Have fun with your project. Had a college friend around Daytona that is a MG expert. Last name Watkins. If you run into him during your restoration, ask him to contact me. Have not seen him in 40 years!

Wife and I had a MGA way, way back. Current ride an 06' BMW M roadster.

I appectiate the offer, hopefully I will not need to contact him. The guy who is doing my restoration is a English car/MG expert.

Current ride is a MB C300 so I need the a roadster to get mt heart pumping

Wow...nice job. When I was a kid (college) I had a "B" in BRG like yours but mine was an earlier model...1967. The front grill was different and it had knock off hubs on wire wheels. GAD...did I have fun with that car! As mentioned in other replys the electrical system was iffy and the '67 model had positive ground, something I found out about when I tried to hook up a small two-way radio in the car. YIKES! Wonderful car though and with Pirelli tires on it the car tracked the road like glue.

Don:

The reason I went for a '78 was because the mechanics and elctrical system is more modern. I will lower it to chrome bumper height and I am adding a supercharger to a little more giddy yap.

Currently the interior is out and boot and hood are off. Paint in late spring BRG with a new biscuit interior.

Mel, I notice from your profile that you were involved in cowboy action shooting. I worked with someone from Mahopac (we both retired at the same time) who was a member of SASS and shot at a club somewhere up there. He lived on the east side of the Hudson so his club was probably over there somewhere. He was a serious target shooter and replacing barrels for him was not uncommon. Anyway, where did you shoot?

[MelZ]

I have been playing the CAS game for a dozen years. My home club is in Monroe in Orange County, but I also play at the Dutchess Club and the Matamoros, PA club.

More than likely I know him

I think my friend, Joe Manganelli shoots at the Dutchess club but not totally sure. I don't know what cowbow name he uses. I'll have to email him to ask. He lives in Westchester I believe (Mahopac?) but they didn't have a club there. He used to bring up photos on the web at work of the various clubs and their shooting "towns" around the country. Really amazing.

My cowboy handle is "Calico Kid", most of the folks at Dutchess know me. Are you currently living in TV

[Don H]

I'm waiting for him to reply to my email question about his being a member of the club in Duchess and if so, what his "cowboy" name is. My wife and I live on Long Island but have been looking at The Villages for a while now. We expect to make our first "lifestyle" visit in March.

Mel, My friend says he doesn't remember your name but says that he is not surprised since there were a lot of people there. His name was "Wales Outlaw" I guess alluding to Outlaw Joey Wales from the movie. His real first name is Joe.

[MelZ]

don't believe I've ever met him, name doesn't ring a bell.
