Looks like a very beautiful place
Something smells fishy around here!
I think Mitch or Hoppy has that picture. I didn’t get the group photo on my phone. We didn’t strike out.
We all caught stripers and some blue fish.
I received this today. Not original so it fits me.

Cool!
I been under my Scamp dashboard today fixing the arm to the right windshield wiper. Both end bushings were the original bushings and the only ones I didn't replace when I restored the car. I should of replaced them before I put the car back together.

I might have to check out a Scheels. I've heard people talk about those stores in a good way but I've never been.
I just looked it up and there's one near me
You need good wipers so you can see, and don't end up in the ditch.I been under my Scamp dashboard today fixing the arm to the right windshield wiper.

I'm always in the ditch Ray.
Plastic bushing that were designed to last 10 years lasted 25 or longer. Aftermarket made to OEM specs last a couple to 3 years. Everybody and his brother says aftermarket bushings are junk. Truth is, the fault is in the pivot posts. Not only is the left pivot being shoved around by the motor but it drives the right pivot too.I been under my Scamp dashboard today fixing the arm to the right windshield wiper.

The 67 model still has bronze bushing everywhere. I had to take her left pivot completely apart and replace a severely worn shaft with donor from a good used right pivot.
If you haven't renewed your pivots, mark them with a sharpie b4 removing. Rotate 90 degrees at reinstall. Ride on a less worn side of their internal bushings. That worked well in our 73. Smooth and quiet.
For the sake of knowledge, search similar replacement parts for any other brands wiper linkage. Dorman has 1 other maybe. Most wiper drives are outdoors where they belong. Entire assemby is replaced when needed.
Those under the penastar go under the dash with bandaids. Happy moparing? Not always
Good to know and thanks for the info. I try not to drive it in the rain but ya know how that is.
318 - 321. Whatever it takes
Here you go guys. The end of the trip group picture.
Got walls fastened as good as they are going to be. Treated plywood bottom foot overlapping to the “form boards”
Such a stupid setup, other option is demo and rebuild. Should last another 20 or 25 years.

Thanks Steph, would like to have been there dinking up all the beer and having a good time.
So who landed the biggest fish.
In the land of "Good enough"...
Springtime you may reconsider.
OK who is who, from right to left and if you end up side ways in the ditch from top to bottom.
