Hi Curt!  Yes I did.  The machinist is off on  Friday's so Jeff pressed my 
old bearing off and pressed the NOS bearing  on.  I got lucky and found a real 
nice NOS bearing on e-bay a  couple of weeks ago for $80.00.  Jeff also took it 
apart for me and  re-packed it with good synthetic grease.  They were 
reasonable on labor  ($25.00). I didn't think that was too bad.  They had plenty  of 
parts to choose from as well.  I needed left & right  air doors and a skid 
plate cover for my 62 and they had bins full of  both.  It looks like they are 
finally getting organized with their used  parts selection.  Jeff gave me grief 
for not bringing club members along,  but I explained I didn't send out the 
e-mail until after 6pm the night  before I left.  Sorry about that everyone, but 
it was kind of a last minute  decision to go up. Maybe we can make a trip up 
as a club this Spring?  Jeff  also tried to sell me a 67 sedan.  He descibed 
it as an all original  two-tone with factory air.  I didn't bother looking at 
it because at  that point I was starting to go numb from standing in the 
unheated machine  shop.  Anyway, it was a good trip.  I hope to see you all at  the 
next meeting.  By the way, I'm in the market for a LM convertible  if anyone 
has any leads.

Take care,  Ron
