The rally is now over and we are heading home! We all had a great time and the weather was beautiful!
Pancakes we had by all with paul in ny maplw syrup. Had some muffins and drink to round out the meal.
Unloaded tim's 1957 power giant. Tim proceeded to start tinkering with it. Well, he actually started @ the crack of dawn! kevin examined his 1959 power giant from bumper to bumper. Can you say two happy boys as if they were in a candy store.
The demonstrations for the day included fixing 1st and reverse in a 3-speed column shift (pulling top off and adjusting linkage), buffing and polishing chrome and paint(because the Bling-Bling is real important to kevin), windshield removal and replacement, how to ruin a sawzall blade while cutting up a truck bed, and proper loading/unloading and chaining down the load.
Between the different demonstrations, pizza and homemade brownies we're eaten by all who had attended.
Rally ended with a quick roadtrip to dennis sherman's shop. We loaded a .m-43 (??) Power wagon flat fender ambulance. Talked some and I drooled over a wc-51. Being we alreay had a m-37 on the trailer withe the ambulance, the wc will have to wait another day.
We just missed joe! Sorry we missed you joe!
Pictures will be posted later.
Thanks to everyone, we had a great trip even if we are driving for 36 hours... .maybe the lobster and chowder will show up next time :-))
