Heat vent garage in XLR Hyperlight

[WolfWhistle]

How long will it take for someone to find the key photo and know why I don't want the Mustang for myself?

It needs tires and the hubcaps were original... looked better than black stock wheels... but I'm staying with that look and just bought a decent set off of eBay. The tires on it, I had mounted to be able to move it around nearly 14 years ago and are rock hard. Even lowering the pressure didn't help much.

Repop nice quality hubcaps with new center caps run about $500. I'll have a $100 in the ones I have. If I sell it, the new owner will rip them off in a NY minute anyway.

This was mine in 1962. Started building it in 1959.It morphed thru 4 different configurations over the years.I still have it,sitting way back in the corner of my shop.Started buying parts to re-do the old girl acouple years ago,but because of my my back/neck injurys nothing has happened exept acumulate parts.Haveing a surgery done in 3 weeks that should help that,but then it will be time to retrieve the 315 from the factory and it seems that nothing gets done in summer that doesnt involve the camping/trailer.

[Karl4Cat]

Very cool!

[trbomax]

Thank you.It looks a lot different now.50 yrs of sitting in the barn dulled her down a bit! That is the 2nd version of the car as well. Its in its 4th (and likey last) version now.

[WolfWhistle]

Nice T! I assume all original metal, cool. Don't do like me and take 14 years to get it done.

Its a 28 chevy,and that car was all original steel.Shortly after that show I dismantled the entire car and used the original sheet metal to build molds/tooling in order to reproduce the entire car in fiberglass.In the process I also built and entirely new frame with a 3 link coil rear and A arm coil front.Long story made short,I got it in paint,assembled all the electrical finished (electric doors,deck lid,power windows) and got a factory ride in a 1962 Pontiac Super Duty SS stock (430",dual quads,aluminum front end,light wieght frame).I ran that untill Pontiac pulled out of raceing in 1964,then discovered drag boats. So the car got set aside in the barn,and just sat there untill 2 yrs ago when I sort of rediscovered it and brought it to our new place.I started buying parts and intended to build it as a sort of "survivor" car,but with chassis upgrades.An old back injury resurfaced,and untill or if, I can get that resolved,I'm going to have to be happy just camping with the 315.

I recommend Terra Verde NP if you can get by there... Rockie Mountain NP as well. The museum at Cody is a must. I want to get out there and northern CA and Oregon... and Washington. Might plan an Alaskan cruise if timing works out.

WW,
I agree that we need to keep the memories with the kids. The bike rides will come in due time. My DW loves to the bike rides as much as I do, so I know we will head out west again in the future with the bike...

As for the suggested NP's, I'm afraid those will have to be another trip. We are trying to get to Cody but not sure if we can make that on this trip.

Looking forward to the days when I don't have to rush back to work and just stay camping for as long as I want.

P.S. Love the pictures of all the nice cars. Nice bonus to see them...

PH,
I think the bike is out for this trip but we will back to Yellowstone (and other western NP's...) in the future with the bike. That is for sure...

We are busy filling up our 2016 "trips" as well. Many more with the camper this year vs years past. But still have a few "flying" trips we need to make for family events (i.e. 21st b-days in Vegas for nephew and niece...).

Here's to wishing everyone a wonderful & safe camping season...

Hey Karl,

Where in WI this summer?

There is a large get together of members of the Ford 6.7 forum I frequent happening in Dells. Many are camping there and doing a meet and greet. We are staying at Sherwood Forest Campground and RV Park. Going to do the get together thing with the Ford boys but also touring the area with the family. I guess a river cruise is a must. Also, I hear I'm headed to the water park capital of the US so I guess I'll bring my suit...

I've been trying to get Tony (tmilicia here) to join in the fun. Not sure if he has his wife practicing her cough yet?

[tmilicia]

Lol. I'm working on her, but she's a little resistant to the plan. I would love to visit the waterpark capital of the US, I'd be in heaven. I love me some good water rides.

[northstar1960]

NS,
We are staying at Grizzly RV park for a few days at the end of June. Will have to talk as we get closer to the dates...

[northstar1960]

Grizzly is a nice park . right across from the wolf exhibit and next to the imax . your right in town . great access to the park and some good restaurants in W/Y
I'll be out there for the fly fishing and will be offering lessons for campers and may even guide a bit [I used to guide for an Orvis shop in Avon Colorado for about 7 yrs] . along with doing remote emergency RV repair for campers in need . one reason i took a job this winter at a CW as an RV tech .

[stevejd235]

NS,
Afraid mama has us on a tight schedule, so no fly fishing. Nice that you picked up so RV tech skills/certs to help out others.

[northstar1960]

So looking at the new 29's and see they now offer the 35,000 btu furnace , seems they moved the converter distribution panel to the bathroom under the cabinet and to gain more room under the ref .

[northstar1960]

lots to do in Yellowstone and time is always short . i'll be riding to Sturgis again this yr from there . 512 miles makes for a long day on the bike.

[stevejd235]

NS,
Agree there is always more to do than time will allow.
We won't make it to Sturgis till 2019 or 2020. Have fun...
