thank you.
Its hard to find someone with a mandrel bender in town. Best bet is to buy the correct bends and diameter and have a professional welder put em' together or use couplers to connect the pipes.

Post some pics of the progress, lets see what type of bends your wanting

Got done replacing some old sway links up front due to clunking noises. These new links sure are responsive when turning though....Rides kinds stiff as well.
FD are some of the very few cars that actually uses bearings for some of their suspension where as a normal car there would be rubber inserts.

Gotta work on the rear soon. The OEM pillow ***** didn't like the launches several months ago at the strip. Their also popping after just 2 1/2 years installed.

We're going to try and make it, but our question is the same as Snap's: which Red Robin are we going to, exactly?

I hope nobody in the Red Robin parking lot was put off by the magic trick I did in the 86 before leaving.

You mean how you got the back tires to spin faster than the front tires?
I learned two key things last night though, 1. I don't favor mint much and 2. How to keep things from becoming homosexual between two bros....
So December 15th anyone?

Kat and I were thinking Fatte Alberts would be a good choice this time around since it'll be too cold for an outdoor place like Sonics or Rallys. They're a quirky pizza place with lots of crazy toppings and have good space for groups. Also there's a parking lot right across the street in case parking in front runs out. I'll try to get in touch with the Lemoore guys that don't frequent the forum.

December 15
6:30
Fatte Albert's Pizza
110 East 7th Street
Hanford


1. Pat & Kat
2. Camaro Ken
3.

What if we moved the meet back closer to you? You're the only person signed up for the Hanford meet so I doubt anyone will mind. LOL!

Met a guy with a REPU today (in Hanford, of all places!) and gave him our card, so hopefully he'll come check us out. I'm going to go find a way to mask my jealousy.

What are we feeling about this month's meet? Do we need to move it back to the Fresno area?

I have a good idea for the meet: meeting up at Figs' house and dropping a new engine and 6-speed into his car.
