Salg, you can add me to that list. <BR>From what I understand, $40 of each flea market space goes to HERCO. Times that by the number of spaces!!!!!! <BR>The number of times the Herco poeple will out right lie to you!!
<BR>gotta stop and take something for high bloodpressure now.<P> -
What we need is for Peter to rig the buy/sell forum where you have to answer: buy /sell , then you can enter what it is for the title. for the description part, it won't let you post it unles you fill in a form with price, State, name, email, phone, etc. (the SalG Form). Either that or get and aduio message they have to listen to while posting topic. Someone like the "Nanny" outta get their attention.

if the drive you are talking about is anything like I think it may be, your every day car if it's an automatic transmission has one. By the way, it's planetary. think of the gears as our solar system. in the middle you have the Sun gear (actual name). this gear as teeth that mesh with what is called pinion gears. these gears are sandwiched between the sun gear and a outer ring gear. now it is a case of are you turning the sun gear which turns the ring gear or vise verse. The number of teeth on the sun gear, pinion gear and ring gear wil give you your gear ratio. This is all hard to try to explain in text. Email me if you still don't understand. Don't worry Father Ron, I'll end up getting anymore info posted for others, if more explaination is needed.

I'm looking at a copy of American car ID numbers 1950-59 as I post this. If you look at your VIN on your door post the first letter is engine code, the next number should be a "7" for 1957.<BR>the engine codes are. C=292 cu.in w/ 2BBL carb 212HP & manual trans., D=312 cu.in. w/ 4BBL. carb 245HP Auto/OD trans., E=312 cu.in. w/ 2 4BBL.carbs 270HP any trans.,and F=312 cu.in. w/SC 300HP any trans.

I second TodFitch's reply.

Beware of SalG!! It would be nice to know what kind of interior, NOS and other parts you are looking for.

Thank you Rick for hosting the DFer's at you restoration shop during the holy week of Hershey. I think everyone has an enjoyable time.
-
one reason for quick judging. We finally were not short of judges at Hershey for a change.
-
The results are not posted on this website. As was said, you'll hear from headquarters if you won anything. Yess, it'd be nice to have results posted here but the behind the scenes work can't be done quick enough for immedate results. the judging documents will still be changing hands tomorrow (monday).

At Hershey, the flea market/car corral runs from Wed. thru Saturday. The car show is only Saturday. At any AACA national show the class with 60's & 70's cars start with class 27 and up ( i don't have my judges manual unpacked yet) There are always cars from the 60's and 70's in the show and in the car corral. You're a little late for this year, but plan on attending Hershey next year. Dates are Oct 10-13, show is on Sat. best way of seeing the cars is to get there about 6am and go to the east side of the stadium and watch all the cars go by you. The show field is crowded with people and between 1,500 to 2,000 cars.<BR>Oh by the way, you better start making your motel resrevations now if you want a shot a getting a place anywhere close to the show. Otherwise you'll have an hour's drive from the closest room. I'm not kidding!!<p>[This message has been edited by novaman (edited 10-08-2000).]

His appearance might be slightly shaved on here(see best judges breskfast ever under the general fourm)But, Father Ron does have an answer for us and I'll let him post it.

Deering: I didn't catch your comment before about Yenko Chevys. The Yenkos were a Chevrolet Camaro or Nova that was delivered to Yenko for the modifications before going on to the dealer. It was a limited quanity option from Chevrolet. Now before i insert foot in mouth, I'm not positive on how AACA is handling them as I'm not invovled in judging those classes which those cars are in. (another part of judges learning more from each other over time.) I personally mess with the '62-'65 Chevy IIs.<p>[This message has been edited by novaman (edited 10-07-2000).]

I can't remember the figure but I think it was close to $2,000 raised for the libary. Not bad considering it was started with $100 for (i forgot his name) and $100 for Father Ron to shave thier staches. Other guy did it at the $100. Way to go Father Ron!!
You made it a good fund raiser. -
Thomas, Were are the german girls in their bikini's.
Oh, I forgot. For them to be leaning all over one of our cars they'd have to be nude so they wouldn't scratch the car with a fastner. I don't Peter wouldn't let us post a good picture like that on here. Anyway, nice car. -
Been there,
checked it out today. Rain gear was packed 
two days ago. Be real, what's the chance of Hershey without some rain??

If it was me looking, I'd start with any of the fields except the Chocolate or Chocolate annex. I would save them for last as they tend to have more vendors with parts for the earlier cars. I wouldn't count them out, just save for the end. Looking at a past show program the vendors your looking for will mainly be in the white field and the new Yellow and Blue fields.<P>You should stop at one of the striped tens as you enter a flea market field and get one of the show program book/"guide". It lists all the vendors, borken down by what they are selling (their main stuff) and also listsed by name. It will quicken your search.

Thanks guys. I didn't realize that it was a Knight engine. Lesson learned. That's what this DF and hobby is all about, learning from each other.

Thomas, does your Overland have the Sleeve valve engine in it? Could you give me more infromation about that engine? Like horsepower rating, # of cyl, Bore& Stroke, valve size openings, etc.<BR>I remember being at Hershey years ago as a little kid. The show was inside the Staduim. The car sat over were the race cars come onto the track for the condition run. The gentleman that owned it had several nickels sitting on edge on top of the engine while it was running. He would rev the engine and the nickles would just dance around on edge. That is the only thing I remember from the show I went to as a kid, while the show was being held in the stadium.

Father Ron, in regards to your post the other night, you know how you go into this mess. You volunteered!! We also know you are someone we can openly talk to about AACA stuff and you can get the action taken that we can't as just one person. You speak, people listen. <P>I tough of this quick. you might like it.<P>23 psalms of the AACA DF<P>Father Ron is our shepherd; we shall not want.<P> He maketh us to lie down our wrenches: he leadeth us beside the still motors.<P> He restoreth his car: he leadeth us in the paths of restorations for AACA's sake.<P> Yea, though I surf through the DF's of cyberspace, I will fear no evil: for thou art with us; thy PC and thy posts they comfort me.<P> he preparest a thread for us in the presence of street rodders: thou anointest my head with motor oil; my beer cup runneth over.<P> Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the DF of the AACA for ever.<P>Hope you liked.
See ya'll at Hershey<BR> -
duh. Why didn't I think of that? Thanks Peter. I must be having a case of brain fade from going to work early and trying to get ready for Hershey.

If you go to my chapter's website, under the photo gallaries, to the 1999 BMOC Show. There is a picture of the Beacon one of Alamance Chapter's members is restoring. It was brought to the show because of it being unsual and to show an example of a restoration in progress.
-
Maybe we could get Peter to post that group picture for all. the worst it could do is crash eveyone's computers when the image comes up.

Hey SalG, how do you think I came up with the dates other than my wooden nickles.
Heck, i have a hard enough time keeping up with this year's show dates muchless future years.
Thanks Rick for the DFer's meeting
