Wednesday
Right after breakfast this morning we headed to Fred's Wiring and Custom Hot Rods. I called Frfed the night before, he is going to help figure out the gas problem. We got the car on the lift and started checking the gas line from the tank forward. Bingo! we found it. The rubber line from the tank runs thru tghe bed floor and connects to the mounted hard line. The vibration and gravity pulled the line down farther and when if hit the hard line, it looped a bit and then kinked it, there was the obstruction, it was kinked so much the hose was almost shut off. I just pushed it back up and then secured it so it could not slip down anymore. That should fix that.
We also noticed that one of the insulators on the exhaust had cut in half, replaced that and then added two more exhaust hangers, now it is even better.
The next stop was Marcel's metal Works. Foose was there planning Ron Brown's new car with Marcel and Luke. He was tapping the full size drawing to the wall as we walked in. After a nice visit with them, Foose wanted to go outside to see the RPU.....cool.
Next was Barry Whites shop and then a ride south to Foose's. Scandavian Street Rods, Wheelers, West Coast Street Rods, Squeek's and Art Chrisman's shop. Pretty full day.
We headed for home about 4 PM in the traffic. Using the commuter lane was great until we hit 91 and had to have a pass card to get in. Then it was 12 miles of 20 feet at a time, that was long.
We got to the hotel about 5:30. We all walked across the street to dinner and BS, always fun.
