I was at the Henry Ford Museum a few weeks ago, here are a couple of pictures I got...…....STEVE M

1st picture of my wife and I with the 56 back in 2016, 2nd picture is at the 2019 Auburn Indiana Grand National, 3rd picture of the truck in front of it's garage. We are also Very Very Happy that we made it in next years AACA Calendar...:) STEVE & TERRI MAVEAL

Ted, When I put my truck up on stands the Rear stands go under the Rear End Housing and the front I use wood Blocks to go under the straight axle were it bolts to the leaf springs...….The truck sits just like it does on the ground only the tires are off the ground about an inch..... I can go thru the gears and hit the brakes and turn the front wheels during the winter months in the garage, instead of just parking it......It's Been working good for me all these years...... STEVE M

Northern Michigan winters arrive usually by November and stays till the end of March, for winter I put my truck on stands in October then I can run it at least once a month thru the gears to keep the oils flowing, I have an exhaust hose I run out the garage door, it's kept in a climate control Log garage, I run a programable dehumidifier that controls the humidity until the temps get to 45 degrees for a high, that's what my furnace thermostat is set at 45 degrees unless I'm doing things in the garage then I turn the heat up, I use NON ETHONAL fuel and I keep a battery tender on the battery all year long.....So far so Good...:) Steve M

Thanks Jack, Hopefully these parts can find a New home....:)

Thanks for identifying these, they did come out of a Pontiac Cadillac dealership...

Can someone tell me what Vehicle these parts are for? I believe one is a crank hole cover and the stainless bezels I'm not sure of, the bezel measures 7x 2 3/4 the crank cover 8 x 2 1/4 NO PART NUMBERS I've been going thru and inventorying my NOS parts I need to sell since I retired ...Thanks for any help ….STEVE M

I look at it this way.....It took me 10 years to restore my truck, ( DONE in 2102) in that ten years I had to take 2- 401K loans to finish the truck, lots of hours finding parts, working on it in my garage and at the body shop, It's not a Rare Vehicle but it's my vehicle that I spent lots of hours on to get it to the level it is, I want to get the next 10 years with my restoration BACK enjoying showing the vehicle and keeping it to (THE END RESULTOF BEING FINISHED) and by doing that I will be trailering the 56 truck to AACA and VCCA shows for others to appreciate to see the 10 years I put into the restoration..... Showing my truck Since 2105, when I see others that trailer there vehicles to National AND Grand National events I know what it takes and appreciate what they go thru to keep there restorations to the Day it was finished. Maybe it would be easier to drive a Restoration that was (JUST BOUGHT WITH LOTS OF CASH or the car wash inherited) I don't know... I know there is another side to having an Older Vehicle the (DRIVING PART), because vehicles were made to be driven, I do miss that...I'm just not there with my truck yet until I feel the 10 year Restoration Burden is of my back, until then I will Trailer to Shows and enjoy the fruits of my labor ….then I can say (BEEN THERE DONE THAT)…..STEVE M

Good for you Terry......May you have Happier times ahead......My wife and I will be joining you with our retirement the end of this year....Can't wait...:)

Keeping that Standard is the main reason in all of this from the beginning of the restoration to the Last AACA show the vehicle gets judged in.....The AACA shows TO ME, help take all the Headaches AWAY I went thru to restore our truck, We are finally enjoying what was accomplished in the restoration by sharing it with others that have the same passion in these old Vehicles, there is so much more I hope to explore by either doing Tours or just venturing out here locally, Oh and maybe judging also, I'm sure everyone in this club goes thru this with there restorations over time, I'm finding this out talking and watching others at every Meet.........:)

Steve, Thanks for answering my question, just getting to a Grand National Meet is an achievement having to get past the 1st Junior and a Senior... My Wife and I already have our room booked for next years Auburn IN Grand National Meet, It will be special for us for sure....We will be retired by the end of this year.....:)

Steve, What you are saying does completely make the subject more understandable Thanks....The only difference the choice makes is the time frame which will only work if you have a real nice restoration that makes it to the Grand National in the same year and doesn't require any major changes to the vehicle that can't get done in that same year to get that Grand National award...I did notice one thing in the 3 years I have been showing, I received 2 Preservation awards before I got my First Grand National this year, some of that was because I was not able to get the first junior or the senior in the same year so I had to wait till the 3rd year to go to my first Grand National. My question is: Does it make any more difference having been judged more times before the First Grand National having More Judges eyes see the vehicle and possibly find more details that should be addressed, I found that having my truck thru 2 more shows because I had to wait for the following year helped because the judges pointed out some details that helped me get my First Grand National Award, if I could have done it all that 1st Year that would have been real difficult with the detail changes on my Truck and Time & Money. Having said that the Old Way worked best for me to get my truck thru to the First Grand National Award, which is Quite an achievement, I feel very fortunate to be able attend an AACA event and Show our Truck, Not everyone can Say or Do that.... All in All in the End it's been Very Fun going to the AACA Shows and meeting Good People that share the same Passion with Older Automobiles...I wouldn't trade it for nothing..... STEVE M

Spot On....Well Said...My thoughts also....:)

Just an opinion from a member that's been to 5 AACA shows since 2016: I put a lot of Time - Money and Hard Work into the restoration of my 1956 Chevrolet Truck, I didn't do it to go to any shows, I did it because I wanted to get that vehicle as close to original as possible in every detail. After I had finished it I wanted to do something with it because I Knew I couldn't just drive it like all my other Drivers I've had in the past, So I started searching for the Type of shows that my truck would fit into with the caliber of restoration that was done on the truck and to see it appreciated like I appreciate the restoration...I know I will never be able to do a restoration again. So I decided to take our truck to an AACA National Event in 2016, I didn't go thinking or expecting that I deserve every award there is to be had, just wanted to see how high of a level our restoration can Go at any AACA Events….So far I've made a First Grand National award, I don't believe that AACA gives you this just to keep you coming back to there events, I tried to cover every inch of my truck when I was doing the restoration, I didn't even know about AACA while doing my restoration , So during my first show I felt like I fit right in, (Heck I wanted to see if I was the only won was this finicky with Vehicle restorations), I wasn't, I can fully understand what people go thru to get to one of the AACA shows, We are very Fortunate to be able to find the time and Money to show what we have accomplished to others at an AACA event, I haven't been to a Concours Show but I'm not sure if they would even accept my 1956 Chevrolet truck just because it's a truck, most of the time it's older more expensive vehicles. So I'm happy that we are able to show our truck to an organization that appreciates what the average JOE Blow can do with his or hers money and time to bring back what a Car or Truck should look like from the factory....AACA lets you know with it's judging if you have accomplished that.....After taking it as far as I can go with judging I would like to try the Touring or Judging some day since my wife and I are retiring this year....STEVE M

I would gladly trade rooms with you if I was on the lower floor but I'm staying at the Super 8 in Auburn on those day's.....STEVE M
