Getting Ready for the Dover Reunion..
Got the 70 Black TH400 car out of its "sleeping bag" on Monday to get ready for the Dover Reunion and Nostalgia Drags. There were some puddles of tranny fluid in "the bag"..so I decided to have my boys at Kinderhook Transmission go thru everything and get her ready for the 1320 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]
I ordered some Energay Suspension motor and tranny mounts...we are upgrading the lines to the remote cooler and fixing a few leaking seals and gaskets. Also added a nice yellow timing tape to the balancer...this will help my "aging vision" [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Every time you look at one of these old cars you see something new...Jeff at the shop pointed out the aftermarket converter that was installed back in the day. (I never knew [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]) This car was raced in the Buffalo, New York area and a prior owner must have added the high stall unit along witht he 4.10 gears and Lakewood Bars. I need to install some Lakewood stickers to the bars before Saturday...some older bearded gentlemen gave me a set [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]
This shop does first rate work..they are old school and very thorough and clean. They truly respect your car and enjoy working on the classic hotrods...glad they are right up the street [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
We leave early Saturday morning to go to Lebanon Valley..Dino and company will be in attendence..hope it doesn't rain!
