Reapereviltwin's Dr. Jack

[reapereviltwin]

I aquired this rig in Albuquerque, NM in oct 2009. It orginally belonged to Dr. John "Jack" Lodell. After his death in 1999, it was "lost" thru different owners until it came up on CL. Thru the EF threads I was able to aquire it. Dr. Lodell was instrumental in the workings of the EF.

Well After getting into the motor, we spoke to mike and with everything like it is he feels we are better off replacing the motor. I will be picking up the motor that Justin has and installing it in the Dr jack

The cost of a replacement is cheaper then getting the heads reworked and magnafluxed and all that jazz

[TxPlates]

But you can you really put a price on nostalgia?

[KF5ZXT]

Lol
