Should they be too restrictive for our group, if Scott is willing, we could hold our meeting at his shop. That way, we are only with people we know and trust to not come out if they are endangering others. Food could be ordered for delivery or pickup. There are at least 3 project cars there that groups could get into.
I have a digital thermometer to test everyone's temp before they enter. Masks could be worn if the club wants to require them.

If you have one of those automotive diagnostic thermometers that you "aim and shoot", those work on people, too. No contact necessary.
I have one of those, too.

Also, 98.6 is running a fever, for me, and I know other people whose normal temp is 3 degrees lower. Surely people there, too.

I'm fortunate that she lives near me and I can go to her home. I wouldn't be concerned to go into her shop with those standards in place. But I would be afraid to go into a restaurant, not knowing their standards. Kemp has set some occupancy restrictions but I don't know what they are.

Yall come on.
Im not worried about the virus, but if anyone is the shop is big enough that 30 people can be in there and stay 6 feet apart. Everyone bring a can of Brakeclean for sterilizing purposes (that stuff kills anything).

If you don't know the location of the shop and wish to attend, please email for directions at GeorgiaFieroClub@Gmail.Com
The club will order pizza for delivery. We will have tea and soda for refreshment.
Temperatures will be checked at the door and the wearing of protective masks is requested if you have them.

Can that be injected? You know... like Lysol?

And on the original subject; I happen to drive by the Duluth Diner yesterday around 11:30am and they had a huge banner at the road that proclaimed they were open and had about 10 cars in the front parking lot. There was a lot of signage posted on the door I noticed from the road but did not stop to read as I was pulling the boat up to the lake at the time.

I still think it's too soon. Unless they are carefully arranging guests.
But that's just me.

Tammy said that Sams has plenty. TP and paper towels. You can buy it by the bale.

I also need to say thanks for the TP..... should be enough to last a couple of meetings
I believe it was agreed that we will do it again in June?

I was thinking more about the squirrelyness of the SE we were working on this past weekend. On top of the less than optimal left rear cradle bolt solution we found, what condition are the cradle bushings?
Not sure if you're willing to throw down $40-60$ for a set of poly cradle bushings from ProThane but if anyone has a spare set or if anyone has some urethane mix we could perhaps mold a set for pennies on the dollar. I know when I rebuilt an 87GT suspension from top to bottom 25 years ago, koni, eibachs, bearings, new control arm bushings, and needle bearings in the rear LCA's the squirrelyness did not go away until I replaced the cradle bushings...
Edit: Furthermore, I've read where you can stack and weld jumbo washers in the pockets to get a solid mount like the 88's. Might be even cheaper...
food for thought....

Remember, the 88 cradles are solid mounted, right out of the box.
Just an opinion.

FieroFool,

For years, I had been wondering about road squirrels. Apparently, they just need some bushings.

It seems that this poor Fiero got pushed around a lot. In one pic, the lift is well in the background, but in another pic, the Fiero is on the lift.
it is easy to move when ya gots one of these:
it also makes them easy to load on a rollback

Does anyone have a pair of bushings for the back end of the cradle? If you do, I'll trade you a full set for them. ProThane called me and said they were out of stock and my bushings wouldn't be available for another 2 to 4 weeks.
How hard is it to just tip the cradle down and swap out the rear bushings at a later date, keeping in mind of the cage nut repair that's being done? I don't want to put solid bushings in. The car is apparently lowered and rides harshly enough as it presently sits.
FieroFool,

I never gave thought to where this description might have originated, but now, I can imagine it's because of the way a squirrel darts back and forth across the roadway, usually not ending well.
