Post a picture or two of your Hershey past. What would you be doing on each day.
Today would be the day that dad and I leave for Hershey and stopping at the Sam's Club parking lot for the night.

Spent part of the day working on the FOR, cleaning and shinning for the upcoming meet in Gettysburg. It is beginning to look ready to go. The other part of the day I moved a few cars around in the back room, getting ready for winter ❄️. While moving cars around I found a few parts that I need for the FOR, one being a nice steering wheel. I am planning on getting my first car (1951 Crosley Super Wagon) out and cleaned up and finished over the winter. The brakes are hanging up on it so pushing it was a pain.

I just got my letter for the special fall meet at Gettysburg and have a couple questions. 1. The AACA Vehicle #, for vehicles previously entered in an AACA event. My car has never been to a show yet but it was registered for Hershey, should I use that number or will it be assigned a new number? 2. I see that we can register online, would it be better to do that or do it by snail mail with the check??
Thanks,
Dale

Work continues on the FOR. Today the rubber hose was installed on the wire connectors for the turn signals, the flasher unit (was found) and installed, the belt was installed, the battery was stripped of decals and installed. The battery was hooked up and the front parking lights work and when the turn signal switch is activated the opposite front light gets brighter. Oops 😬. I guess I will have to flip the switch over... Now I hear that Hershey show may be cancelled... I sure hope not, but we will accept whatever comes down.

More things done today. I painted and cleared the wire cover for the license plate. Also put the hoses on the wiper motors to the intake. Slowly getting done.

More items checked off the list of things that needed finished. The turn signal light in the dash was cleaned and installed, emergency brake springs and cables were connected to the rear brake drums, one shock is now installed with new rubber bushings,(waiting on the rest of the rubber bushings to come in), and installed the two rubber bumpers for the hood.
Still waiting for the state to send me my antique plate. The application was sent in on July 18 and on Saturday it was returned to me because we didn't put the unlaiden weight and gross weight on the application. Why they need that when you can't haul anything with an antique???? And why they didn't call me to ask these simple questions is beyond me. I filled out those blanks and sent it back in. Maybe I will have a plate before Hershey???

I got a lot of the little things done on the FOR today. Finished installing the fuel tank and line to the fuel pump. Finished the tail light wiring and installed the bulbs in the parking/turn signal lights. Installed the cotter pins in the emergency brake rods. Tightened the steering box nut. Lots of little things. Lots to do yet... And Hershey is coming fast...

Ed, that is where the air horn connects to the bowl and yes it is cracking. I am hoping not to touch the carb much for fear it breaks. I have a few pictures of other hupps but the fuel line is in the way on every picture.

I am working on my 1929 Hupmobile 8 and need some pictures of the throttle linkage. I think mine is hooked up wrong. Any pictures or diagrams would be helpful.
Here is mine, it hits the side of the carb when you hit 3/4 throttle.
-
Looking for pictures and information on the throttle linkage for a 1929 Century M 8 cylinder.
Here is what mine looks like. The problem I have with mine is that at about 3/4 throttle, the linkage hits on the carb.
Thanks,
Dale

Yes Emberglo met. First year offered on Mustangs. The year before it was offered on Thunderbirds with the Special landau.

Attended the Shannock Valley Region AACA car show today with the 1966 Mustang. Was a beautiful day and over 120 cars and great food!!! A special surprise for me was the Mustang was picked as the Fireman's Choice. I think it was our dog or the food tray that they liked.

More little things done on the FOR today. I made a ground wire for the fuel sending unit and attached it to the frame. Then I made the emergency brake rods that go from the handle to the cables on both sides and installed them. Then with more time I installed the fuel tank.
Now in the next few days I can plumb the fuel line and put some gas in it and see it it runs on it's own tank.
The list is getting shorter... and Hershey is getting closer!

Yesterday I put the sealer in the fuel tank, Por15. It seems to have done a good job only time will tell. Today I gave it a coat of gloss black paint. Once it is dry and I have time I can put the tank in and connect up the fuel line and go for a ride. That is if I ever get the plate from Penndot.
Getting close to being done and ready for Hershey 😊.

The last few days have been spent getting the fuel tank ready to be sealed. Hopefully in the next day or so I can put the sealant in and then let it dry for a few days before I install it.
Also been working on a customer's 1948 Chrysler engine. Getting ready to put the head on it soon.

I will be working on a customers 1964 Chevrolet convertible and he has looked everywhere and can't find the type of fluid to use in the top cylinders.
Does anyone know what was in them from the factory?? What should he use?
-
King,
Do you still have the car? Do you have the transmission lower bell housing?
Thanks,
Dale

Candee,
Can you PM me a price and a picture of the base of the lady so I can see how it mounts?
Thanks,
Dale

I am in need of the lower part of the bell housing for a 48 Chrysler fluid drive transmission. It is a cast steel part and mine is broke in several pieces. Let me know by PM if you have one.
Thanks,
Dale
