1937hd45 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Hershey was two weeks ago, and for many the end of the car hobby year. Hope you got rid of unwanted stuff and replaced it with needed things. So now that stacking firewood and raking leaves is in full swing what are your car hobby plans ? Finishing unloading the trailer and storing unsold things is Goal # One for me. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Great topic Bob! 1) Put a few more miles on the A before it's too cold for roadsters. 2) started to get parts together to clean things up under the hood a bit, fix usual Model A weep left rear side of engine, and replace aftermarket intake/exhaust/heater with a stock type arrangement, clean and paint a bit and maybe finally install my engine pans. 3) order complete seat from Classtique. Spoke with guy at Hershey and was impressed. Time to sh**can those collapsed seat springs. 4) maybe clean up top irons and install the top finally. 5) wheels! Not thrilled with my yellow powder coated wheels. Car is faded maroon now, between red and black wheels and I would like to knock this project out sometime. Lots to do, did I mention fall skeet league? 😁😁😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bloom Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 In no particular order..... really get my garage organized better, and after that is done, get a new tool chest. get all the mechanicals working well on my Packard and talk to a few experienced buddies about a “plan of attack” for the paint next spring. keep my eyes open for a nice Sun Analyzer Distributor machine. also on the lookout for a nice Mae West visible gas pump. Get some of my memorabilia displayed so it can be enjoyed. ................. many more things, but I’m afraid to put them down in writing for fear some of you might check back in the spring and hold me accountable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Mack_CT Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 18 of 24! Bob that's great and it sounds like you two have a great tradition. Assume it was your PB trip. John reminded me we have some inside work to do as well around the automobilia. Son bought a house recently and is taking some furniture we had been holding for him creating a bit more space.

TAKerry Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Install the new windshield in my Trans Am that was delivered to my door step yesterday. And think the whole time that I could have save $200 by picking it up at Hershey! LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Pretty much the same as pk. Part of the depression is that I did not sell 1/2 of what I anticipated and so still have to find a place for storage. Sorting and cleaning the pile of 1925 Buick chassis parts and engine that finaly made their way to my garage in PA. from Buick buddy Mark's place in Wash. The only things sold from this collection was a set of 1926-1927 headlights and front leaf springs. I am still dealing with the ongoing saga of the disposal of my beloved 1937 Buick. Accident happened on Aug 1st. I am still waiting for the PA. DMV (over 4 weeks now) to get me my salvage title so I can get the settelment check. Then I can sell the car. I tried to sell some of my 1937 spare parts at Hershey but only sold 2 starters and 2 wheels. I need to clean off the trailer so I can do my yard waste hauling to our dump.

TAKerry Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Shame the title issue is taking so long. Same ole story about delays. At one point they were saying the DMV's were behind by months and months. I applied for a title transfer through a 3rd party and got the new title in the mail within a week. I was surprised to say the least. In MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert G. Smits Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Finish the rebuild of my wife’s 81 SLC which hydrolocked secondary to a head gasket leak when it was stored for the winter. Also leaving Saturday for the “Buzzy” tour in Orlando. Those of you in the NW could load a car in the trailer and head south for a few more weeks of touring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) 1) Having sold my 1930 Model A last spring I finally gathered all the extra parts, books etc. that pertained to Model A’s. I will take all to Mark Cameron’s pre-war swap meet (Owatanna MN 10/23) and sell or give away the excess. 2) Drive my Chrysler as many miles as I can until the snow flies. 3) Today I started the process of installing a starter in my 1913 Model T.

avgwarhawk Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 My Electra has been awarded HPOF this year. I requested what if anything had removed points from the judges. My goal is to correct the items that had generated a point deduction. Then register the Electra for HPOF Original next years Hershey event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
