reappear for sale since, nor have i seen a new member pipe up with this car. So perhaps not, Peter.
I liked this car a lot, and Larry is a good guy. Hopefully we will hear back from him soon, with a new project.
