Bet it was Tuesday!
Speaking of Tuesday and weld (which you are good at)

Just checked for a Carlisle weather update. Low 90's and 40-60% chance of scattered showers every day. About what I would have said if you asked me 6months (or 6 years) ago. LOL
Last year in the 80s was pretty good then!
 
Yesterday, we went to our local 4th July car show. A lot more cars this year, because every other show within 100 miles had cancelled. No classes just Top 20 awards and we won one. We had a great time talking with car people and sharing our 55 Chevy. Cool plaque they gave!!

Found the engine for Dave's 4th July car...

Friend of mine painted all the tin work on the engine of his Baja Bug in Star 'n Stripes. Since the coil and bracket hang on the fan housing, he cuts the top and bottom out of a Bud can to wrap the bright yellow Accel coil. For whatever reason he left the ignition switch on for an extended period of time. Many hours later he finds the coil has barfed it's guts up allover his Stars 'n Stripes :BangHead:

I don’t think they had their show in the local town park yesterday. Busy getting ready for Carlisle, so wasn’t showing anyway, but I usually at least go look. In the past, has been about 100 cars if good weather

Congrats. Nice plaque. I would rather have that than a trophy. We need to come up with something cool for Mopar Max

Its kind of like pewter, you local trophy shop probably has a web site with many like it to pick from.
On the back it briefly had a Made in China sticker. Local trophy shop did the lettering.
 
Too damn hot outside here today...even in the shade. Yuck.

Staying indoors this afternoon.

Hot here today also, but not too bad with the fans running. Been busy building a pile on the garage floor for Carlisle... Looks like I have more weekend supporting stuff, than I do parts to sell......:lol:

I'll have a good bit going out. I have a fender in the Duster trunk that won't fit in the Neon. Figure I can stash that with one of you guys till Friday if needed. Not sure if I will bring any more out Thursday. Wasn't planning to set up to sell till Friday. Depends what fits in the Neon. Have some big stuff in already, but not packing the rest till Wednesday.

Thanks. Craig is right aside of me but not sure what his plans are for overnight Usually they got a room but I think he is on his own this trip. Wolfie is supposed to be pretty close to my spot also... So looks like a few of us in the same area after all.
Pretty sure Tike is there as well. @dartnabout are you selling stuff?

Nothing to sell, I'm in by plane and still had the room at Carlisle Barracks. I'll be there early Wednesday afternoon looking for some early bird deals!!
