Tucson Wrenchathon - May 14 & 15

[fulsizjeep]

Many thanks to everyone who helped make this happen, especially Casey for hosting the wildest 20 hours of wrench throwing I have ever been a part of.

I started listing names and my brain vapor locked... ...maybe later it will come to me with some help from Krista. You know who you are and we salute you.

I hope someone took a picture of the food the rstep girls brought in, that was some of the best pulled pork I have had in a long time.

Where is the video of Krista doing Snoopy's happy dance?

[Dr. Marneaus]

Thats so awesome to see everyone come together and make that happen!

[will e]

The pulled pork was some of the best ever!

Flint, where did it end up? Did ya get it started and moving under it's own power???

[Tad]

Thats so awesome to see everyone come together and make that happen!

I try and find words for it. Impressive isn't even close, spectacular doesn't really fit.

+ a handful of folks that just passed through the shop (seriously, how often do you do a body swap and get your Suburu fixed at the same time?).

I know I forgot at least one person, probably more.

Now that's cool that the Subby got fixed same time. I know Flint was not to happy with it.

Now that's cool that the Subby got fixed same time. I know Flint is still not happy with it.

Fixed it for ya.

He may be happy with the repair.. I don't think it is a favorite car...

I guess he needs to put a radio in the Eagle

So glad to be a part of this!! Chris is having "technical difficulties" (with Tad over his shoulder...) but, should be on the board soon. Thanks to all who put up with my endless questions and eternal hovering. You taught me so much, can't wait to journey with you all.

What a weekend....Watching P2 drive out at 4:30 Sunday was great.Just have to figure out what to do with the Gallons of Plum Crazy paint.

[Jeepstress]

We're home! That's an 8.5 hour drive if interstate 40 is clear enough to pull 80 and 90 mph! We are so pooped and happy! We are falling into bed right now. Have to be up at 5 am. Ugh. I'll try to start uploading pix tomorrow at work.

I think we missed mentioning Ron.... He busted hiney with us all day saturday.

This was the most amazing, exhilarating and exhausting weekend ever! And the pulled pork was awesome!!!!

THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!!!!!!!

[will e]

Glad you made it home! I was tired after a 100 or so mile drive back to Phoenix. I can't imagine how exhausted you must have been after 3 days of wrenching and then that long drive.

I am happy to hear that p2 is running under her own power.. What are the thoughts on the tranny???

So what's the next plan? Paint and then grill/interior? Any shots of the Bob body work? It was fun helping but I learned a lot too. Watching the guys who know how to work metal is the best.

[rstep]

Glad you made it home.
Mike the tranny seems to be good.

Next phase is paint/body. We might have to have a day long final assembly WOT when she goes totally back together
