The race is on for me, car has been running like crap. Come to find out I am running on 7 cylinders with another on its way out. Need valve guides at least and maybe more as I have exhaust valves that are not working. Means the heads have to come off and I am at the mercy of the machine shop. Holding on to my reservation but not looking good.

Not too long and the show will be here! If anyone is interested in helping out the parking crew there is a free Tshirt and refreshments available to those willing. I need to know availability and size for the shirts. There will be shifts to keep everything moving along. Will also be able to have time for setting up your car for judging. Friday is the busiest day and only till 11am Saturday morning. Please private message me and thank you in advance!

Anyone have some good suggestions on what to see during our downtime?

Obviously the falls... but what else?

There is the Buffalo Naval Memorial Park / Canal Side on the waterfront in Buffalo. Buffalo Science Museum, Pierce Arrow Auto Museum, The Buffalo Bisons may be playing at home. Lots of restaurants in downtown Buffalo.

I drove the park yesterday, Looks to be a very nice place, the breezes there should help cool things down. If it gets too hot I do recommend the Niagara River / Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours in Lewiston. (20 minutes from Grand Island) There is is no way you can walk away from that and not be wet.

Car is back together and fired up last night! Thanks to my amazing Uncle who is the best mechanic I know. There is no way I could have done it without him, literally the car would be parked right now. Had to pull the heads and I had cracked a valve, valve guides were also shot. The heads were off of a 400 2v truck of some sort so I ended up finding some 351c 4v heads. Had to order a ton of parts and was waiting on a few things more than once.

Should be interesting for the drive up on Sat, not going to get a lot of miles on the car before the 2 hour drive to Buffalo.

I went up to Old Fort Niagara this morning, man that was amazing. I have been to forts in the Caribbean that aren't even as cool as that. Can't wait to see how the pics came out. Now time for the Mustang festivities.
