  Brant I think I remember that car. Look in for sale section Jared has parts for sale and his number is there too I believe. He'll be at our eastern meet at Carlisle in June.

Ditto on what Willie said. Blue is still sleeping. Green got moved around a couple times. At the rate I’m going Blue will get uncovered until right before I load it up for Carlisle. 

Don't you hate it when life gets in the way of our cars.

[Sad day in Syracuse area]

The one guy was a lieutenant deputy with sheriffs department  he has worked on SWAT and the bomb squad and warrents. Also an EMT for the local ambulance service and a 16 year veteran of the local fire department that serves my area. The other was a police officer for only 2 1/2 years with Syracuse pd. The lieutenant has left behind a wife and 3 young children.  Very sad.

[Sad day in Syracuse area]

2 police officers in our local area were shot and killed last evening.  One was a Syracuse police officer and the other was an Onondaga County deputy sheriff. The names have not been released yet but the suspect was also shot and killed. I have friends and relatives in both departments as far as I know so far it wasn't anyone I do know. Our hearts go out to the families of the two fallen officers.

Thank you for this question! As part of my restoration I am currently sanding mine down to repaint and noticed that it doesn't have a return spring on the unit itself. I was getting ready to order a new one but wanted to check the forum first. You guys just saved me $100. 😅   

Well we do like to save people money sometimes but more than not we like to help spend other people's money too 😅

[Sagging Drivers Door]

Just be careful ordering from opg. Call make sure they have the parts In stock otherwise you could wait a while for them. Not trying to bad mouth them just from experience. 

[Count Down To Carlisle Eastern Meet]

They were drain bamaged, probably form having to climb down into there car's hitting there heads constantly. When I was younger they always told me I had a kinda high IQ they couldn't figure out why I wasn't smarter 🤣 I never did either but I did ok I guess 🤪

I promise that I won’t say a word, Willie 🤣

And no issues here maintaining the “grass” in my backyard.  Money very well spent 😎…

What is that Glen fake grass? What happens when the dog does his business on that? Or does he go somewhere else. I taught my dog toear. go in the neighbors yard 🤣 just kidding she was good, didn't leave our yard unless she was chasing a rabbit.  But as she got older she knew she couldn't catch them so she stopped. She was my buddy I really miss her, I even brought her to a meet at Carlisle one year.

Now you can more accurately line up on those squirrels..... lol

I don't aim for them but don't try to avoid them either lol.

I think the pin should be able to drive it out after grinding the tabs off. They are designed to make up for the hole being oversized.  You may have to drill them out oversized but be careful not to go to big as the bushings won't stay in place properly.  It's not that bad of a job. Did a few back in the day when these cars were all over the place. 

[Grass cutting !!!! Or honey I shrunk the kids]

Yea not sure if I'll be able to do mine before I leave next week for myrtle Beach. Oh well it'll be there when I get back.

That's exactly what me want to do the trip the original cars movie.  

[Count Down To Carlisle Eastern Meet]

Never the full length,  went from Chicago to Las Vegas back in the 60s with my mom driving.  That is on my bucket list though,  at least what's left of it. Was on part of it a few years back on the cross country trip.

[Introduction...]

[Passing of a fellow member]

Awful news thoughts go out to his wife and kids.

[Has Spring finally sprung?? In Mid-West]

I certainly hope so, I've had mine out the last couple days too. They are calling for rain the next few days here though. Have a few things to finish up around here, leaving for myrtle Beach end of next week.

Steve, your car looks fantastic ! 

The blacked out grille along with the cowl hood, really sets that car out in a crowd. 

Also matching the interior for a complete package  !

VERY NICE 👍 

I'll give you a call after we get there and all set up probably sat the 20th or sun the 21. We're scheduled To be there the 20th. Think my daughter gets there Sat earlier in the day than us.

[What did you do to your Monte Carlo today?]

Was finally able to take mine out today, ran good no problems.  Went to an eclipse event but hardly anyone showed up so I came back home. Eclipse is about 1/2 now but mostly covered by clouds.

I agree, get tested. Today is my 10-year anniversary of having my prostate removed. The doctor told me that radiation would have never got rid of the cancer, and I would have been gone in 5 years. 

He said radiation will get rid of it, because it is such a small amount and very low grade. We'll see were going to keep a close eye in it.

[Count Down To Carlisle Eastern Meet]

I want to be 69! That's my age and registration number for the event 😄

[On a serious note. Get tested.]

I am back at home after hopefully my final back procedure for a while seems much better for the moment,  still not 100% but way better than it was. Probably never be 100 % because of arthritis and age. Going to put off radiation treatment until end of summer,  don't want to ruin summer plans. Talked to my Dr he's said get it over with but said it won't hurt if I wait until September. My summer last year was totally crap because of my back and not going to miss another cruising season. But getting back to original topic yes get tested it could save a lot of hassle and your life. We got a lot of life in us and I want to live it.
