Great to see you Chistech and thanks!!! Ted, you are a great guy too!!! Now to get a picture to send in. Any suggestions???

Almost there...

Final stretch before Gettysburg Meet. Touching up minor blemishes, making adjustments and installing the floor mat. Was really nice to have the old tub area to use to mark and cut some of the holes for the new mat. Now to trim the toe board area of the mat and install the accelerator pedal.

Next week this time I will be on my way or already at the Gettysburg Meet with the Farm O Road for it's First Jr. Lot's of cleaning, adjusting and detailing to get it ready. Trying to keep the judges from taking points away!

I carefully remove the signs and then touch it.... LOL 🤣😆

Been spending the last few days working on the FOR. Cleaning and adjusting things for the show in Gettysburg on November 7.

Newport

Mopar??? Diplomat??

On Sunday the Kiski Valley Region AACA had it's fall dam tour. We had 9 cars and 16 members on the dam tour visiting 2 dams, one watershed and a truck collection. The weather for the dam tour was great as was the scenery. It is a shame we didn't have more older cars on the dam tour.

Our car clubs fall dam tour!

Almost ready for the road!

Looks good. 😊

Today I took the Lincoln for a test drive to make sure everything is in good shape. Got gas and stopped at the auto parts to get masking tape. All went well and it was a beautiful day to ride with the top down. Also spent some time on the FOR steering wheel. It is now a nice shiny black!

Lincoln radiator repaired and back in. Also gave it a bath today, getting it ready for our clubs tour on Sunday. Tomorrow more cleaning of the outside and then clean the inside.

I liked the last sentence, "the tractor operator was killed by a train the next day". So the stunt was not the dangerous part.

Last night my wife and I sewed the last of the seats for the FOR. One more item off the list.

Oh the fun of old cars!?!!? I wanted to get the 1958 Lincoln out and clean it up for our clubs Dam(n) Tour. It had been in storage for a year and hasn't been touched. The battery was down a little so I jump started it and if fired right up. Pulled it out and ran good till I was about two miles from my garage and after climbing a pretty good grade. It started bucking and kicking and then it died. Good thing there was a nice area to pull over on the back road. Got out and lifted the hood to find the radiator had sprung a leak and it was spraying antifreeze right on the distributor. I tried to dry everything off and restart it but it wasn't having any of that. Killed the battery and had to get my wife to come and get it jump started with her car. Long story short, it finally started and dried the distributor enough to make it to the garage. Now along with cleaning the car I will have to get the radiator repaired. I guess that's how things go in 2020!!!

Today would be the big car show! And until a few weeks ago it was still on. Post your pictures.

Today was a good day for the Farm O Road. I started out by changing one of the emergency brake rods as the one I made was a little short. Then it was on to painting the freshly blasted radiator cap. Then I started working on a steering wheel, using JB Weld to fill some of the small cracks that had developed over the years. It is now ready for a coat of gloss black. Then when I went to lunch my wife brought the license plate that arrived in the mail from the state today. Now I can drive it!!

Just a few memories from 2018.
