@schu the 17th has a forecast moderate risk of rain.  If you all are willing to take that risk, that works for me.  The 10th has a high risk so I don’t think that would be a good bet.  @edsnova What do you think?

My thoughts lean toward September because August can still be very hot but maybe PA is different?

I can do most dates but need lead time because I am overwhelmed at work. My Granddaughters birthday is the 21st of September so that following weekend is most likely out plus it gets close to our October meet. I lean towards the weekend of the 10th…[Read more]

@edsnova So far I got you and @schu.  If schu can do an August date that would be best because we would have three cars.  I hope anyone else out there who is interested pipes in so we can get a run together.  If it turns out to be just you two guys that are interested, we don’t mind doing two runs.  It just sounds like more fun with at least a small group.

I might could do an August run. Actually any of those other dates would probably work for me. But don’t halt the Labor Day cruise if I’m the only no-show.

@edsnova I picked Labor Day weekend forgetting about Lime Rock and relying on the long range weather forecast.  If that date doesn’t work for you or @schu I’m happy to change it.  The two weekends following (Sept 10 and 17) there is a chance of rain (in the 63% to 53% range.)  The weekend of the 24th shows a clear forecast.  Another (I think eve…[Read more]

I might be up but need to check with my wife. Not sure if something is already planned.

Sounds like a nice time.

Dang: Labor Day weekend is the Lime Rock Vintage Grand Prix. Got tickets to that already. Was hoping for some TDr company in CT–or on the ride up?

I just sent @crash55 a pm about this.  Unfortunately, I have to go to Chicago for work on Thursday and Friday and we’ll miss the Grand Prix this year.  It’s a bummer but I’m already looking forward to next year.

@Royal – Sorry it won’t work out for you but we will definitely be at the Air and Auto so we’ll see you there!

Here’s a possible plan to see if we have any takers.

Date – either Saturday, 03 Sept, or Sunday, 04 Sept.  This is labor day weekend which will allow a buffer for travel and the long range forecast for those days shows good temperatures and low chances of rain. The dates are not set in stone, they are just a proposal, so if anyone has a s…[Read more]

It was definitely a golden age, I think.

@stephenhouser – Thanks!  Happy to help out any way I can.

@edsnova – Glad you are enjoying it!

I have yet to pull Bridget’s body off the pan. The repair she needed didn’t require it–it was the pan part just behind the front beam. I bought the part, ground off the old one, made some bracing with angle stock for the other nearby rusty parts, bolted the panel in and drove the car to the muffler place. Then I asked nicely if they could do it…[Read more]

Man, imagine buying one of those 32 original Ferrari 250 GTOs in 1984 for the whopping total of “up to $85,000.”

That was like four new Corvettes then! Crazytown!

Thanks for that, Vicenc

Paul, if you have anything else like this, please, let me know.  I can scan it and put it up.

drill a small hole in the side of the filler neck just under the cap. Make the hole about the diameter of this. Which you buy. JB weld it in. (Or use this stuff, fuel-safe). Wait a day or so for the the epoxy to set up.

Run the tube up a little above the cap’s level, then down in front of the tank, to just above the little hole in the floor pan…[Read more]
