A little advice from someone whos gotten stuck in the mud more times than I care to remember (in a jeep though) If the diff. was underwater for any length of time I would replace the fluid, also, you ought to take off the wheels and the drums and hose down the brakes really good, also make sure you get all the mud out of any moving suspension parts, bushings, etc. oh yeah, and if you haven't washed it yet don't rub the car with a sponge or towel or anything until the mud is totally gone, otherwise you'll get nice little scrathes all in your paint and chrome. Hope that helps you! Heres the mud swallowing all 31" of my bald all terrains.

Hmm, dont just use anything to wash it down, soften the dirt and then agitate it by using something that wont just grind the dirt into the paint. The dirt wont cause anything unless theres something rubbing up against it, what rubs against it is what causes the scratches. Sorry I'm a detailer http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

And btw, those pics are great! Glad to see shes not a garage queen http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif and the driver isnt afraid to drive her!http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Of couse most of you all know, thats my old C-Dan. well, the owner is notorious for not getting the car dirty. After seeing what I did to his coupe (both the changes, and getting it muddy) I think he was trying to change his image. I was standing right at that spot when he saw me and turned right into the mud hole. I thought he was trying to splash me or something. It was definitely a deliberate action. I'm just glad hes treating it like a car instead of a place to put stickers and cry baby dolls!

whats funny is the guy waits in the sedan while the guy with the tractor has to walk in the mud to hook him up! wonder how "careful" he was hooking up?

[46mopar]

I can't belive I missed that.

[ponchobilly]

Those of us with fenders on thier cars, stayed pretty clean. You fenderless guys get what you deserve! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif "He's mud in yer eye"... or as for Clark & Assgasket, "Here's mud from head to toe"!
Spike- it was just one of those Kodak moments! What can I say?
I had a blast and look forward to the next- Bil

[Boones]

when the sedan got stuck I was sitting on the 'short bus' on the way to the musuem.. the drive, just stopped, got off and left us sitting.. he was the tractor driver also... so we all walked....

here is another of those pic...

when you only trailer you car you dont need much gas..... Sorry Lullabelle, had to post it... LOL

[46mopar]

At least he was there, and with a car too!
Attaboy JT. Next year we race! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yeh he just has a charging problem. Sounds like the guy that sold him the one wire altenator didn't know what a one wire is.
Clark

[plmczy]

Yeah poor JT got a good bustin on all day,hehe, but he took it in good spirit. Hope he gets those electrical(fuel http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)gremlins straightened out. later plmczy

[Boones]

Everyone there knew the car was still in the project stage. I did see it drive off the trailer. .. LOL so I know it did run for short time.

Nice pic clark....

JT- I was digging that car at the show, I didn't know it was yours. That is looking great!!! Nice job.
Bil

[Skate Fink]

........he not only has the cool rod project, he has an awesome Kustom in the works!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Nads]

Somewhere along the line tightasses forgot that hot rods were meant to be driven, and driven hard.
Thank you for keeping that spirit alive boys, rock on forever!

[Spike!]

Clark- Thats not being a dick..being a dick would be saying something like "..Its channeled like Hell and he still needs a step ladder to get in..". THATS being a dick.
Thank You, http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[moondisc]

Spike- It looks like your son is literally following in your footsteps!..As for your Sedan,,i think that guy was a little pissed at ya and prob 'did' try to rub some shit in your face...It was entertaining to say the least. I was shocked to see him run it in the mud myself!!

Boones, I was on that bus with my buddies. We hopped in a car and drove over -- not realizing how close it was.

Word has it that the bus driver / tractor driver wasn't too happy about the cars getting stuck in the mud. Apparently real drivers don't let that happen. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif The bus driver is also apparently the force behind the museum.

[Spike!]

the "Driver" is no other than Lynn Paxton. Hes a dirt track champ and a THE force behind the track and the museum. Also a very nice guy. And be lucky you weren't on the bus last year when he crossed it up on the track while it was full of people. That was funny...

[GRADY]

looks like good clean fun
or at least fun

I was looking thru some old threads and found this.

Enjoy :)

[Never2low]

Great thread, bonus value seeing it is old as hell! I like seeing threads from the old HAMB, makes me feel nostalgic:D
