For those interested, here are the results for that Class:

Subject: The Dayton meet.
I'm a recent joiner to the club (1 year ago), and I'd really like to get
to the Dayton meeting. But work is demanding, and I really won't know if
I can make it for sure until the last minute. Looks pretty good at the
moment, but things can change quickly. It will probably just be for part
of Friday and Saturday anyway. But I'm only about 350 miles away, and
with it that close, I'd hate to miss.
So I'm wondering: I'm single, and very easy to get along with. If
anybody comes up short for a roommate, or long on sleeping space at the
last minute, and wouldn't mind taking in a nearly complete stranger with
excellent taste in motor cars, I'd appreciate it if you would let me
know. And if there's a highlight of the meeting I really shouldn't miss,
then let me know when that is.
I don't have any cars in good shape to bring, but I do have pictures.
Sigh! On the other hand, I'd really like to sell one of my '55 C300's
and if there's anybody going to the meet who really wants it, I could
possibly be persuaded to trailer it up. Considering the price of gas,
and the fact that I'll really have to thrash my Wagoneer through West
Virginia to do that, I'm not planning to bring it just on sheer
speculation. I'll say up front it's a real project car, and I've put a
chunky price on it ($5500.00). But if I knew it was going to a good home
and was being replaced with cold hard currency, I could probably be
talked down.
So, talk amongst yourselves on that, too, and email me if you're
interested and I'll decide if it's worth bringing.
Thomas

Subject: Long Ram Score!
I just picked up a set of long rams today. I went to an informal
cruise-in in Roanoke, VA, and just as I was leaving a white 300K couple
drove up. I nearly fell over! What's more, he told me about a local
towing service that had a set of rams. The towing service was just a few
blocks away. He gave me the name and I called them up, struck a deal,
and walked away with them today. Whew! At the rate people have been
throwing parts at me, I'll have the restoration done in a couple of months!
Incidentally, his 300K is for sale, and it's a fantastic original.
The(red) interior is nearly perfect. Single carb. No rust. If I could
repay him by getting his car sold, I'd be happy. I'll supply his name
and phone to anybody who wants it.
Looking for some info on the rams, too. All I got were the rams
themselves. No carbs, and just a few pieces of linkage. I could use a
little education here.
The fellow I got them from is going to check for a couple of date-coded
carbs, so I don't think I'll need them. But you could let me know what
kind of carbs should be on them. Apparently it's a spread-bore carb,
judging by the holes.
These rams have the carb return spring anchor mounted on the ram. The
balance tube across them is missing, but that's just a rubber hose?
Right? Or is the rubber hose just a joint and I'm really missing a metal
pipe?
I'm obviously missing something at the flange where it mounts to the
head between the pipes. Is that the exhaust heat riser stuff? Is that
the part J.C. is reproducing? And is that a single piece that goes from
the head to the base where the carb mounts? Or is it multiple pieces?
Finally, the carb mounting bolts look like they'd fight to the death
before they came out. Galvanic reaction and all that. One's bent, too.
The seller told me to heat the aluminum with a propane torch, then let
it cool, and they'd come right out. That good advice? Any other
precautions I should take before I remove them? Will soaking in Blaster
do anything since this isn't strictly a rust problem?
Anybody with an actual car is welcome to send photos. And the factory
color for a '64 is turquoise, right? These are unpainted aluminum, and
look like they've been stripped, or were never painted. That possible?
Confidential to Gil: if I put these on my car, would you please not tell
anyone they're not correct? Can we keep that to ourselves? Please?
Thanks,
Thomas

Subject: Re: 300F smog test correction
Before I retired I lived in MD and was subject to Emission Insp. My little
Red always passed, even with 1 dead cyl. Then the cats rotted off and I
welded in a by pass. Just before I had to retest (every 2 yrs) they put in
IM240 testing equiptment. I spent several afternoons jury rigging the cats
back in, and when I went to be tested, they ran out and told me to come into
the office. Seems like they couldin't test the l'tl Reds because of the
stacks and gave me a permanent waiver........I moved out of the state 5
months later. I also tagged my 83 Dodge 400 Conv in AR when I bought my
property, and took the tags home to MD to avoid the inspection for a year
til I moved.

Com'on down!, thomas
By all means, DO come to the meet, however long you can stay. Hope the
"roomie" request works out, but for sure, be there. I promise you'll enjoy
the cars and people. Bring pleanty of pictures, every one enjoys looking at
projects.
And anyone else who lives within 300 miles or so and have not decided to be
there, just do it! If you've never been, you will truly enjoy the warmth and
friendship you will be welcomed with, it's really a great bunch of car nuts.

Subject: Found. 888 f Conv.
Hello all, I found in July an unknown F conv. with a 888 interior. I just got
confirmation from the club this is a triple Black F conv. This car is in need
of a total restoration. Looking forward to the Dayton meet, I have lots of
pics and stories of how I located this car.
See everyone in Dayton

I'm continuing to assemble my '65 300 Non-letter now and am looking for a

- Lower glove box insert in nice condition
- 1 front vent duct with no cracks (bolts to underside of dashboard)
- Lower stainless body trim with clips (dr. side between door and skirt)
straight/clean
- Plastic clips with pegs for upper stainless mouldings. (Are these
available? Don't recall Gary Goers having them)
That's all for now. Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: early history help re 57C 1046
Thank you to Gil Cunningham and others for help, and offers of trying to
track down the Turskeys in Fond Du Lac where they apparently had a business
of some sorts, and if they raced cars and bikes some locals may still know
of them (hopefully?).
1. What does the club know about apparent former member and considerable 300
collector/owner Carl Reirson of Chicago, and do any current members remember
visiting him, his cars, in the late 70s early 80s, at which time he likely
owned 1046?
2. No one has contacted me re the earlier 300 that Turskeys supercharged -
does anyone know if this car exists, or is there any way of tracing it back
then/since - ie how might one find out what number it was? I would be happy
to pass on what little detail I have re this 300 from the paperwork I have
re it's brief supoercharger form.
Once again thank you, and look forward to any other small bits of
information, guidance in any direction. It seems weird that 1046 started
it's supercharged life in St Nazianz Wisconsin, with a population of about
only 750 people, to now end up far away in South Australia, a vast continent
with huge spaces of so few people. I am very glad to be the current
'caretaker' of it, and after I die no doubt it's strange story will continue
with a new (possibly as strange) chapter?.
I note your mentions re smog testing - here in South Australia all we have
to pass re this is a noise level test. So whereas we are lucky here, just
think about our gas prices - roughly $4 a US gallon, and our roads are
pretty second rate except for odd interstate sections that are 4 lane.
all the best over there, have a good weekend, our forecast is for cold wind
and rain.
