His heart was always with Ferrari and Porsche. The car was sold to a man down in Kzoo so we still have it in west MI.
You got it! That's literally 3 minutes from my house. Most of those cars are rods and muscle cars aren't they?
I was there once years ago on a weekend.... didn't know they had a car show! How many rides get out there?
Yea, Buddy. Why I called them American Iron pilots. Nothing wrong with that. :smile: So your reply made me toddle over to my records.
Washed Imola Orange 6-1-13 Sat. Took LBBP to Belleville 6-3 Monday for the first Bayou show of the summer. Had not been there before. Hung around and at 5:00 PM and directly thereafter, the sponsors/volunteers blocked off Main Street and the carscape switched. People N and S bound on Belleville Road/Main Street musta been p*ssed! Well, caught a pkg space, set it up, and went into the Bayou for 1st time. Had a real nice time, and left early. At 530-545p nice cars were already parking on the adjacent side streets. {Note to self: Get There Early!}
Lotsa USA iron, rods, muscle, couple of rat rides. Some real nice, original Ford and GM specimens. New Mopars. Some P/U trucks. Some older stuff. All good. Mondays June through end of August 4:45 PM til -?.
Thx! You keep some detailed records!!
By the way, I broke down... fired up the car and took it out today....just for a ride thru the sub. Forgot how low and how quick and how fun it is to drive the NSX. Hurry up spring!

Bleak. Stayed for around an hour and then went and picked up RC 4x4 for my kids as a surprise.
That conflicts with the Waterford Hills Race #1 weekend, but WE WILL attend at least one of those Lingenfelter C&C's during the season..........you can bet on that ;^D
Brian
Ah yes, Waterford Hills your first love.
I believe the first C&C could be the biggest, but its Lingenfelter so all of them could be huge. It's 2 hours one way for me so I most likely will only be attending the first one, assuming my car is ready by then. The open house event on the 26th is going to be really big too. Since you live so close I would imagine you have already been to Lingenfelter but if not, it's a pretty amazing collection of vehicles they have over there.
It's nice that you get me ;-PAh yes, Waterford Hills your first love.
Yes, been to Lingenfelter several times now.......but since the collection is constantly changing always look forward to my next chance to visit the awesomeness!
Brian
I need to get you those interior components. I do need to buy you a new center speaker piece though because I accidentally snapped the bottom front screw retention tab off when I tripped over it in the basement a month ago. 
I wouldn't worry about that, you just made it lighter for me!I need to get you those interior components. I do need to buy you a new center speaker piece though because I accidentally snapped the bottom front screw retention tab off when I tripped over it in the basement a month ago.

Ah yes, Waterford Hills your first love.
The C&C isn't at the collection but rather the "Engine Build Facility"

Dang. Just sold mine a few months back. :frown:
I may know a guy here in west Michigan that might have one
OK, finally some progress in the garage to report.
I got the red and silver cars off the dollies and out of 'storage' mode, so now have plenty of room to get going on the purple car's engine install.
As you can see, there was still a bit of snow on the slope of the hill along the driveway, but as of Sunday it's finally all gone!

Mike came over and we evaluated the taskline, and even got started on the flywheel install (um, until we realized neither of us had the 12-point sockets handy needed to torque those bolts ;-)
There was a small amount of rust on the flywheel and pressure plate faces, so I gave them a light resurfacing.
One surprise is that my assumption that due to the hefty clutch pressure required that we were running a RPS Single-disc setup, but it's actually a twin!
Maybe I can talk Ryan into swinging by as an adviser on the coolant hose replacement, bribes happily offered ;-P

Happy to see some forward progress Brian! Always happy to come supervise with IPA in hand.
Sounds like mine is heading north tomorrow. We'll see whose is running first.

At the open track day yesterday, I can't remember who I was talking to, but they saw the big LoveFab trailer heading southbound on US-23. Cody on his way to pick up your car? I have to believe that was the case.
Thanks for the offer of help with the coolant hoses. It will help cut down the time required to attach them all, and especially so since the motor is out of the car. :smile:
