Mudbone Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) I am planning on doing a daily video Vlog at the Nationals so all of you who cannot make it this year can join us. They will be posted on this page. I will be relying completely on my phone so editing will be minimal. No promises, I will just do the best I can. I will do a practice video on the 4th before we leave. (Anyone that wants do an interview with their car let me know) Mud Edited July 5, 2017 by Mudbone (see edit history) 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTX5467 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 THANKS for the video on 'Hot or Not"! Answers a question that was in one of the forum threads a few days ago. If 160 is the t/star temp, then 180 MUST be hot! NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudbone Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 One Bid did not like interstate driving. Lost about 1.5 gallons 3 miles from hotel. Apparently I did not fix it. I may try a higher psi cap for the ride home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Great videos Mud, really appreciating it!! and hey, I am getting to watch them on our new 4K HDR big screen (49 in. which is big for us) which was bought as consolation for not making it to the Nationals. Look forward to following and hope to see some fitty fos and tirty eights soon. Oh and the forum gathering too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently I did not fix it. I may try a higher psi cap for the ride home. What helped me keep a relatively consistent heat was installing a 180 degree thermostat in my 264. When I had the 160 degree themostat the heat would steady climb to hot at highway speeds. I'm also of mind that highway speeds air does not flow well through the radiator. Like a buffer zone of dead air is created at speed. Could be out of my head on that. Possible some rusty scale in the water jackets?

Beemon Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 One day of rain has nothing on 50+ years of entropy, believe me! My car isn't a rust bucket by any means and has been stored outside for the last 30+ years. Granted it was covered, but still You guys will be fine. Don't let the weather ruin your Buick fun, the rain is the only time I get to spin rubber in the 56. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "big picture" of a "big car" and all! Probably looked great, too. As a trial run before the slideshow of '54 Buicks is finalized. Thanks for the vlog, Mud! Nice touch!

After about an hour the temp gauge started going above the top of the H so I told Sue I had to turn the heaters on as I didn't want to take any chances. That brought it down to just under the H. When we got home I used my temp gun and it was only reading *185. I took the 7 lb cap to work to test and it won't even hold 4 psi. I will install a real gauge and see what temp it is really reaching and go from there. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudbone Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 It may be awhile before I can post anymore National videos. First my mobile tablet quit that I use for inspections. I had just got the new tablet working then the business desktop computer crashed after a power outage Monday. It may take me awhile to get the new desktop up and running with all the backup files. For what I have spent so far on computers I could have had some chrome work done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dei Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 OH NO! I had the same thing happen with my desktop PC one year ago December and exactly the same way, by a power outage that came back on immediately. According to the "Geek Squad" that was enough to crash and kill the hard drive. Fortunately it was not quite over the 1 year warranty and that hard drive was replaced but... not any of the information and no.... I wasn't smart enough to have made back ups sooo .... I had to start all over from scratch!!! Guess what I do now?! I'm so sorry you are experiencing this Mud. The starting cost to recover the data was quoted at 1,200.00 with no guarantee and more if I wanted to dig deeper. Technology! Mr Gates sure has created a monster.... and we really want a car running on electricity run by computers?? Can't wait! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudbone Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) The best part is that I have not lost any video or photos and I have the business software up and running. So at least I am back in business! The one thing I learned about backups is they only backup data not programs!

kgreen Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Glad you captured Davids car, I was impressed with his work and enthusiasm; he is a very smart young man. I spent time talking to him about his fuel injection system, missed the unique dash set up. If the BCA appreciates younger members, David is a great example. It seems to me that a good number of people collect their vintage cars based on an earlier lifetime exposure. David may not have that but he is surely attracted by the appealing design of the Buick. He has broken the ice for me; I would no longer hesitate to show a partially completed car. While showing his car, people approached him with offers like "hey I have that piece of door trim, it's in great shape. I need $x for it. I hope he was able to collect several missing parts while at this show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
