Hi Tiffany!

Do yourself a favor and leave the mirrors alone until after you get it running and driving.

You’ll need new tires, new brake hoses (the soft ones going to the drums), a flush-out of brake fluid, and probably some engine work before it’s purring.

Congratulations on your new acquisition. It’s always a good thing to know the history of the car.

The little things that are bugging you should be available through either mgmagic or moss motors.

Good luck with learning to drive stick. It’s a skill well worth having.

I’m in guys – still need to get my window sticker

Just received Showfield credentials in today’s mail. Looks like we are just inside the entrance gate. Make an immediate right and there we are, on the right.

Car looks great Rob.

I’ll see if I can get our tech guy involved.

I’d bet yes if I were a betting man, but since I am not a betting man I’d take a tape measure and find out.

That’s a good tip. I’ll try that this year.

Roy’s memory is definitely a blessing. He was generous, mischievous and just the right kind of silly—but you’d never want to have to fight him.

He was a real builder: helped put together two of Jack Breza’s cars and adapted the hubs on his MiGi to fit real wire wheels by himself.

We’ll miss you, Bill and Audrey (Crash); look forward to seeing Shu!

Sorry to hear Crash

I plan on being there this year as it’s been awhile for me. Looking forward to it.

I’d try Rock Auto and look for the rear shocks for a 1977 Chevette.
