Monday

The weekend show was a great time. This morning we left on the cruise for Columbus, Ohio. We met at 8AM and on the road by 8:30. The first stop was only 20 miles to JR Motorsports, a builder of race and street engines. They had a small block on the dyno for us to see...fun. Next was a short 5 miles to Dennis Albauch private collection of Chevies. He has one of every year convertable, Corvette that was made. Also 3 Yenkos one worth 800,000 !! A 53 Corvette, one of 300 made, worth more than the Yenko.It is a fabulous huge garage with a parking ramp on top, next to a 18 hole golf course all owned by him.
The next stop was the Amana colonies for lunch and wine tasting. A good time.
The ole Buick decided to act up again....vapor locks every time I stop or go slow...disgusting! I thought I had it worked out. I think the next step is an electric fuel pump. Aotho there is a 54 truck with fuel injection and an electric pump having problems also. so who knows!?
I went to WalMart and bought a big cooler to carry lots of ice water to pour on the carb to cool it down.
In the morning it is off to St Louis to "Old Dog Street Rods"
