Hornet update
Been out using the car. Tomorrow my brother, my dad and I leave for Kenosha WI for their big Homecoming car show they put on once every 3 years. Pretty excited to go as this will be my first year going. I’d like to bring Marty too but it’s too far to drive right now and unfortunately I gave him the summer cold I picked up last week. My brother has no interest in cars but according to him there are some great golf courses up there and he’s a big golfer so he’s going with us. Will make for a fun trip.
Got the car washed and ready today. Tightened up bolts and went over things so I can drive the car around Kenosha for a couple of days. I also changed out all of the gauges from the garbage that Williamsons instruments did for me. They suck by the way. To an old pair of SW gauges and A 55 year old Sun Super Tach signed by Richard Ruth. I met him at MCACN and have been lucky enough to strike up a friendship with him. He signed this Super Tach for me at the show. I wanted this one signed because it’s the exact model used in the 55 in Two Lane Blacktop.

First picture is my dad and I at Carlisle Chryslers. We only stayed Friday but had fun.
Next couple of pictures is working on the car getting it ready for Kenosha. The front wheel bearings needed to be tightened a touch and the front drums needed to be adjusted. I greased the front end and replaced the fuel filter. It was clean but has been on the car since I put it on the road over a year ago.

Last picture was Marty supervising my work on the car the other day while sitting on a 360 AMC block laying by the garage.

Thanks for reading and I’ll try to post an update or two from Kenosha over the next few days.
