NEMOC Random BS Thread

I'm really curious to see what they will sell for. A 0-mile car from that era is cool, but what do you do with it? Cloth interiors would disintegrate if you sat on them. Hoses and other rubber bits will have dried out. Vinyl tops crack. Dashboards if left in the sun fade. They may be 0 miles but they probably need the same restoration treatment as cars out there with 100,000 miles. Gear heads looking for projects will have plenty to choose from, collectors may want to preserve them. Me? I think I'd rather find something that is running and driving. Also keep in mind that these are cars left over that weren't sold. They probably weren't the desirable models at the time and that probably applies today. I see a lot of 6 cylinder pickups.

What's up NEMOC friends?

Had a fun weekend. Went to Indy with Marlon, watched the 70 car become the first diesel to win at Indy. Marlon got to kiss the bricks with the team too! I have to see if the picture I got was worthwhile or not.

Did a dyno day on Saturday with the MSM. I more or less showed up to hang out with friends who dyno'd and they had openings, so I threw the car on. See my build thread for details. Not going to clutter it up here.
 
hey phen, what's that #5 1st place wins for the 70? first diesel to run indy since a cummings in the 30's, i thnk!
 
Hey, hey, hey.

Cool news about the 70 Phen! I spent 7hrs in the kitchen yesterday working a 'tasting'. Helped the Chef out by coming in on a day off and he repaid me by letting me leave at six when the event ended. I'm sure the other guys were there until at least eight cleaning up.

Mahk, is this house down South?

Since the 50's actually. Still freaking cool. The 00 car has the wins in class. I'm pretty sure this is the first win for the 70 car.
 
Hi All,

Ran autox yesterday and finished 4th again lol. Had fun as usual.

Must be nice to be in Indy. Looking forward to LRP.

no, this is the house my daughter is building in the apple orchard right behind where i used to live in WB. so we've got an apartment going in over their 3 car garage. it's 30x36 so about 1100 sq ft. 2 beds and a bath, open floor plan kitchen eating and living area, deck off the back about 12x12. looking forward to it!
 
hey mark! do you have any interest in a convertible boot? apparently the one that came with my NA is actually for an NB :P
 
crap! forgot about your msm phen! had i known it was for an NB i would have just dropped it off at evans when i drove through akron :)
 
That's alright. Lime Rock is coming soon. Gives me time to make sure I have all of the required hardware for it to even hook up.
 
yeah lime rock! i usually get righthanders tickets from a friend for that day but maybe ill actually pay the money for the corral this year
 
Nice! In the lower 48 we call it street hockey! ;) I used to play 2 nights a week, knees don't do so well anymore. Good times!
 
sunburst was intermittently over heating on me last night and this morning. wouldnt matter if i turned heat and a/c on to cool it down, the temp gauge just would stay up for about 2 minutes, and then it would drop back to normal. then a few minutes later up again, and back down (but not as high). did smell some coolant when at a stop light so ill be doing a coolant flush tonight and new thermostat :)
