Dear Blue, Thanks so much for the awesome photos of ZCON 16. A huge Congratulations!! to Hank and Jim K. on their victories. Our CZCC was superbly represented once again at the pinnacle annual exhibition by you fine gentlemen. How I wish I had been there in person to exchange high 5's and Huzzah's to each of you! So great to finally see faces and names associated to replace the ethers of my imagination. You are real people! ('cept for the Captain----he's on the tube all the time in those commercials)

Best Picture that captures it all

You folks who couldn't make it were truly missed. It would have been great to have all you guys together with us and it would certainly have been trouble, but fun trouble, of course! The Captain Drinkable was very nice. I've been an IPA guy for a number of years, but I'm really enjoying a well done pilsner just as much. In fact, here's me enjoying it : Granny, The screw was a Robertson. I had to look that up as I always just called them square drive, but that's what it was. I've still got it to serve as a reminder to carry my tire plug kit with me next time I do a long trip. I had my fancy-dancy narrow always inflated space saver spare with me that I could have put on, but I wasn't going to try 500 miles at highway speeds on that thing. Would've got me to a repair shop if I had a complete flat, but there's no way I would have tried to make it home on that.

Hey Charles. Wish you were there... here are the names.

I got mugged by these two thugs! Fortunately my Google Glasses captured this and sent it to my server before they started kicking and took it.

Got your back Beautiful Car!

Next morning was the trek home and (other than the Toronto traffic) this was the only real bummer... Driving through the hotel parking lot to head home, we hear this click-click-click from one of my rear tires. Stopped for a quick look only to find a screw stuck in the tire. After trying to pull it out and verifying that it was in fact punctured all the way through, we drove to a local Canadian Tire where they pulled the rear wheel off to patch the tire: And here's my souvenir. My "screwvenir": Thankfully after that time consuming and frustratingly expensive false start, the rest of the trip was uneventful. Got to stop at Bullfrogs Brewery in Williamsport, PA, where I got to sample this: So I'm home, tired, poorer, and trying to catch up on the forum and other things. Great meeting new friends. Getting together with past friends, and missing all you that couldn't make it.

Hey, decided to post my car build in case anyone is ever googling and just so i could document it and archive it for myself. I'm going to start with my sound system install but i'll back track with other stuff maybe sometime later this week.

If you were here it would be Leffe, Grims ou Trappiste ? Beers (you might call them ales) with a little bit more 'body'.

Next morning went to visit Grannyknot. We hiked through miles of wilderness to view one of his Z car projects: Mr. and Ms. Blue left early to do some additional sightseeing in the area, but Granny treated GGR and I to a fantastic Canadian surf-n-turf!! After leaving grannyknots, GGR and I went to Muddy York Brewing Company. Great microbrewery not far from the hotel. Here's a shot of the operation: Next morning was the Peoples Choice show and we tried to gather the ClassicZ forum guys for a picture. There were more of us at the show, but couldn't get in touch. We were able to gather about ten of us: Here's our ClassicZ table at the closing banquet:

I understand, this can get expensive if you want to run larger tanks... This is what I plated yesterday. Got good results although that may not be apparent in this picture. I would set it up and go check on the golf match or the Olympics. Plated everything for 30 minutes @ 0.14 amps / in Blue chromate for 60 secs and yellow @ 35 seconds. I rinse it with the spray bottle between chromates and shake them off. I haven't used heat to dry them yet. Let them air dry overnight. The yellow chromate won't scratch off any more since I am going straight to yellow from blue after rinsing... The finished color is very close to the professional stuff I have had plated

I'm aiming to be around for a while yet.

This is after the yellow chromate I dipped the bolts for 25 seconds and the washers for 20 seconds Then I lightly rinse with a spray bottle. If you get too aggressive you can rinse the chromate off. Shake the excess off. If it puddles and beads it will make dark spots. For things that really matter I dry them with light compressed air to keep them even...

Have seen this on the Manuals in the Internet before as well but mine looks different, as you said. i've got two 1972 Cars so i guess they changed the design later Ah yeah you're right. Haven't read the box yet, hahaha Anyhow Some mention the use Civic blowers, some use prelude blowers but after some hours of research i ended up with this one and i'm pretty sure it's the right one.
