    Haven't decided yet really.

    Need to get off my ass and get a hotel room. Everywhere I;ve stayed before is either sold out or closed. Not really wanting to pay the going rate of $200 plus a night for one of the high dollar hotels either.

    mid-day Friday, me in the 50 Chev truck, a buddy driving his 59 Apache and my Cousin's 30 sedan (hopefully).
     

  5. Don't be so cheap, Big Bank Hank.
     
  6. pay it, there will be someone sleeping on the floor and splitting rent. I had an upper 200. room last year, had 3 folks ended up sleeping on the floor.
    this year I got a suite w/ a 2 bed set up. I can bet money someone will need the space.

    I got a room, but my brakes went out last week... So, I have pulled off the front drums and removed the hubs from the drums, and will be putting on disks, and a new master and running new line and puttin' new cylinders in the rear drums... Pray for me to make it to Round up this year riddin' high in my truck
     
  19. Damn, Andrew, do you think you can install some brakes in two and a half months?

    1) I'm prety much working when not sleeping, 2) I've never done this before,..

    3) Got the front breaks off last night, removed hubs from drums, got one king pin out (Oh, yeah, I'm putting in new King Pins also) but... I pounded away on the driver side king pin for a half hour with a sledge and drift and it only slightly dimppled the bottom seal... I'll take a few more swings at it tonight, then get out the torch to see if it is more persuaded by the hammer at higher temperatures.

    Hey, speaking of brakes. I'm switching to a disk / drum setup. I've got a dual circuit corvette style master with a disk / drum proportioning valve...will I also need a residual pressure valve somewhere???
     
  21. I bet the hot wrench will do it to it, just don't get it TOO hot. I don't know from residual pressure valves, ask Unclee. Did he call you? He asked for your number. I said he could probably find it on any given bathroom wall in the
    Montrose area...

    Ya Uncle Lee called me. I need to call him and ask about the pressure valve. And, for heaven's sake stop writing my number on the bathroom wall in the clubs you frequent.
