While at Carlisle, Ron Keij and I happened into the tent of Great Lakes NOS ( glnos on ebay, http://stores.ebay.com/GREAT-LAKES-NOS ). This is the company that auctioned a Plymouth Owner's Plate on eBay, and which Ron won for $200. The plate never arrived; the owner concocted some story about custom...

...and now you see that it does. Welcome aboard, Charles!

...Then there was an ominous noise coming from the rear end/driveshaft area just as we got to the storage garage... Related, I think, to the transmission problem. Related, I hope ! I think the tranny was stuttering, causing the driveshaft to rapidly torque/relax. Time will tell -- first things firs...

Seems we've got a green stream from one of the exhaust manifold bolts... Gotta fix before Carlisle! ...and fixed, we are! We locked two nuts together on the stud, turned it out, permatexed it up, and slapped it back in. Look, Ma -- no leaks! Matthew has got the interior all back together, we're off...

Glad you're back, Roger! See you at the game tonight. We can discuss Faulkner's leak over hot dogs and beer. Seems we've got a green stream from one of the exhaust manifold bolts... Gotta fix before Carlisle!

Well, it's a week until the Keij's arrive -- and Roger will be on their heels. Gotta get my act in gear with Faulkner. The Dutch Invasion has commenced! Matthew's arrived, and is still zoned out from his transatlantic journey. Marjo and Ron arrive this afternoon... Then, Roger tomorrow! We're 6 day...

I was 5 or 6 down on the list, so I had to take the car back to the garage...

Well, it's a week until the Keij's arrive -- and Roger will be on their heels. Gotta get my act in gear with Faulkner. The radials on the car now are actually in very good shape, I just have a slow leak in the one -- I tried to locate 205-75-14 wide whites this week, but with little luck. I'm going ...
