Your correct. Dolensek goes in straight lines with his Cyclone and Johnson does left and right in his camaro. Johnson did a very cool build of a Cyclone for the Optima challenge.

Looks like it was very fun and my compliments to your driving skills. Thank you for sharing and driving the car in competition. Have you ever met Randy Dolensek? He has a Mercury Cyclone and a Camaro he has campaigned on the Optima circuit. He lives up there as well and has been a great...

I am in agreement that if you have the room keep them. You may want to go a different direction with the car in the future or if you do sell the next owner may want to go back to stock. I can also say that when I have acquired other cars it is good to have some parts to move onto the new one...

No comparison in my opinion. Mach 1 is vastly better in every way. It does have the V8 and this thing wallows around on the road with velvet like suspension. You definitely do not feel the road like you do in the mustang. It does not help that mine is concourse and on bias-ply tires either.

Picked up the Mercedes from my Dad two weeks ago in WI. He bought from a close friend of mine back in 2002. His wife's father had bought it new in 78 and when she graduated from college gave it to her. They used it as a regular driver for several years. It has 140K miles on it but the...

I would have the discussion with the insurance provider. If you put up a good fight and they still say no you are still at the point you are right now. If they say yes and at least give the the insured value back us that money towards your next ride. You would need to buy back the car from...

Many many years ago I learned AMC products in the 80's used the same governor and switch assembly. I lived in an AMC town so a quick trip to the junkyard and I had intermittent wipers. It is an easy conversion.

If you are looking for an MCA National in a very scenic location and from what I have heard a very well organized show here is one to attend in early October. Over the years of attending MCA shows I have been told by several longtime members that when this show becomes available it is one to...

Many in the group (including myself) have used SMS. They did have bolts of true Comfortweave material if that is what you are trying to get. If you search comfortweave in the forum you should get many hits. One of them is a well written exchange on the loss of the manufacturer of comfortweave...

I have had 2 Advantage lifts. Also looking at a 12K Forward 2post lift for the new garage for the dually and anything else lighter.

Welcome from a former cheese head who grew up in Kenosha and acquired my 72 there back in the early 80's. Now transplanted down south. This is a great group to help out as you work through your projects.

While at the 60th in Birmingham and awaiting the receipt of my Concourse Grill Medallion I was approached by a gentlemen indicating he would like to photograph my car for an MCA Mustang Times story. He stated he had been at the MCA in Melbourne, FL last year and wanted to get a photoshoot but...

The 60th was a great experience not only for the show but for reaching a goal of my grill medallion for the 72. I am so so happy to have had all of these years and experiences with my father and feel so blessed that we will both share in these memories forever. Just to add more significance my...

Kevken It was great to see you at the pumps headed out. Sorry for taking up the whole fuel lane with truck and trailer. We will need to meet up again and talk 71-73's some more. Wished we would have made the forum connection while we were together talking at the car. You really do have a...

Best wishes on the build. Understand that there will be periodic frustrations, but it is all worth it in the end. Take your time and celebrate the victories.

Congrats on the win Ron. Well deserved for sure. Their trophies are really cool. Definitely a great conversation piece with folks. Hope you had a great time. I do agree though that the majority of the show is newer models. While I respect other years and I am thankful people are keeping...

Welcome from the Chattanooga, TN area.

The 60th will be a big one for me. Finally will be awarded my grill medallion on Saturday 4/6/24. It has been a long period of showing and judging in Concourse to get here. Don't get me wrong, it has been a great experience and my father and I have had the opportunity to spend time together...

I will be there with the 72 and in the Conservator class for the first time. Looking forward to not being judged anymore for 3-4 hours in Concourse class. I am really looking forward to getting my Blue MCA medallion on Saturday afternoon. It has been a long 10 yrs. working towards that goal...

I will not be able to attend. Too much going on with work and family right now. Best wishes to you and hope you have a good time.
