Show the flag but don't waste too much time figuring out where to put those CD discs in your letter car's hi-fi. The WPC Club advises they may establish a Chrysler 300 Class if they have enough registrants at their July 21-25 national meet in Sacramento. http://www.chryslerclub.org/meetinfo.htm The Chrysler 300 Club, Inc. national meet is scheduled for August 26-30 in Tacoma. http://www.chrysler300clubinc.com/calendar.htm I hope to see you and your 300 at one or more of these meets and hope to wend my way back to the Chrysler 300 Club International, Inc. national meet in Branson, MO Sept 23-26.

Spring Cleaning It's that time again! Time to get your classic car out of the garage and on the road. Do you have a car show you have always wanted to bring your car to or maybe a great classic car cruise? Well don't hesitate. The next warm and sunny weekend get that car out, dust it off and rev the motor ..its time! The following are some tips that the staff at Precision Restorations have put together to help with the delicate transition from auto-hibernation to auto-rejuvenation. Shake the dust: . Wash the accumulated dust from the car. Don't wipe down with a dry cloth or spray cleaner. Over a short time the clear coat will develop micro scratches that will dull the finish. Use a light soap and water mix and clean cloths to wash the car. . Use a natural chamois to dry the car. This safely removes water and eliminates the water marks. . Use a light soap and water mix on the interior. Spray cleaners leave residue and are not required for a good initial cleaning. Road ready: . Bring the vehicle to a local shop for an oil change, fluid check and proper tire inspection. You may be able to do this yourself, however once a year it is a good idea to have your local mechanic give the car a thorough check and test drive. . Fresh fuel is always important when you get back on the road. First stop should be the gas station to fuel up. . New tunes. This is a good time re-load the CD changer or drop some new discs in the glove box. . For the first long drive of the year consider the local park. This is a great way to get the car out and about and allow others to enjoy seeing the classics come out of hibernation. This will let everyone know spring is here! Show off: . If you are showing your car off at a show bring a couple of extra folding lawn chairs. You never know who may stop by to visit. . Get the camera out and snap a few pictures at the car show. Take some pictures of the car about town or with the kids or grandkids in the front seat. Having these pictures displayed for people to enjoy at the show will be welcomed and will definitely lead to some great conversations. . Have some refreshments available for friends that stop by. Cool bottled water and heart healthy snacks are a good alternative to cold hot dogs and warm soda. . Keep a hat and some sunscreen ready for those intense days at the car show. ------------------------------------ To send a message to this group, send an email to: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm For archives go to http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/Yahoo!
