It's HEMI time !!! Compliments of NJSteve

Yes, the Maginot Line of Chevies kept her at bay. No extra parts, but the gas tank read 1/2 full when we got back home after being 1/4 at the show. Must be those pesky poltergeists again. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Great to meet you, too. It was a wonderful show. Can't wait for next year. I can bring a lighter car and maybe get 9-1/2 mpg towing it.

I was glad my three-month trailer restoration passed the road test! That was my main worry...that and the 111,000 mile 6.5 diesel surviving. The truck worked fine. The trailer looked like hell, but performed great. You can see my new 3/4&quot; replacement plywood extension ramp complete with 3/8&quot; stainless steel piano hinge in this shot. (Those heavy duty piano hinges were sure hard to find).

Oh, and of course here's my trusted friend Al, helping out. He's a great guy. If anyone ever needs an honest, old school (and new school, too) mechanic in Jersey, drop me a line and I'll give you his contact info. Some of you guys talked to him at the show. He is a wellspring of automotive knowledge and trivia. He worked as a mechanic in Newark in the early 1970's and has all sorts of scary stories from back in the day.
