Booked at the hotel and will be there. I haven’t started my TDr all winter so wish me luck. It’s on the battery tender again so should start with a little nudge or two.

excellent!

So to clarify the bidding.

Update: The Friday run is set.

We’ll set off at 9 am from the hotel parking lot on a no-highways, mostly backroads run to The Louise Arnold Tanger Arboretum where we’ll stroll about the grounds and enjoy the impressive collection or rare and beautiful trees on the grounds of the Lancaster Historical Society (w…[Read more]

Food sounds good. Most likely I won’t be there till Thursday after lunch some time – 1 to 2:00 I am guessing.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

I had planned to arrive Thursday but not quite that early. I suppose a change of plans are in order.

Update to the Carlisle itinerary.

Thursday, May 11, all are welcome to join me on The Bank Run.

Leaving the Courtyard by Marriott in Camp Hill at 9:45, we’ll take a spirited hour-and-15 minute tour over country roads to the First National Bank Museum in Columbia, PA, where Nora (daughter of the original museum conservators) will give us the $10…[Read more]

Have a great trip, Paul. Give my regards to the Ericsons.

Well, you will ne missed, but, you seem to have a good excuse. Have a great trip.

Welcome.

The diff in your car shouldn’t be hard to replace. Scour junkyards for something of similar widths. Most TD kits utilized the Chevette or Pinto/MustangII. Check the mounting pad distance at the spring, although this would be easy to change. The other thing to keep in mind is the bolt circle of the wheels you’re using. Make sure the axles…[Read more]

There’s always more to do, Mike.

While the tank’s out, make sure you inspect the steering column crush cage minutely. These are great safety items but after 50-60 years they tend to crack from metal fatigue—particularly if they’re not perfectly in line with the rag joint and the steering box…which they almost never are.

You never see it. At l…[Read more]

Nice fix. Well done.

Hey folks I just spoke to Greta at the hotel. We are set, hospitality room is as usual, invoking “Speedster Owners Group” should get you in with us.

Thanks all. Bill tells me the normal Hotel (Courtyard Marriott in Camp Hill) does not yet have a Speedster Special deal. Al Merklin of the Speedster group is on it, so registration and (possibly) a reduced rate should be set fairly soon.

I plan to be there

Yes.
