DARN......Double Darn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Went on the Fun Run Saturday and it was a blast driving from Seligman to Kingman Arizona. Next morning when I warmed up the car for Sunday run from Kingman to Topak, thru Oatman there was no reverse, so we had to take a different car.
Monday, I pulled the transmission and Tuesday took it to
TIM DEAL TRANSMISSIONS in Huntington Beach, CA. (714)848 5504. He found the shifting plunger located in the valve body, had slipped out of the shift lever. The shift linkage is worn and a little sloppy in the car and when put in Park it traveled past the position and allowed the plunger to slip out of the shift lever fork. Tim found nothing else wrong and put the tranny back together so I would not have to make a 2nd run to LA. I made a bracket to limit the travel of the shifter arm and tightened up the linkage.

While in LA I visited the 51. The doors are being fitted to the body and glass is being made. As soon as the fitting and glass retainer work is done it will get painted.
Put the Starliner back together Wednesday.

Saturday June 18 we took the 51 to  the Yavapai Classic Cruisers car show at Mile High Middle School in Prescott AZ. We left the house at 5:30 AM as it's a 2 hour trip to Prescott and the show started at 8 AM, all went well except one of the trailer tires had a large blister on the side of it when we arrived at the show. I carry 2 spares in the trailer and changed the tire after I unloaded the car, checked in and had the car set up.  They had over 200 cars show up for the Fathers Day show and a good verity like this willies Gasser and chopped 34.  Chopped and channeled rat rod I think it started out as a Chevy.  1953 Kaiser like Karens Kaiser except this one is stock with a Chevy V8 in it.  Nice stock 46 Hudson coupe.  Model A very nicely done.  This Pierce Arrow Limo was a parts car when this owner bought it and made a hot rod with a Pontiac, automatic trans. and 9" rear end it also has the privacy glass behind the driver and a TV in the back
