Each November we try to go to the Good Guys Scottsdale show as we like the RV area and the large number of cars they draw each year.   This year there were over 3000 cars and trucks. We took Karen's 53 Kaiser as Hot Rods By Dean ask us to put the car in their booth to show the wide variety of work they do. We arrived on Thursday and took the car to the Dean booth that afternoon, the show did not open until Friday.  Friday was fairly busy and we spent most of the day at the show. About 2 that afternoon my daughter  came to the RV with 4 of my Grand children and brought Thanksgiving dinner for us to share. We had Ham, dressing, veggies and a plate of fancy pears  along with sparkling cider. All very good and we had a wonderful visit  Saturday morning you had to there early as a lot of cars, trucks and people showed up.  Very nicely done 30's Dodge.  How about a Hudson Metropolitan with a 350 Chevy V8 in it.  Top 10 34 Ford.  Top 10 Packard.  Top 10 G

The T-Bird is slowly going back together with the side windows getting installed, dash being re assembled, exterior stainless & chrome trim, bumpers back on. I got the car running then moved it over to the hoist bay to install the exhaust system.  The engine fired up on the first try with the new EFI on it, warmed it up and set the timing. Had to add transmission fluid and power steering fluid other than that it ran and idled good.  Still have the headlight assembly to tackle but the re-chromed bumpers and painted grill went together; with the help of my overhead hoist, I used to pick them up while bolting them in place. All the turn signal and parking lights work.  The back of the car is done except the rear glass.  Dash is back together leaving the bottom and side panels off until I finish the testing to make sure everything works.  Side glass and stainless trim took a lot of time and I still have to adjust the door glass after the new window switch assembly is r

Sunday OCT. 5 we drove the Starliner to Mohave Valley (about 70 miles) for the Sheriffs K9 benefit car show.  There is a verity of different cars that show up.  Local jeeps nicely done  Nice restored Edsel.  The Sheriff deputies put police dog demonstrations during the day this dog is still in training.  This 41 convertible won the store owner award.  There were only 3 awards given by the store owner, Fire Dept. and Sheriff Dept. so out of the over 100 cars that were there we won the Fire Dept. award.
