Sequim car show

[Luva65wagon]

We did talk about this at the meeting, and there were only 6 of us there and most have their cars in pieces hoping they get them together in time. I think the general concern was coming up with a spare $100 bill to make a trip there and back with show entry fees and ferry boats, etc. I know for myself, at the moment, that's a concern. I'm inclined to leave it to last minute to see what the day holds - since many of these places don't refund money if it is rained out.

But keep pinging the thread to keep everyone aware of it.

On May 3rd the car cruise will leave Price Ford in Port Angeles and head out to Cape Flattery which is the Northern most point on the west coast. It's about a 2hr drive each direction. The drive will follow the straight of Juan Defuca most of the way. Should be a very nice drive.
On May 4th the car show is at the bus pavilion also in Port Angeles. It will start a 9am and run till about 3pm. The show organizers told me if we have enough Falcons coming they will do a special class for us with a trophy.
This is about 4 weeks away and we all know how time flies by. Hope to see some of you there.

I've decided since I'm not 100% sure how well my cars run yet (have not driven the wagon since it was redone - and the Flarechero only about 15 miles, so far) that I'm going to take some vacation and drive them both over - one at a time, slowly, over the next week or so, and then just stay at your house until the show is over - and then drive back one and have you tow the other one back following behind.

Hope that's OK?

[doghows]

Yup that is fine. I have plenty of room, just leave a set of keys and were all good.

Bump up. Sunday May 3rd car show Sequim. Weather is looking good so far. Let me know and if we have a few I can get us reserved space!!

My plans to go got trumped by work a few days ago, I have to head east for 7 days including that weekend.

I'm still not sure what I'll trust to drive that far yet. I'm scrambling to try and wrap up the wagon so I can swap with the Ranchero and check out making it quieter and shift a little better. Been too rainy to even get into the carport to try that (besides the carport being packed with Falcon parts!). I have not driven the wagon yet with all the new parts, so it's still un-shook-out. Hoping it survived my radical changes to it.

I do have some items I need to have powder coated, so I was going to make that my secondary excuse for spending money right now to drive over there and back, but I have to have confidence I won't need to call AAA as well.

I think the consensus at the meeting most were in the same boat as I (not the ferry boat) being unsure they could swing a show this early in the year - still trying to wrap up their long-winter projects (who has the 3-car garage?). I think you are about the only one who has been driving their Falcon. I think we will know if anyone makes this the night before. Not conducive to arranging all-together parking, I know, but what happens, happens.

I still want to come over sometime but afraid it won't be for the show

Take pictures of your award.

I didn't realize I was tipping a row of dominoes...

[doghows]

Guess I'll have them reserve a space for one?

Got the wagon together finally tonight, so maybe two. If we ever have a decent weather day (when I'm off) I will take it on a road trip to see how it does. But it may be last minute.

I just got my headers back on after getting them ceramic coated. I'll need to break them in. And I had the steering box rebuilt, put on a new sway bar, and replaced the strut rod bushings. And all this means I now need a front end alignment.

So...you'll have to have fun without me. But don't forget to hand out cards and mention the mini-regional if you see any other Falcons.

Ah - a couple hundred miles won't wear out those tires.

It seems we're all doggin the doghows. Don't take it personal Steve. I've been busting my butt trying to get ready in time, as I think others have too. I know for me it's just been a pain to find time. But there is still a good chance I might make it over there.
