Thimble Drome Champion Engine

Hi Rusty

I just recently found this Cox Thimble Drome Champion car that I had as a kid in a shoe box at my parents house. It actually made it through 4 moves, including 2 cross country u-haul moves. I started researching and eventually found this forum. It took a a little week to become a member after registering, but well worth it. I came across Cranks posts, which was exactly the same restoration that I want to do. As it turns out mine is also an .09 Doodle Bug, so I'll be looking for a .199 engine and a matching ring gear. (The same problem Crank solved through this forum) Thanks for the welcome from both you and Crank.

Welcome to the forum! Yeah, we had a little issue where a setting got changed that required the Admin (me) to approve members instead of allowing members to confirm their accounts themselves by clicking a link automatically sent in an email. The setting likely got changed when I resynchronized the forum (resets post numbers, solves minor glitches in the software...) sometime last month. I didn't notice it for about 2 weeks as I usually don't look over the account lists in the admin panel unless someone needs help with their account. I activated all the accounts that were created during that time. Apologies for the wait!
