I have seen some great and award winning cars done by " back yard restoreers ". When people tell some one they can,t do it more than likely they are in the trade and need work. Years ago there wasn't the shops around , a lot of these were started by back yard guys that where good . not alllllll .

We had a great time Tuesday nite at the sale . Found a few nice Oakland pieces . Some nice interchange books from 20's thru 40's . Nice to see some new faces . Kings32

I used interstate batteries until they priced them themselves out [ have to pay for that race car ] I now use battery warehouse. great service and the batteries last . I also use battery tenders on all my old cars . Get about 10 to 15 years out of a battery.kings32

As president of Gettsburg Region I have the pleasure of working with Don ,Great guy . Works hard for the AACA and our Region. I would like to see evey member go out and get one new member. None of us are getting younger and the cars need a home in the future. Howard

Well its satu rday ,Its all over we all had a great week . The chevy made it through the week , the only thing we had to do was ajust the third brush on the generator . Ran great we did about 500 miles . Made some new friends. What great food and lots of it ! The club did a great job tour routes where done very well , Never a wrong turn. Only when I wasn't paying attention. Love these tours hope to it again next year . Howard

like some say I enjoy working on the cars myself . I have done a number of cars for that I tour with , I don't like doing show cars because then people don't drive them.Cars are suppose to be driven . When more cars are being done by shops that what has put this hobby above most peoples head .( money ) Howard

Hi all Chris and myself are our way to the glidden , this will be our 11 one .We are in Lexington Ohio will be in sunday morning . Looking to meet up with old friends and make new ones . Always the big question is who will be on this tour Howard

I pull a gosseneck 30 ft with a 2001 Dodge dually diesel Before this one I had a 96 Dodge 3/4 ton The 96 had 300000 miles on it. 24 mpg 18 pulling trailer ,Pull about anywhere . The 2001 pulls about the same but I get about 13 mpg ,20 around town . Both trucks had the same trans and rear gears. With the24 valves the mpg is not there . I have owned many other trucks but will stay with cummins . low maintain ,The new diesels Have very high maintaince unless you modif them ALL EPA Howard

My email is kings32chevy@aol.com Give me your address and I will send you a check . What else do you have for a 32 chevy? Howard

I would like to have both gauges . How can I send you the money or can I pick up at Hershey. Howard King Mt. Airy Md Kings 32 chevy @ aol .com

Sounds like it will be a smaller group this year . Cut off at a 150 cars, last year was a lot more . With a smaller group you get to talk to more people .The Chandler sounds like a nice car . How is it for touring? This part of Ohio there are few hills . Howard

I found some ash in the penna farm paper . Guy had it cut to redo a barn , never did it . I bought it all about two large truck loads for $200 . I did my 1930 Oakland and had enough to do maybe two or more cars , he had it for a few years so it was nice and dry. I have a logging fellow near me who is a good friend and keeps a eye out for me . I also do other wood work beside cars. Woodturning ! Kings32

I agree with that ,if don't drive them why have them? Show the people what us crazy ones do afther we spent all that time restoring them . We use them. kings32

Try Bruce Hall ,Applewood Motorcar he transports the east coast with closed trailer . 304 283 3661 I drove for him for a number of years , great guy does things on time when you want it done . He runs in to Florida about once a week . Kings32

I am not saying any thing bad , but I think that the clubs should work more toward the general membership in both clubs . The bigger part of our membership are middle class and cannot afford tours or shows as much as we did in the past. It seems the cost is going up faster than the cost of living. When I joined AACA 40 plus years ago we could do more than we can now . And I make more now then I did then .KINGS32

Yes Chris & I are going again this year . This will be our 10 Glidden haven't been on a bad one yet ,some are better than others. We enjoy the friends [ old & new ]. We usually we make at least one new friend when we go. We will be driving our 1932 Chevy 4 door .Howard

I think there is lacking in both clubs ,as far as working together. I belong to both clubs and was very active in both up to about 2 years ago . I now am more behind the AACA. I think it is a more people club . But with said I think some of our leaders should start paying more what the member alarge are saying.

The 50 Chrysler is a great car. My daughter has a 4dr that she got and restored when she was 15 years old, about 30 years ago . There great road cars lots of room and comfortable. She still has it don't drive as much as she should. kings32

There isn't any talk on here about the Ohio glidden , is that because the VMMCA is doing it. This should be a good one . They have been doing a tour every year for the last 20 years . Chris & myself have been on a number of them, most of them where well done. Good flat roads ,great for the older cars. Hope to see some old friends out there . Kings32

Marty I bought a Barrett set up , the hole set up is smaller then the ammco 3000. Love that machine ,a friend set the machine up ,adjusted the ways and it works great. Have't used the archer yet. You going to Ohio on the Glidden ? We are car 48 Howard & Chris

A friend of mine has a real nice 28 2dr was a national winner. He wants to sell ,I think he wants to much but I am not a A model person. Howard

I use a Barrett Brake Mobile has a arch grind also has a drum and rotor lathe . If some wants a AMMCO 3000 with bench and most of the fictures , Ihave it other wise is going to scrap , I don't have room in the shop . To much stuffffffff ! Kings32

I have a shoe arch machine. Bought it a couple years ago got tired of people doing jobs wrong ,also do my own riveting on a machine that is a lot older than me . If you are using modern material it does not have ob in it and works just as well. Do not use modern non woven material on older cars.The arching works well if you have the right Dia of the drum. Kings 32

Yes I used there kit for my 66 fury , They where close had to make some mods . the one in texas is good he help ed me to get it working .

I have done a number of cars {wood} There is nothing hard about it . the first one is my 1932 chevy before there was anyone doing kits . I used the most basic tools , jig saw chisels hand saws. As I was said Nothing beats a failure but a try. Howard
