The agony!

[Fuzzy Bruce]

On Nov. 2 I pulled the trigger on a blem Reo Grand and a RM6 atty. I was expecting a LP with a brass SL door. I stalked the mailman on the expected delivery day. Like a poor child getting unexpected gifts at Christmas, I ripped the box open. Though a blem, this was beauty in my hand and I could find no fault. The agony begins! I had my first Reo but through some confusion, it was not the LP/SL. Now I have a Reo I can not vape. I even have four virgin SX30 batteries begging to be used.

So, what to do? Send my first Reo back for a milling, or maybe exchange the RM6 for a 1 or 2? Nah,,, I decided on Nov. 5 to buy another Reo, this one a LP Grand along with a RM2. More agony! Now I have to wait out the weekend to get my second Reo and then be able to use them both. As I write this tale of agony, I am staring and a beautiful brass doored Grand and an already built RM6 that has been juiced and test fired. Oh the agony!

At least I will be squonking as I build the RM2. Sure hope my three other mech mods and two VW mods get at least a visiting use once in awhile.

You have way more patience than me, I would have broke out the disk sander by now.

Congratulations on the new REO/REOs.

The wait is worth it rest assured

This.

I just finished chopping the top on my new (to me) VVG:

Super easy!!!

Congrats on not one, but two new Reos!!!

Oh man, Bruce. That's a tough turn of fate.

My suggestion would be to start the grieving process with your other mechs. This will give you plenty of time to say goodbye to them, thank them for their service, and clean them well before you either box them for storage or sell them in the classies.

Six years ago, I would have given the Reo a chop job. Then, I had a garage full of tools to maintain my antique motorcycles and other toys. Now, I live in about 500 square feet of motor home with barely enough tools to do routine maintenance on a fairly new motorcycle.

Poor, poor mech mods :-(

My "drawer collection" has been growing in direct proportion to the increase of my Reo collection. I don't know where mech mods go to die, but now at least I know what kills them ;-).

Congrats and welcome to your new home it's not on wheels but it's wall to wall and treetop tall.

Now lets kick the tires and light the fires it's game on.
