Getting ready for the big show in Pomona Oct 22
« on: October 16, 2023, 04:54:27 AM »
Look at me go! In n Out 75th anniversary this coming weekend.
Car show-full
Drag racing-full
Spectators-no more on sale. WTFO?
Thanks to Pace Car Jeff, us 6 cylinder guys can now have stamped radiator hoses. It took a bit of convincing, but I think I just wore him into submission.
New tires
New correct drive belts
A lot of cleaning
Got the rear Cobrahead for the Fiber optics Installed
Installed the rear speaker
Installed the newly striped RS hoses
Got the parts on and the headlight doors aligned, doors no working
Replaced the wiper motor with a correct dated used unit-it works
Upgraded new T3 headlights

Lots of people stopped to see the big 6. All positive comments.
“Never seen a V6 in a 68”. Dad shakes head at mid 30s son in shame.
Me—Neither have I.
350 show cars
Full carnival, rides, games.

120 miles each way- nota blip of trouble from the ole girl. And the Fiber Optics were cool to finally use on a nighttime drive.

Just seeing this for the first time (now nearly 3-mos old). Didn't know there was a 6-cyl discussion board... only rarely do I notice the second half of home page (arrgh).  Engine compartment looks good! The lifted 4x4 Mustang is mind-blowing! Looks like i missed a fun event. But one question...

Dinner at the Pomona Valley Mining Co!
...with fresh burgers serving hot off the grill at the In-N-Out Burger anniversary show ?? (LOL)
