Austin Champ Pickup

I saw some pics of the M35A3. It's not that ugly. I kind of like the grill, clean and sleek. The headlight buckets are weird though.

Well, Mike just left here with his Champ in tow. Godspeed to Mike on the trip home. He took a couple of pics while here and I took these getting ready for his arrival.

I was wondering how you kept from folding the fender flares in! Thats a pretty good idea, I'll have to keep that in mind.

With a wrecker you almost always benefit in some way by having a box of 4x4 cribbing. If you can find it, 4x4s used for crating machines is usually some tough stuff. Gonna have a friend look out for some more for me.

About the trailer, paint doesnt make it work any better. Just look closely at my rusty paint on my avatar. Now I feel better!

Kenny...

So far, the Champ is towing just fine on my trailer. I did get hit with some cross winds around Orlando which made me reduce my speed to 55mph.

Any updates? You home yet Mike?

I know Mike was at John Winslow's Saturday morning...he called me from there for a phone #.

Mike made it home OK. I talked to him this morning. He stopped by my house on Saturday to drop of a few rims and then headed north.
