2010 Atlanta St. Patricks Day Parade

[TopNotch]

I got my yellow car back today. I found in examining it that the pcv valve and breather connection gaskets I used in my home-made SD4 valve cover setup were made of a material that can't take oil, and are disintegrating. So I have to look for something else at the parts stores that I can use. But it should be ready to go Saturday. I just need a driver. I wonder if Scott Brown is available. He drove one last year.

Scott has no transportation since his truck got hit.

Now we are talking,
the body guy called me last night and I whent and picked up the deck lid at his place.
I still have at least 1/2 a day of prep and primer to do on it before I can paint it but I hope to have it in color by tonight. he also told me I should have the rear bumper by tues.
so with any luck I will have the car done by thurs. that way I have time to work out any bugs and get it cleaned up in time.

Looks very good.

[sonic50]

Pat. If you need a driver I will be in town. Just let me know.

[TopNotch]

I'll let you know after I work on the yellow car this evening.

[Whodeanie]

I was able to get the deck painted last night so it will be on the car today. I just need the bumper now.
once I get that done I will be cleaning the car up for the show. I will not have time to get it color sanded and buffed but it will still look good.

The yellow car is ready to go. Sonic50, would you like to drive my red one?

[sonic50]

Pat email me your addrees and a phone number and what time you want me at your house and I will drive it.

My email is. Scottd at iamanascarfan dot com

I am going to make it for sure  every thing on the car is back together now except the rear bumper but I will have it back tonight and get it painted tomarow and installed friday.

[Fierofool]

The current forecast is still for rain through Friday night and beginning to clear early Saturday morning.  They expect all rain to be gone by 10 or 11 AM.  Predicted temperature is 54-57. 

I've gotten the parade entry point for our group for this year.  We will be at the same location as we were last year.  Ralph McGill Blvd. at Peachtree, except we won't be in the curb lane.  We have been moved out 1 lane to the left.  This likely means that due to our 10 year participation we will be entering the parade earlier than before and we can see everyone that enters the parade route before us.  It definitely means we won't be sitting under those street lights that have the pigeons sitting on them.

You forgot the "h".

Just sayin'...

I would not want that on my fresh paint thanks! going to work on the rear now.

I was able to get the rear painted today and I will be installing it in the morning and finishing up the little things. I should be back on the road by noon 

I talked to Ben and Anderson and both of them are going to try and make it with cars as well. maybe we will get lucky and the weather will get better.

[Fierofool]

They're expecting the rain to end by noon.  Only 40% chance in the forecast. 

Just sent out an email to the ones I knew were coming.  Missed Ben.  Didn't know he planned to be there.  Don't forget to bring your FRS radios.

Did anyone notice how they dropped out like flies when they found out that the guy in the picture wasn't going to carry the banner? 

[sonic50]

Can't wait. IF any one has a extra radio that I can used would be cool. See ya all 2 morrow morning.
