Richard,
You Arizona types. Mountain Daylight Time is one hour later than Mountain Standard Time. You are the same time as Pacific Daylight now.

Got a surprise call from the garage. Said they got the AC compressor in but not charged yet. Said I could take it now uncharged, or they would charge it first thing in the morning. Opted for taking it tonight so Flordemayo dropped me off and left. You can probably guess the next part. Didn't start There was an unconnected elecric plug that looked like it plugs into the AC compressor. But not knowing what I was doing I did not plug it in lest I screw something up. Resto Rally Or Bust See you as early tomorrow as possible maybe with working AC.

Excellent ! Keep those photos coming. Seems like all I have been able to think about since mid-Thursday is you guys having so much fun and sharing your knowledge and learning much more.

...jealous
I'm working this weekend and bummed, but appreciate the photos. Right now I bet people are sitting around, drinking wine, playing guitar, and talking story.
It's great to see folks getting together and enjoying themselves.

Today was absolutely phenomenal! The energy and time committed to this fantastic rally, by both the organizing committee and attendees, is unbelievable! The day started with everything you ever wanted to know about brakes and axles (Thanks Uwe and Luke!) in a seminar setting; then moved on to riveting, sheetmetal and tools. Following lunch, it was hands-on around the park. Kip drew large crowds for a riveting demonstration (which was riveting!) at his trailer; then everyone headed over to Levon's trailer to learn about polishing.
The presenters were chosen for a reason, and today it was obvious why. They are all experts in their fields and enthusiastically shared their knowledge with all attendees.
To wrap up the evening everyone participated in a catered dinner in the club house. Looking forward to tomorrow!

I would loved to have participated in the weekend, but stopping by on Friday was well worth the time. If a picture is worth a 1,000 words the physical manifestation is exponentialy more useful. How come no one has a polished swamp cooler though?

Here is another view of Kip's hands-on rivet demonstration at the FCU Restoration Rally. This is SteSpot and SilverPal2 trying their hand at riveting. Enjoy!

Restoration Rally Group Photo
A very educational hands on rally. Kudos to Ken J and the presenters, meal planners, commercial sponsors, etc. Notice all the Vintage Trailer Supply T shirts.
(Thanks also to Lewster for the terrific wireless backup camera door prize).

I wonder if the the Bee's back window shape had anything to do with sales?
