Making a Run to the LA Roadster Show and Beyond
I am going to run out to the LA Roadster show with a bunch of guys from Smithfield, VA of which there is a thread in the HAMB. I will be gone 3+ weeks, so I thought I would chronical everything here on the 'Barn starting with the prep of my roadster up until the day I return home. Something like I did on my run out to Bonneville but do it here this time.
So, to get started, another 'Barner, Gabby here on this forum, Earl, will be riding shotgun. I have started getting my roadster ready. I have a list ..... Different wheels and tires Oil, filter, grease Plugs and wires Paint my hood Run through every nut and bolt Drain the rearend Adjust brakes, check brake fluid Fresh antifreeze (thermoscwere replaced last fall) Pack all my spare parts Water pumps Distributor Tools, rear axle puller, spare axle, axle keys Grease, fresh set of plugs Yamalube Cleaning supplies Spare starter, starter solenoid Spare carbs, rebuilt kits Full gasket set, fuses Extra gas lines, electric fuel pump, fuel regulator Spare oil, brake fluid, antifreeze, grease gun, rainex Jumper cables, tarp for rainy o-nights Floor jack, jack stand, lug wrench, fire extinguisher Jumper cables, hand cleaner, rags, towels OK - by now you are probably wondering where an I going to put all this stuff?!?! So, tires - I have a fresh set of wheels and tires ready to go but they are wide five and I am presently running 5.5 inch pattern. My present tires are showing some wear up front after 8 years or so of driving. So, in order to use them on my car I bought a set of adapters from American racing for the front f100 hubs and I have a nice set of wide five rear hubs. This stuff is all for a Mod A p-up project that is presently on the back burner. A buddy of mine has a set of '37 spider caps that I have cleaned up but have plenty of patina ... Next up is to install them and order some new cloth wires .. . |
