Hey Matt.I will try and get out there for the show.I just don't know for sure yet.
Cool. My car will be limping there since the tranny's toast. but she'll be there with less rust than the show at Carlisle. I'm gonna take some shots of it though & post them, if I remember.
Matt,
...she'll be there?.....is Harold II a she?
Just giving you a hard time man! How did you get past your carb troubles after Carlisle? Glad you didn't decide to walk away from it, you were sounding pretty miffed there for a bit. Wish I was up your way this weekend, I would show with you. You and Harley have a great time, post some pics, OK?
Hang in there buddy,
Dave
LOL. I get what ya mean. Yeah the car's a she. I named it after my mom's 71 Pinto sedan aka Harold.
Well, after the car died 130 miles away from home I bought a fuel filter. No go even then. Tore down the recently rebuilt carb to find lots of rust in it. Cleaned it out, but the car still wouldnt run & to make matters worse the bowl flooded do badly it spewed gas all over the distributor. Not good at all. I found a carb rigged on a Ranger for 10 bux & put it on my car. Ran ok, but now the tranny's acting up, so no long trips for her. I'll have pix of it one way or another. right now the digital camera is m i a, but I found my 35mm.
I have gotten some body work & interior work done since Carlisle, so I'll get some shots of that as well.
The car show pretty much sucked. It rained on & off & there were only about 5 cars there. About 4:15 my boss called it off eithout any awards. This was the second show we've done & both were poor turnout. In the hole on both of them. Had a 1989 Mustang there, as well as my Pinto & a Mustang II that showed up late. I got a few pix & I'll get them up. Overall, quite lame. Bad weather & low turnout.
Sorry Matt.I had planed on coming out,but with the rain and some family stuff that came up I just couldn't make it.To bad abought the turnout,it was for a god cause.
better late than never. Pix of the car show.
more. that mustang II looked great even though he arrived as it started raining for the 3rd time.
