  1. According to his 2019 obituary at Miller's Funeral Home in North Wilkesboro, NC:

    After retiring from Hayes Printing, Mr. Hayes owned and operated the Thunderbird Barn, where he sold vintage Thunderbird parts and used cars. He was a member of various Thunderbird clubs and loved driving Betsey, his 1960 T-Bird.

     

    Sorry to be the bearer of sad news

  2. Send a note to Richard Lentinello at

    PO Box 12421
    Knoxville, TN 37912

    or call Pat Buckley  at the National Office at 717 534-1910.

     

    Okay, I had to call Richard anyway. He said no because he is revising the evaluation sheet. You might want to send him a note about the two websites 

     

    BTW, all webmasters and editors need to make sure you receive Constant Contact emails. That is how you are contacted.

  3. CarNucopia and 1967 Red Deville, thank you for the appreciation.  61 polara (chief judge) and I will relay your kind words to the HNR at our next monthly meeting.  

    While the Charlotte Motor Speedway does provide us with a great venue site, there are some things that come with that venue in NC during April, including the tents and the cold.  Yes, everyone should be quieter while other awards are read, but we know the tent scatters the noise and does not absorb it.  As to the cold, come to our Auto Fest in the Fall and we North Carolinians will make it up to you with 90-degree weather.

    I want to add a shout out to Tom Gibson who did such a great job as the Zenith coordinator, to my bride who recruited the show field tent team, to President Jack Harris who kept us moving in the right direction and CEO Steve Moskowitz who never sits down!

  4. Mark is right. You can do a lot of damage with a pressure washer if not careful. I have three large decks at my home and I quickly learned to use the widest head, least pressure to clean them.

    I'd say try a noncorrosive degreaser and a hose first. 

    If that doesn't work to suit you, check for a Hotsy rental  There is a Hotsy dealer near me, and they do rentals.

  5. 4 hours ago, Stainless Revival said:

    I have been an employee of Paul’s Chrome for the past 20 years and have been responsible for all stainless restorations for the company. Since the closing of Paul’s I have opened STAINLESS REVIVAL LLC. Specializing in removing dings, dents, bends and twists producing a mirror finish. Look me up at stainlessrevival.com. I’ve always taken pride in my work and treat every piece as if it were my own. 

    Almost everyone has received their parts back and refund checks have been completed. Paul’s is not interested in keeping anybody’s parts. Lack  of production and rising costs of supplies forced us to close. A lot of Paul’s staff retired after Covid and has been extremely difficult finding quality replacements. 

    Great to hear about your new company. 

    Great to hear about a proper conclusion for Paul's.

    Y ou hang in there!

  6. No naughty list for you. There is a list of words that spammers often use which will automatically prompt a review. 

    Some technical terms that seem quite innocent like CAD are on the approval list.

    I just approved your post under 3D printing. You're good to go.

  7. TAKerry,

    I had hoped that Dave, Stan, or Jim would see your post, but let me take a stab at it.... and then, any way I've got to call Dave today about the Grand National.  So, I'll tell him.

    First and foremost, I think everyone in AACA judging understands your concern.  And yes, the Advanced school is not like jumping from high school calculus to graduate school, but there is a planned progression from one to the other.  And every time I listen to Dain, Stan, John, I learn something new!

    Thus, AACA Judges' training includes more than gaining credits to go to Advanced, be a Senior Master Judge, be a Team Captain, judge at a Grand National, etc.  It includes experience.  That experience certainly includes several schools, several different CJEs, judging at different places, on different teams, with different captains, in several classes, with several different makes and models.  

    In other words, while that credit goal is certainly worth it, the experience of getting there is a great part of what makes it worth it --whether it takes you three years or seven.  That is also a great part of the fact that our judging system helps us judge any car and is admired by all.

    BTW, welcome to the team! Enjoy the ride!

    Phillip
