I am with you. I had my car out for 4 days. I still haven’t had a chance to test out the new hp goodies. Now it is back in the garage for a bit.

Except the piles and piles of salt they put down on the roads on Tuesday morning.

I am good with sacrificing a Sunday for those wonderful thunderstorms last night. We need to wash away the winter.

I love that Alfa Gulietta. I drool over it every time I am there

very tempting

One of our guys took a couple cars there today. He says the couple dozen cars he saw were impressive.

Not sure what the entrance fee is. IMHO, there may be a handful of cars worth seeing, but most will be the same stuff you can see for free all summer long.

Maybe the $45 registration fee will weed out the “every day show cars”. For me, I can’t see paying somebody $45 so thy can charge people to view my car. I think if they are charging an entrance fee and parking and concessions, they should pay me to show my car

That Cyclone grabs my attention

[jonmandude]

The hourly rate, at least in our competition, ranges from $90-125/hour

No experience with them. But I have heard there is a plating company on Stewart St.

Looks like Chevy is stepping up and is going to restore all the cars in the hole….

That is awesome.

saw that today. We all know that I am not a Corvette person, but that is so sad. Those poor people who trusted their cars to the museum

[jonmandude]

I will never submit to the false meat…never

[jonmandude]

I would never…….ok maybe

Of the list for me it is the Torino. My first car was a 1970 Torino. I often look at ebay for one, but am not ready to sell what I have.

And Zac, the “experts” on these shows (Mecum and B-J) are usually pretty accurate, but I did hear an “expert” on Mecum today talk about a tear drop hood on a 63 Galaxy. He made two false comments.
First he called it a “cowl induction” which is incorrect because the tear drop does not go into the cowl.
and
second he “informed” that cowl induction hoods work by using the low pressure area of the cowl. That is a common thought but very incorrect. The area of the cowl is actually a high pressure area. The cowl induction works because the engine is in a low pressure area and the cowl is a high pressure area. Air is always drawn from high pressure to low pressure. If the cowl area was, in fact, high pressure the air would not move in to the low pressure engine compartment.
