Countdown!

Seven days to WagonFest! What's everyone doing to get ready? Other than Pat... we know what you're doing.

STILL pulling parts from my basement to post and sell to youse guys.

Wooooo!!!!!

I am SO gonna forget just about everything...

Getting ready? Me? Nah.

Too late to do anything now........ Vacation started today.

Detail the car

scrounge cash for the things I need at the fest (parts that have been ordered/requested)

Inventory and pack detail chemicals and equipment needed

Fix that flat spare of mine and pull out a nail in one of my tires that's been there for a month (put 10-15lb of air every 2 days)

Change oil, replace front bearings- is 66K too many miles on a set?

I REALLY need to stop procrastinating..... I think I'll start tomorrow.


Mike, just programed your address into the Tom Tom because, well, Rob Rob takes the scenic route after he gets off of 81........

As long as they are not pitted or otherwise worn out I would just clean and repack the bearings. No real need to replace if they are not busted up.

Those going to the fest, have fun, and get lots of pics.

As the saying goes, "Maybe next year"

Yeah! We leave Wed night to head up to VA...then Thurs I get to fool around with my wagon @ Mikes and then help him with some stuff on his OCC. Then we head up for NY!!!! SWEET!!! It will be hard for me to concentrate on work Mon and Tues. Ug. SO many wagons and people I want to see again!!

Chris

Have I been excluded from this thread?

I may or may not dust the jack in the 93 time is an issue

Ta Do list:

Intake gasket
Valve Cover gaskets
Paint door jambs (probably won't get to that)
Change Plugs, Wires, Cap and Rotor
Tranny filter and Air filter
Get muffler changed (I hope)
Clean the interior to the best it will get,.. which isn't very nice excpet for the back section which I changed out already
Plus a few things for my dad, and fix the customers cars that are here, cause I need the cash for the trip.

Is anyone coming from anywhere near Chicago or somewhere along 90? I really want to come, but my wife doesn't and I don't want to drive the whole way by myself.

what about taking a flight into Rochester? or buffalo?

If I flew to Rochester would anyone be willing to pick me up on Fri and drop me off on Sun?

gonna spend the week at work (including fri-sun) wishing I was in NY.

Dave, book your flight, I'm SURE one of these guys would be happy to pick and drop you at the airport.
Pat offered to get me at Buffalo last year, but I just couldn't afford the flight (wasn't working).

Hell, I'd make the trip out to pick you up, Dave. I don't mind! I don't know about dropping you off on Sunday though. I'm sure someone would though!

And I have got to get ready! I'm on vacation NOW!!!! Wooooo!OOOO!OO!O!O!O!!!!!! Although now that I autocrossed it Sunday, I need to add "flush the PS fluid" to the pre-trip list.

So what am I bringing for who? PM me!

Just got back from the store with my latest mod....lol. Got another SD card for the camera I love pics Packing the car tonight since we are leaving for VA TOMORROW!!!

Chris

Well if the forcast don't change it looks like a wet week end, that means the Ratmaster is staying home I can't expect anyone to drive it five hours in pouring rain one way and still be pleasant to deal with upon arrival!
So let us pray for warm sunny weather and hope the forcast changes between now and thursday evening

If not I'm comming alone in the 93

Pat

I just looked at the forecast and it looks overall like a pretty good weekend. There are going to be thunderstorms but a lot of sun. I'm sure one thunderstorm is one too many in the Ratmaster.

Brakes are done. Just got the powder coated wheels back. Tires go on tomorrow.

Hopefully the rain will hold off so I can do some cleaning tomorrow!

time to clean up, if the rain stops long enough...
I'm ready to hit the road in the morning...





Oh yeah Mike I got your tube thingie you asked for

Just did a quick wheelwell/brake detail, mounted up a set of SS wheels, and will do wash/wax/vacuum tomorrow morning before I leave around lunch. Should be at the shop by 4 to say hi, then back at the shop in the evening.

Safe driving everyone! See you tomorrow...

Jason

Whoo! Pat, that wagon is ready to go!

We gave up 6 exits North of the NY border on I81. Weather was horrible...interstate flooded in multiple spots....we counted 5 wrecks....took one detour due to shut down interstate. SERIOUSLY?

Was not planning on this hotel stay tonight, but just can't go any further. So tired. ZZZZzzzzz......

Mike, I hope you guys have better luck on that route tomorrow.

Chris

Ewww, thanks for the warning Chris!

We're hitting the road in just a few minutes!

I bet it will be fine for you guys Mike. Weather looks ok right now. Next year I want to be part of the caravan though...since I will have my wagon ready (hopefully)

Chris

Who's House?



FRED'S HOUSE!!!!
