rocketraider Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 If I'm lucky I'll be able to drive up Saturday afternoon just to look around. Gave up on entering a car because of the insane hours I've worked the last two months, and wasn't sure I'd even have this weekend off. Steve, hopefully we'll be able to visit if I can get there. All the cars need a road trip, but as usual I'll probably be on the wagon or Bravada.Ron- I have seen many things on Smith Mountain Lake, but never an Amphicar! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Green Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Glenn, Look me up Saturday. A few of us are heading over to the lake instead of the awards banquet. Most are just up for preservation awards. Figured it would be more fun playing with the car. You are welcome to follow us out to the lake (11 miles) and go for a ride. Hopefully it isn't to high of a mountain to climb. We are staying at the Hotel Roanoke Saturday evening so will be back in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got our Sr. at Hershey last year and we've been driving it and having a ball, now it's time to pay the price for those miles.Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Will be there and also hanging around the Model T class. My 1914 Touring is "coming home" for this one. The car was restored in 1965 and shown in Roanoke for the very first time in 1966 at a National Meet. It still proudly wears the Natl First plaque from that meet. It sat in a garage for 25 years before I found it and brought it home. It served as a home for unwed cats, a step ladder, a place to pile junk, and a source of spare parts for someone over the years. Its now a driver and gets a pretty good workout around the neighborhood hauling kids. Hopefully some of them will grow into the hobby. I'll have it in class as a DNJ. Ignore all the scratches in the paint but stop by and visit.Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Bond Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Nope-didnt get the T up for that one. Had my 1912 Triumph there instead. It fits nicely in the back of my van.Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Great to see you and the T again! Thanks for helping Richard Hall get his T into position Sat. Thats the kind of spirit and helpfulness that makes our hobby so great. Richard became ill just before the banquet got started-too much sun, too little sleep and not enough to eat all added up, but he's ok now and very thankful for all the help getting his 1st Jr. See you at Greensburg!Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olds 442 Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 I'm happy to see that he got his 1st. Jr. and is feeling better. All I did was give a few pointers to help him along.His T was very nice and solid and he should do well with it. I'll see you in Greensburg!!

Terry Bond Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 The WD40 wipe-down is a must, especially having driven over from the dusty parking area. I learned that a long time ago for leaf springs. I tried something interesting this time to help get rid of the residue from brasso and polish. I used a soft bristle tooth brush and a dab of color polish - what I used was black color magic polish. I gently rubbed it around the nuts, bolts, rivets, etc where a few years of brasso had built up a chalky residue and it worked like a champ to eliminate the mess. All I had to do was buff the area with a soft rag once it dried. I found it also works very well on leaf springs where there is a bit of rust beginning to appear between them.Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novaman Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Terry, since I do the HPOF thing with my car and don't show often, please explain the wd-40 wipe-down you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Use some WD-40 on a rag to wipe your springs, axle housing, any chassis parts underneath or even in the engine compartment. It makes a great dustrag and cleans all the residue out of places you just can't reach. My Model T always gets looking pretty messy around the spark plugs, and a squirt and wipe with the Wd 40 makes the cylinder head look fresh and clean. Its also great for eliminating light rust stains between spring leaves, around cylinder head gaskets, etc. Try it-you'll like it, even for HPOF. I was on the HPOF team this time and thoroughly enjoyed the job. What a pleasure it is to see cars like that!Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novaman Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try it on the paint on my car (small spot). The paint is so dead and thin I can't wax it without the car turning white. Yes guys that IS AFTER rubbing the wax OFF. I'm not about to tackle the rest of the car with it but will remeber it for when I get my wagon done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
