[2024 Eastern Meet Attendees And Other Stats As Of Sep 27, 2023]

Hopefully that number will go up one I'm just waiting to get the results from the surgery on the 14. I should know by the end of the month.  I'm not liking this waiting crap. Of course I see the back surgeon before that so hopefully they have better news too.

[Anyone member this? Listening to the sound of it going round and round till you got a station tuned in.]

Nope I don't.  I still have a antenna on my house, it's never worked but it's there. Only reason it there is because I hate heights and haven't taken it down. I don't think it's hurting anything. 

[A few of the First Gens I have owned.]

All look like very nice cars! Is that a 5 year badge on the green one? Is that yours or previous owner?

[Remember this style. When I working at gas ⛽️ station]

Oh yea I used to pump gas out of sommelier pumps,  I remember the pumps had to be changed when gas went over 99.9 cents a gallon 

[Tap water or distilled in the coolant mix?]

I'm sure I won't be around then so maybe report to my grandson hopefully he'll be interested and have my monte.

I did watch it for a while last night and yea the did seem like they were going pretty high. Just a little bit out of my budget 🤣 but there were some very nicely done cars and trucks.

I replaced my original factory 4 row brass copper radiator with another factory replacement in 2020, at age 50. It had a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water. I used a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water this time as an experiment. I’ll let you know how it works out in 46 years. 

I'll hold you yo that CK 😅

[Tap water or distilled in the coolant mix?]

Just plain water with apprx 50 percent mix of antifreeze if I have to add more I add antifreeze it's probably more antifreeze than water but yes just plain tap water.

Yeah it is. I've already seen enough snow for the year. Now, it's muddy paws from the 3 dogs instead, lol.

I hear you about the muddy paws I have to dog sit next month for my daughter but just the one. The new puppy is doing good but not great and it's a few days after my surgery so I think she'd be a little to much for me so they will put up in a doggy hotel. The other dog is easy I don't even have to watch her when she goes out she won't go anywhere,  don't even leave the yard. She's a great dog. 

[Window felts]

The first set I ordered was without chrome,  I think they are for the wide belt molding.  The second set I ordered were perfect can't remember where I got them maybe tamerz. It was probably 11 years ago or so.

[Storage for winter]

I usually start mine and back it out of garage let it high idle for a few minutes to reach operating temperature. I'd take it around the neighborhood if there wasn't so much salt on roads.cry a little and hope for an early spring bring it back in and put tender back on.

[What Transmission Fluid]

I've heard that the f type is basically the same formula as the b&m trick shift just a different color. But it's not compatible with dextron so if your using it, the torque converter has to be completely emptied and cleaned out so be careful. 

[Funny]

When I worked for mobil in 76-77 the station I ran was 59 a gallon self serve more at full service but we checked oil did windshield and back window if needed and like Bob said always talked to the customer.  At my location we sold more dry gas than any other station because we would always suggest it with every purchase. I kinda miss them days but that's a rough business even back then.

[Tire size]

My 15x8 wheels have 5 inch back space with 255-60 tires no problems but I do have my rear end a little higher than most but don't think they would rub even it was an inch or so lower.

[Rebuild in my future]

I'd be willing to bet Aaron will do some touch up to it before it goes back in.
