Default Re: 2013 Moonshine Festival

Murphy's Law struck this morning... I took the '51 F-1 out to run some errands and, when I came out of one stop, there was water on the top of the left front fender... I opened the hood and could see evidence of a slight water leak at the base of the upper tank on the radiator... Not having enough time to pull the radiator, have it repaired and re install it today, I opted for plan "B", the '39 CS... I had planned to replace one water pump on the '39 (as the pulley shaft was letting some water out) when I returned from the Moonshine Festival... Instead, I spent the morning swapping out one water pump on the '39, I also greased everything and put in a new set of spark plugs... now I have to transfer things from the '51 into the '39 and give her a wash. I put the top down several weeks ago and, at this point, I think I'll leave it down as it is a real pain in the butt to put up without help... Undaunted, we continue. I just love my Flatheads.
